What is a giveaway?

2 min readUpdated Aug 7, 2026

A giveaway is a prize draw you run from your wallet. You set a prize, a number of winners and a deadline, the app locks the money, and when the deadline hits it picks the winners at random and pays them automatically.

It’s the tool for rewarding a channel audience: you post one link, people tap Participate, and you never have to pick or pay anyone by hand.

How it works

  1. You create the giveaway and it locks prize × number of winners from your balance.
  2. You share the link — usually as a post in your channel.
  3. People open it and enter. You can require them to join one or more channels first.
  4. At the deadline the draw runs by itself. Each winner is credited one prize straight to their wallet and gets a notification.

There is no platform fee. Every unit you lock goes to the winners.

Finding giveaways in the app

Open More → Giveaways. The screen has two tabs:

  • Participate — the giveaways you’ve entered, with their status and result.
  • Created — the ones you’re running, with participant counts and a manage screen for each.

What you can set

  • The asset and the prize per winner (or a total pool the app splits for you).
  • The number of winners — from 1 to 100.
  • Channels to join to enter — up to five.
  • The duration — 1 hour, 24 hours or 7 days.
  • Whether the winners list is published after the draw.
  • Whether entry is limited to people who haven’t entered your previous giveaways.

⚠️ A published giveaway is final

Once you launch it, a giveaway can’t be cancelled or edited. The prize stays locked until the draw. The only automatic exit is running short of eligible participants — then the whole hold comes back to you. See How winners are picked and paid.
