Thank you for these insightful questions! I’d be happy to clarify.
Educating Users About Cryptocurrency: Our project is not centered around providing comprehensive education on cryptocurrency, but rather on making the onboarding process simple and accessible for new users. We aim to remove the technical barriers to entry so that people can experience crypto without needing to know the complexities of wallets or blockchain technology upfront. That said, we do ensure users receive the necessary instructions, especially around important topics like exporting wallets and managing private keys. This way, they can feel secure and have a basic understanding of how to manage their crypto assets as they onboard.
Security Protocols: Security is a top priority for us, given the prevalence of scams in the crypto space. We’ve integrated multi-layer security protocols, including the use of Privy for Two-Factor and Multi-Factor Authentication in future, to protect user data and transactions. We also adhere to strict privacy standards, ensuring that only the necessary user data is stored and processed. This helps mitigate risks and ensures users can transact safely on our platform. We’re committed to regularly updating our security measures as threats evolve to keep users protected.
Expansion Plans: Yes, we definitely have plans to expand in the future. While our initial focus is on streamlining the onboarding process for non-crypto users, we are looking at broadening our support for more blockchains and token types, as well as potentially offering additional features like portfolio management down the line. Our ultimate goal is to help bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3, and as demand grows, we’ll continue to evolve the platform to meet users’ needs and enhance their experience in the crypto ecosystem.
Ok that was a specific goal at the moment and I like the pace at which you are taking to accommodate more advanced users.
Given that the platform focuses on users who don’t have prior knowledge about blockchain technology, how do you handle security concerns related to email based crypto transfers such as phishing?
Thank you for your thoughtful question regarding phishing risks.
Our platform is designed with security as a top priority, especially since we aim to onboard users who may not have prior experience with blockchain technology. Here’s how we handle security concerns related to email-based crypto transfers:
Automatic Wallet Creation Linked to Recipient’s Email: When a sender initiates a transaction, we automatically generate a wallet that is linked to the recipient’s email address. All the tokens are transferred directly into that wallet. This means that even before the recipient engages with the platform, their assets are securely held in a blockchain-based wallet, which reduces the chances of tampering.
Secure Email Notification and Authentication: After the wallet is created and the tokens are transferred, we send an email notification to the recipient. However, just clicking the link in the email won’t give the user access to their tokens. The recipient must authenticate themselves using the same email address via our platform’s secure login. This authentication adds an extra layer of protection, ensuring that only the legitimate email holder can access the wallet.
Dashboard Access After Successful Authentication: Once the recipient is successfully authenticated, they are redirected to their dashboard where they can view their tokens and transaction history. This step further ensures that even if someone accidentally clicks on a phishing link, without the correct email and authentication, they cannot access the wallet.
Security Through Email Authentication: By requiring the recipient to authenticate with their email before gaining access to their wallet and tokens, we add an extra layer of security, mitigating risks associated with phishing attacks. Even if a malicious actor gains access to the notification email, they cannot access the wallet without the correct email credentials.
This combination of automatic wallet creation, email authentication, and a secure dashboard provides robust protection against phishing while keeping the process simple for users.
This is as interesting as it gets, if a sender wants to resend tokens to the same recipient, how will this be handled? Will the recipient receive a new claim email, or will the tokens automatically be added to their existing wallet?
I must have to confess it, this your style will be very very valuable to your project as you grow big and will help for the global audience, please tell me for your multi bilingual support which language and which regions will you put first of all, thank you
Great question! Let me clarify how resending tokens to the same recipient works on our platform.
When a sender resends tokens to the same recipient:
Automatic Addition to Existing Wallet: The recipient will not receive a new wallet each time. Since the recipient already has a wallet linked to their email address from the initial transaction, any new tokens sent by the sender will automatically be added to the recipient’s existing wallet. This ensures that all the tokens are consolidated in one place, making it easier for the recipient to manage their assets.
Notification Email: However, the recipient will still receive a new email notification informing them that additional tokens have been sent. This email will not require them to claim the tokens again but will serve as a notification of the added assets. After authenticating themselves as usual, the recipient will be able to access their wallet and see the newly added tokens through the dashboard.
This approach makes the process seamless for both senders and recipients while maintaining security and convenience.
When it comes to offering multi-lingual support, community engagement is going to play a critical role in shaping the languages we prioritize. While we have some initial ideas, we want to listen to our users and the broader community to ensure we’re providing support in the languages that matter most to them.
That said, we’ll also consider regions where it’s legally required to provide information in the native language, like in France, where offering French is essential. These regions will be our top priority, but at the same time, we want to stay flexible and adapt based on the feedback we receive from users globally.
By engaging with the community and listening to their needs, we can ensure that CryptoCourier remains inclusive and accessible, no matter where users are from.
This totally ensures that recipients can manage their assets easily without having to go through repeated claim processes.
How do you handle failed or rejected transactions if, for example, the recipient’s linked wallet is temporarily inaccessible?
In cases where the recipient’s linked wallet is temporarily inaccessible, we have mechanisms in place to handle such situations. The transaction itself is recorded on the blockchain, so once the tokens are sent, they are secured in the recipient’s wallet, even if they cannot access it immediately.
If the recipient is temporarily unable to access their wallet, the tokens remain safely stored there, and the recipient can claim them as soon as they regain access to their account. We ensure that no repeated claim process is required, so the recipient can directly view and manage their tokens once they log back in.
We also plan to incorporate notifications to alert recipients of failed or incomplete transactions, ensuring that they stay informed. Additionally, senders will have visibility of the transaction status on their end, offering transparency in case of any temporary disruptions.
Thank you for you’re replying to me I want to say that the way you are approaching the multi bilingual support is very very good, please tell me is there any key language that you will be taking very very seriously, thank you
I must confess, your approach to handling situations where the recipient’s wallet is temporarily inaccessible clearly demonstrates a solid understanding of user experience and blockchain fundamentals.
How will you handle situations where a recipient is unable to access their wallet for an extended period? Will there be an option for the sender to reclaim or resend the tokens if they remain unclaimed for a certain timeframe?
After going through your project details where you talked about email gifting, automatic wallet creation, privy integration,rainbowkit wallet configuration,bttc Blockchain integration and transaction history
I have some questions that needs clarity
What precautions are in place to protect freshly created crypto wallet.
What security measures have been put for privacy of email addresses used for gifting.
What gain does the rainbowkit wallet provide for their users in terms of satisfaction.
Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad to hear that you appreciate our approach to multilingual support.
At the moment, we’re fully focused on developing the MVP for CryptoCourier, so multilingual support is part of our future roadmap rather than something we’ve implemented in the current phase. However, we understand the importance of accessibility for users across different regions.
In the meantime, users can easily make use of browser-based translation extensions, which will translate the entire website into their preferred language. This is a quick and effective way to ensure everyone can interact with the platform, even before we roll out native multilingual support in the future.

Thank you for the kind words! I’m glad you appreciate our approach to handling situations where recipients may face accessibility issues with their wallets.
In cases where a recipient is unable to access their wallet for an extended period, we currently don’t offer an option for the sender to reclaim or resend the tokens automatically. This is because, once the transaction is completed and the tokens are sent, they are securely linked to the recipient’s email address and the wallet generated for them.
However, if the recipient doesn’t claim the tokens, they will always have access to their linked wallet when they do authenticate via their email. The tokens will remain safely stored there until they log in and claim them. We believe this ensures security while allowing the recipient to access the funds at their convenience.
That being said, we are always open to community feedback and may consider implementing options like reclaiming tokens if a need arises in the future. For now, we suggest recipients keep track of their claim emails and use the wallet dashboard for managing their assets.

Thank you for your detailed questions! I’m happy to clarify these points.
Precautions for Freshly Created Wallets: When a crypto wallet is automatically created upon sending a gift, it is protected using standard cryptographic practices. The wallet is linked to the recipient’s email, and access to the wallet is secured through email-based authentication via Privy. Only the recipient can access the wallet after they authenticate through the secure process, and they can choose to export their private keys if they wish to manage the wallet independently. Additionally, no sensitive wallet details are stored or shared outside the platform.
Security Measures for Email Privacy: To ensure the privacy of the email addresses used for gifting, we’ve integrated Privy, which specializes in data privacy. The email addresses are securely hashed, and we never store plain text emails or share them with any third-party services. Only the essential information required to authenticate the user and deliver the gift is processed, ensuring robust privacy protection.
Benefits of RainbowKit for User Satisfaction: The RainbowKit wallet enhances user satisfaction by offering a seamless and user-friendly interface for managing crypto assets. For new users, it provides an easy onboarding experience, while more experienced users can integrate their existing wallets and enjoy additional functionalities, such as multi-wallet support. The clean design and intuitive flow make the transition into Web3 smoother for all users, ensuring that both crypto-native and new users have a pleasant experience.
