Send Hongbao
Hongbao (Red packet) is a festive way to send crypto on PingMe by splitting one amount into multiple packets and letting luck decide how much each recipient gets. Instead of sending the same amount to everyone, Hongbao adds an element of luck to make payments more social and fun again.
Hongbao is inspired by the traditional red packets exchanged during celebrations, now reimagined for instant, on-chain payments.
