GrowingGift bundles fractional shares and cryptocurrency into digital gift certificates whose value moves with the market until the recipient redeems. Lyqx Agency designed the product; I built all of it.

The technical scope was the integrations: brokerage APIs for stock trades, exchange APIs for crypto, and live market pricing so a gift shows an accurate value at the moment it is chosen. Order tracking follows each gift from purchase through delivery to redemption.

Each certificate is a generated PDF with the personal message, the asset details, and a unique redemption flow, which had to look right and carry everything the recipient needs to claim it. Because financial gifting touches securities rules, the architecture accounts for KYC requirements, transaction limits, and proper asset custody, with as much of that automated as possible so the experience stays simple.

In the first three months after completion, users sent more than 3,000 gifts through the platform. It is built for both retail users and business uses such as employee rewards and customer appreciation.
