Who it is for

An office of thirty sets a gift circle. The chain draws pairs; each person only sees their own match.

Why it is new

What exists today, and what this does differently

What is new

Secret Santa apps exist off chain; provably fair onchain pairing was not found.

Closest things out there

Elfster (off chain).

Checked with web searches in October 2026. A search is not proof that nothing similar exists, and the market moves fast, so we recheck before every build.

BLUEPRINT

Why it matters and how it really works

The recipe (how it is built, the data, costs, risks, build order, the pitch and the demo script) is unlocked when your app is paid in full.

The need

Gift circles in offices, families and clubs run on trust in whoever draws the names. The organizer can always see every pair, people ask for quiet swaps, and when the same two people match twice, someone says it was rigged. Nobody can prove otherwise.

What exists and what is new

Secret Santa apps already exist and work well off chain: Elfster is the best known, and many free web tools draw names and send emails. They all ask you to trust the operator's server. Research did not find a ready product that draws the circle with onchain randomness so the draw itself is publicly verifiable. That part is new. The rest (invites, wishlists, reminders) is familiar and borrowed on purpose. The app still seals each person's match on its own server, so it is fairer and more provable than a coffee tin, not trustless in every respect.

The data it runs on

Unlocked when your app is paid in full

1.The mission

Make every gift circle fair enough that nobody has to defend the hat.

2.Why people can't resist it

Open my tag A single sealed reveal per person. The moment of opening it is the fun part, and it is truly private.

Provably fair Anyone can check the draw transaction. Organizers love not being blamed.

Friday hints One anonymous hint a week to your person keeps the circle alive until the party.

3.How it works for real

4.Pricing

Cost per use: unlocked when your app is paid in full.

Free $0
Up to 15 people, one circle a year, basic wishlists.
Office $29 per circle
Up to 200 people, team rules, Slack and email reminders, branded tags.
Community $9 a month
Unlimited circles for clubs and families, Friday hints, gift tracking.

5.Growth loop

Every member who opens a tag sees how the draw was done and who made it. The share card and the public draw link travel to other offices and families, and next December's organizer is often this year's guest.

8.Where this is going

  1. Now
    Fair Secret Santa for offices, families and clubs.
  2. Next
    Other fair draws: chore rotas, mentor pairings, seating plans and raffle style giveaways with no prize money.
  3. Later
    Sealing moves onchain with encryption the app cannot open, so the organizer and the app both see nothing.

Nine routes from one vessel. Tap a port to open its chart.

Why own Secret Gift

Secret Gift: Secret Santa and gift circles drawn by onchain randomness, with nobody able to peek. Using someone else's version means their rules, their brand and their revenue. Owning Secret Gift means it is deployed under your wallet, carries your name, and every customer, partner and result builds your track record instead of theirs.

What’s stopping you?

“I am not technical.”

Secret Gift arrives deployed with a guide. Running it is settings and sharing links, not code. If you get stuck, we help you ship it.

“What if nobody uses it?”

Start with ten people you already know. The first move below takes under an hour and tells you fast whether people care.

“I do not have time.”

Each step is sized in minutes. Most owners spend an hour a week, and the app does the repetitive part.

“Will it make me money?”

Nothing is guaranteed. The playbook gives you a clear path and honest numbers, and you decide how far to take it.

The million-dollar ladder

Charge the people who get the most value from Secret Gift: a monthly plan for groups or teams, plus setup fees for anyone who wants it done for them.
