How to upgrade a gift?

To upgrade a gift to a collectible gift, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the upgrade option is available on the gift.
2. Select the gift.
3. Click the "Upgrade for ⭐️ 25" button.
4. When upgrading, you can choose to leave a link to the sender's profile with their comment or hide this information.

What happens after upgrading?

An upgraded gift gets unique characteristics:
• Unique serial number;
• Gift model;
• Background patterns;
• Background color.

These features are randomly generated, and their rarity is determined by the percentage chance of dropping. The lower the probability of a particular feature appearing, the more unique the gift becomes.

Important to know:
• You cannot upgrade a gift again.
• If you have not hidden the author and comment on the gift, then it will be impossible to change this in the future.
• A message will be sent to your dialogue with the sender stating that you have upgraded the gift, including all its new features.

How to convert a gift into an NFT?

An upgraded gift can be converted into an NFT on the TON blockchain, but only 21 days after the upgrade.

Timer features: If an upgraded gift was sent or received again, the timer is reset to 21 days.

For example, your friend upgraded a gift 11 days ago and gave it to you. To convert it into an NFT, you will have to wait 21 days from the moment of receipt.

What's next?

After conversion, the gift will be sent to your non-custodial wallet. You will be able to sell it through marketplaces: for example, Fragment.com and others, and also use it at your discretion.
