Built to be the liquidity source everyday people never had.
My name is Brian Gardner. I built GiftCards for Crypto because I believe most people are sitting on money they don't know they have — and the systems that should help them access it are slow, predatory, or simply don't exist yet.
I'm a Floridian. I'm a single parent. I've spent most of my adult life around regular working families — the kind who get gift cards they can't use, who need cash on a Sunday when banks are closed, who don't have a financial advisor or a brokerage account or a reason to care about DeFi. People who just need access to their own value, now, without being charged for the privilege or made to feel lucky someone would help them.
The existing exchanges in this space pay pennies on the dollar, take days to settle, and make you jump through hoops designed to protect them — not you. The peer-to-peer platforms are full of strangers you have to trust with your card details and your patience. Neither option respects your time or your money.
So I built the version that does. Automated balance verification using official APIs. Fixed rates published upfront and honored at submission. Payouts dispatched in minutes, not business days. A federally registered business on the other side of every trade — not a random account, not an algorithm, not a middleman who disappears if something goes wrong.
Gift card exchange is the beginning, not the destination. The model I'm building toward is broader: a source of liquidity that everyday households can depend on, across asset types, across situations. Prepaid cards, vouchers, digital assets, rewards balances — value that gets trapped in formats people can't use. My goal is to unlock it. Every new asset class we support, every new payout option we add, every new country we serve is one more door opened for people who had no door before.
We're registered with as a US-incorporated business. Our compliance program is real and our rates are honest. But what drives me every morning isn't the registration — it's the person who turned a Christmas card they'd never use into rent money in twelve minutes. That's what this is for.
