Quick answer. To send crypto to a friend on Blackboard, open Wallet → Send, choose To a Blackboard user and search their nickname. The app finds their wallet address for you. To give a trading card pack instead, press Gift a pack in TCG. It lands unopened in their wallet.
This guide covers both, and what your friend sees on their side.
What can you send to another Blackboard member?
Two things, each with its own flow:
- USDC from your Cash balance, found by nickname or UID.
- Card packs, bought from your TCG balance and delivered as a gift.
Both are final once confirmed. A send or a gift cannot be undone, so check the recipient first.
How do you send crypto to a friend by nickname?
You never copy or paste an address. The app looks up your friend's wallet on the network you pick.
- Open Wallet and press Send, then To a Blackboard user.
- Search their nickname or UID and pick them from the list.
- Choose the network: Arbitrum, Polygon, HyperEVM or Solana. Their wallet address appears.
- Enter the amount and an optional memo.
- Review, tick I have checked the recipient, and press Confirm send.
The review shows what they receive after any network fee. If the app asks for a verification code, enter it to finish. You can also press Send on a member's profile to start with them already picked.
How do you gift a trading card pack?
A gift pack is a real pack, paid from your TCG balance. Your friend opens it themselves.
- Go to TCG → Packs and press Gift a pack.
- Search the recipient by nickname or UID.
- Choose the packs and how many of each. The gift total updates as you go.
- Review, tick I checked the recipient, and confirm.
Each pack type is bought as its own purchase, in order. When all go through, you see Gift sent.
The recipient needs a TCG wallet first. If they have none yet, the app tells you before you pay.

What does your friend see?
A small alert tells them they received a gift and who sent it. Gifts also show in their Feed under Gifts.
In TCG → Gifts, unopened packs are grouped by type. Tapping a pack opens it; it is already paid for. The Received list shows who sent each pack and when.
USDC arrives in their Cash balance on the network you chose.
What if a send or gift goes wrong?
Check before you try again. A repeated send can pay twice.
- If a send says it is unconfirmed, check your balance and history first.
- If a gift stops partway, the app lists which packs went through. Review the rest lets you finish it.
- You cannot send or gift to yourself.
