Gold and Lunar New Year have been inseparable for centuries. Gold symbolizes wealth, permanence, and good fortune—the kind of energy people want as they step into a new year. Red envelopes filled with money are exchanged as blessings between generations.
We wanted to bring that tradition on-chain. So we built a Gold Vending Machine with SquidRouter for the Buy Gold Mini App
How it works
From February 13 to 24, MiniPay users in select markets can visit the Gold Vending Machine—a themed storefront where you can buy digital gold (Tether Gold / XAUt0) in fixed packs ranging from $0.88 to $128(You can always buy more or enter a different manually if you want).
Every purchase triggers a USDT cashback drop directly to your wallet at the end of every day. No claiming pages. Buy gold, get rewarded—everyday.
The cashback rate is a flat 10%, capped at $10 per transaction. So a $10 gold pack nets you $1 back. A $100 pack maxes out the reward at $10.
Each day brings a fresh reward pool. When it's gone, it resets at midnight UTC. We designed it this way on purpose — Lunar New Year is about daily rituals and small moments of good fortune, not a single rush. Come back each day, and there's always something waiting.
The rules
We've designed the campaign to be generous but sustainable:
- Each user can claim one cashback reward per week. You can still buy gold after your first purchase, but the bonus only fires once every seven days.
- There's a daily reward pool in USDT. Once it's gone, it resets at midnight UTC. This creates natural urgency without artificial pressure—the pool is real, and operates on a first come, first served basis.
- The campaign runs for 14 days, from February 13 to February 24, 2026.
- Requirement to hold Gold until end of day (UTC)
Important Note: To keep the campaign fair and spread the love across the full campaign duration, we've set aside a daily reward pool. Once the day's pool is claimed, it refills at midnight UTC. Basically,new pool drops every 24 hours for the full 14 days.
Why Gold and why now
In many Southeast Asian and East Asian communities, Lunar New Year is the single biggest moment of financial intentionality in the year. People gift money, invest in gold, and make decisions about how they want the year to unfold.
Digital gold makes that tradition accessible to anyone with a phone. You don't need a jeweler or a bank. You don't need a minimum investment that prices out younger users. A $0.10 pack is a real entry point — and the cashback sweetens it.
For the diaspora—Vietnamese communities in Australia, Filipino communities in the Middle East, Malaysian, Chinese communities across Africa, and Thai communities in Europe—this is a way to participate in a tradition that doesn't require being physically close to home.
