Why Traditional Link Pages Don't Work for Crypto

If you're in crypto, you've probably tried using Linktree or a similar link-in-bio tool. And you've probably run into the same frustrations everyone else has:

  • No wallet support. You end up pasting wallet addresses in your bio or creating separate links for each chain.
  • No QR codes. Someone wants to send you crypto at a conference? Good luck getting them to copy a 42-character address from their phone.
  • No referral organization. Your exchange referral codes are buried somewhere in your notes app.

Linktree was built for influencers linking to their YouTube and TikTok. It wasn't built for people who need to share Ethereum addresses, Bitcoin wallets, and Solana referral links.

That's why we built GIB.

What GIB Does That Linktree Can't

1. Wallet Addresses with QR Codes

Add your crypto wallet addresses and GIB automatically generates QR codes for each one. Visitors can scan and send funds instantly. Learn more about why QR codes matter for crypto wallets.

Free users get 2 wallet slots for Ethereum and Solana.

Pro users get unlimited wallets across 14+ chains: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Tron, Monero, and USDC.

No more:

  • "DM me for my wallet"
  • Pasting addresses in your bio
  • Creating separate links for each chain

  • Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, Bybit
  • Ledger, Trezor
  • DeFi apps like Uniswap, Aave
  • Any platform with a referral program

Your audience gets a clean list. You get credit for every signup.

3. Funding Goals (Pro)

Who Should Use GIB vs Linktree?

Use Linktree if:

  • You're a traditional content creator (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram)

Use GIB if:

  • You want a free starting point with room to grow
  • You want funding goals and referral organization (Pro)

FAQ

Can I import my existing Linktree links to GIB?

Not automatically, but setup takes under 5 minutes. Most users find adding their links fresh is faster than dealing with imports anyway.

Does GIB work on mobile?

Yes. Your gib.page looks great on mobile, and the QR codes are designed for mobile scanning.

What can I do on the free plan?

Add 2 wallet addresses (ETH and SOL) with auto-generated QR codes, 1 social link, and basic page view analytics. It's a solid starting point.

What chains does GIB support?

14+ chains including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Tron, Monero, and USDC. Pro unlocks all chains.

How does GIB make money?

Through our Pro plan at $9/month. The free tier is genuinely free with no catches - we just limit the number of wallets and features.

The Bottom Line

Linktree is a good tool. But it's not built for crypto.

If you're sharing wallet addresses and need QR codes, GIB's free plan already beats Linktree. If you want referral links, funding goals, and full customization, Pro is $9/month.
