Since I <a href="https://steemit.com/steem/@alexpmorris/introducing-sharebits-cross-chain-social-gifting-and-micro-tasking-platform">officially introduced ShareBits a few weeks back</a>, I've been asked multiple times if **ShareBits** also supports Steem-Engine, or more specifically...

# Can ShareBits be used for gifting tokens created on SteemEngine?!
#
Well, the answer is a resounding... **YES!** 

**ShareBits** does indeed support Steem-Engine's "Steem Smart Contract" tokens...

And that includes Steem-Engine's <a href="https://steemit.com/steem-engine/@aggroed/now-trading-eos-on-steem-engine-com-get-your-eos-token-listed-too">new EOS-based tokens</a> as well!

For those not yet familiar with ShareBits, you may want to read up on it here first. You still have a chance to claim a complimentary **UPVOTE** as well!

>SHAREBITS, in conjunction with <a href="https://steemit.com/steem/@alexpmorris/whalevault-secure-graphene-cross-chain-key-store-extension">WhaleVault</a>, is the first cross-chain, graphene-centric Social Gifting and Micro-Tasking Platform that empowers you to safely, securely, and seamlessly send tokenized gifts to users over more than TWO DOZEN Social Media Platforms, including nearly a dozen graphene-based blockchains!

I expect most STEEM users are already familiar with Steem-Engine Tokens.  For those who are not, you can learn more about them here...

>@yabapmatt and I [@aggroed], in partnership with @harpagon, are launching a platform and accompanying website called Steem Engine (https://steem-engine.com) with an initial focus of allowing the creation of custom tokens on the Steem Blockchain.

# How does it work?!
#
Steem-Engine tokens use the Steem Smart Contracts software built by @harpagon, which is a smart contract enabled **sidechain platform** built on top of the Steem blockchain.  As such, it works a bit differently than you might expect when dealing directly with most other graphene chains.  

After this demonstration, I believe you should have both a better understanding of how Steem Smart Contracts (SSCs) work, as well as how **ShareBits** can facilitate your ability to seamlessly gift them to others not only on STEEM, but over dozens of other social platforms as well!

Once you've successfully logged into **ShareBits** with your STEEM account (or another chain linked to your STEEM account) via <a href="https://steemit.com/steem/@alexpmorris/whalevault-secure-graphene-cross-chain-key-store-extension">WhaleVault</a>, head on over to the "SHARE GIFT" panel.  

After that, it should be as simple as selecting "Steem" as the primary gifting chain, and within a few moments you should automagically see all of your STEEM and Steem-Engine token balances appear!

Note that all Steem-Engine tokens in **ShareBits** end with **.ssc**, indicating they are "**Steem Smart Contract**" tokens.

Next, if you would like to explicitly set the recipient(s) of this gift to 3 STEEM users, you can set "To Service" to "Steem" as well, and fill in the "To User(s)" field as well.  If you're directing this gift to a specific person privately, or simply offering a gift on a first-come first-serve basis, simply leave these fields blank.

In the following example, I would be gifting up to 3 STEEM users `25 BTCMYK.ssc` *(the .ssc indicating it is a Steem-Engine token)*.  The gift would expire in 3 days, or 72 hours from the time the giftlink is generated upon clicking **CREATE GIFT LINK!**

# Gifting via Discord
#
Here's a quick example of how I gifted some Steem-Engine tokens to @erodedthoughts via Discord.  Note that any Discord Server that has invited **WhaleBoT** can also gift Steem-Engine tokens directly from Discord the same way!

![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXpvJJN6tV1a3LEUvPvhXMzWPks8r9HJGnWTFZ3MqmDJz/image.png)

A few moments later, **WhaleBoT** PM'd both me and @erodedthoughts with the details...

![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmU7vVZWrJfLyYvBLsV8cmZjWbkJ4Mft4Gz61F6jGEGzBF/image.png)

SHOUT OUT to @erodedthoughts, who kindly helped make this demonstration possible by gifting me these Steem-Engine tokens in the first place! 😄


# My gifts were claimed, now what?!
#
Once your gifts have been claimed, you can payout claims from the "CLAIM STATUS" panel via `actions -> Payout`.  While the ShareBits payout process is effectively the same, because SSCs are a Side-Chain of STEEM, the validation flow is *slightly* different.  That's because while transactions are signed to the STEEM blockchain by means of a **custom_json** operation, STEEM is unable to verify that the transaction is actually valid for the Steem-Engine / ssc-mainnet1 **sidechain**.

As such, the initial confirmation you receive will be for the STEEM transaction.  Within a minute or so, **ShareBits** will verify that the transaction is irreversible on both chains, and mark the claim as **DONE**.  If the transaction fails for some reason, you will also be provided feedback to that effect, and the claim will be marked as **rejected**.  If the rejection is a temporary issue *(ie. insufficient balances before payout)*, you can always update the status back to pending via `actions -> UpdateTx` and "reset" the claim, at which point you can simply try repeating the payout process.

The following is an example of a **failed transaction**, with not only an invalid recipient, but also insufficient funds to complete the Steem-Engine token transfer...

Next, let's take a look at an SSC-based claim that was successfully "paid out"...

![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmT6mL5zx3LrgdK8UJ1B5ke4KoPKr2yp3fyhgtMLJYj8Es/image.png)

Once the claim status is updated to **done**, you can be assured the blocks, and thus the transfer(s), are now **irreversible**.  The initial STEEM transaction *TxID* and *TxBlock* is shown, while *status_data* holds additional metadata regarding the Steem-Engine sidechain part of the transaction.  In this case, the ssc block would be `204048`.  If multiple claims were paid out simultaneously, there may be an additional TxID offset involved (ie. TxID-0 or TxID-1).  If applicable, that offset will also appear under *status_data*.

Now, with all the data provided, let's see if we can directly view the transaction ourselves through the Steem-Engine block explorer:

And there ya go, that's pretty much all there is to it!  😃
