Chingari (GARI) is one of the largest short video-sharing platforms in India. Launched in October 2021, Chingari has witnessed an impressive rise in fans and users. It is backed by well-known cryptocurrency venture capitalists, including Alameda Research and Republic Capital. A little over a year after its launch, the platform introduced its own crypto token GARI. Chingari's token became the first cryptocurrency to be listed on six leading exchanges at once. Later on, other leading exchanges also listed the token. Based on the Solana platform, its main purpose is to incentivize users to create unique content while keeping viewers engaged through transparent features, exclusive content, and direct participation in platform activities within a decentralized system.

What are GARI’s key features and how does it work?

Chingari (GARI) integrates its own token with its platform to promote Web3 social networks. The token is designed to allow users to create their own commercial space, which includes physical goods, the development of NFTs, and the ability for fans to financially support their favorite content creators directly on the platform.  The GARI can be used to connect with and make transactions between counterparties, take part in governance, drive platform engagement, and attract even more users to the platform. There are three ways to earn GARI tokens on the Chingari platform. Individuals who use the Chingari platform can earn by playing games available in the app and watching posted videos. There is also a reward given for posting comments on videos and liking content. Users will receive GARI tokens. Creators simply need to convert their videos on the platform to NFT and earn money from it. 

What makes Chingari noteworthy?

Although this video-sharing app is still based and used primarily in South Asia, its popularity among users is at a very high level. Dubbed "India's TikTok", Chingari is one of the most downloaded apps on the Google App Store in India and the most popular social media app in the country, ahead of rivals Tiktok, Youtube, and Instagram.

This token has good liquidity because the Chingari platform had a huge audience even before developing a blockchain project. Moreover, the token’s listing on India's leading cryptocurrency exchange CoinDCX significantly increased access to the token, which further boosted its liquidity.

What can GARI be used for?

The Chingari blockchain platform allows users to receive tokens for creating or viewing content. The creators developed this idea from play-to-earn games and have applied it to social media.

Besides being able to trade the Chingari (GARI) token and use it for long-term investing, holders can use it for other purposes, such as using it for payment of goods and services. Indeed, the creators hope that this cryptocurrency will gain widespread application in different industries and become the most used cryptocurrency in India.
