Chingari, the world’s fastest-growing on-chain social app, unveils a $12 million annual GARI Mining program to empower creators

It’s been over a while since we last covered the video-sharing app Chingari. In January, Chingari launched its $GARI token on six major exchanges, becoming the first-ever blockchain-based firm to do this!

The Chingari app, which is available on iOS and Android, allows users to create, watch, and share short clips and videos (similar to Tiktok) and rewards them with their native $GARI token. Since our last coverage, the Chingari team has been busy working on a new NFT project.

Fast forward six months later, Chingari today announces a $12 million annual GARI Mining program to empower 40 million monthly average users (MAU), becoming the first social app in the world to offer cryptos to its creators. s part of this Create-2-Earn, Watch-2-Earn and Engage-2-earn program, creators and users on the Chingari platform can earn GARI tokens for doing in-app activities such as uploading, liking, sharing, and commenting on videos

As part of the program, the GARI tokens will be distributed to the creators from a daily pool of 50,000 tokens, out of which 5,000 tokens will be set aside for the daily login bonus. The remaining 45,000 GARI will be rewarded to the users/creators for enjoying in-app activities including watching, liking, and sharing videos on the app.

Moreover, the earnings can be further increased by using GARI Badges which are the NFTs a user/creator can purchase in the Chingari app to multiply their daily GARI earnings up to 10x, depending on the badge level. There are 5 Badge levels including Basic, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond that offer 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x and 10x multipliers respectively.

Speaking at the launch of the GARI Mining Program Mr Sumit Ghosh, Co-founder & CEO, Chingari and GARI token said, “It gives us immense pleasure to announce the GARI Mining program. We promised to democratize the creator economy when we launched Chingari a few years back and the GARI Mining is at the vanguard of that process. This program will ensure a level playing field for big and humble creators. Now, creators and users on the app can earn GARI tokens which can be traded on exchanges for money and creators will not be at the mercy of brand collaborations as their only source of income. The program will offer $ 12 million to the creators and users annually.”
