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 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.
