Everyone has a story to tell to our friends, acquaintances and even to strangers. Audio feature helps you in narrating the experiences with other like-minded people and also lets you to join any interesting conversation at your convenience be it while driving or on a run. Chingari Audio Rooms was introduced enabling users to create voice based rooms and connect with their followers and other Chingari users. Similarly Live Rooms was launched with live streaming video feature.

We launched Audio Rooms and Live Rooms to make interaction between fans/followers with their favorite content creators in a fresh and engaging way, allowing them to have the option to entirely customize their experience. Another exciting feature in the Chingari Rooms is virtual gifting that lets the audience support their creators.

As a leading web3 organization, Chingari has a vision to create a platform where every user is able to pursue their passions, control their creations and monetize them. We want content creators to be able to make a living regardless of the size of their audiences.

Taking a step forward, we are enabling gift redemption into GARI tokens that can be withdrawn in its entirety. Gifts received during Audio Rooms and Live Rooms are no longer just symbolic of love and appreciation from followers; they can now also be redeemed into GARI Tokens to generate income for content creators.

Chingari offers a wide range of monetization options for content creators, be it through GARI mining, Creator Cuts (video-NFT marketplace) or recently launched subscriptions plans which double your GARI earnings. Chingari believes in putting control in the hands of creators so they can share or sell their content as they deemed fit.
