How Chingari Became India's Number One Social App on Google Play

Now, Chingari is well-poised to take advantage of its growing user base and rising popularity by launching its distributed ledger technology and cryptocurrency in October. Chingari has created its own digital token called $GARI. The cryptocurrency launch and its pole position on Google Play should continue to help the app to grow in size in terms of users.

Venture capitalists are optimistic about Chingari’s long-term prospects as the latter successfully raised $6 million in funding through $GARI’s Initial Dex Offering on the SolRazr platform.

$GARI is built on the Solana blockchain and has the advantage of fast, low-cost transaction speeds. Chingari has created opportunities for influencers and other creators to monetize content through a channel that allows the sale of physical merchandise and NFTs.
