What is a $GARI token?

The token, as per the company, will be built in partnership with the Solana blockchain.
Social tokens are digital assets backed by an individual, brand or community. “They allow creators to receive more equitable pay and forge deeper relationships within audiences,” the company said.
“We introduce GARI as a social token for the community of Chingari creators that will give them governance authority over the future platform developments through the DAO and create a circular economy,” the video application further elaborated.
GARI has been capped to 1 billion in total supply and has an unlock structure to support 200 to 300 million in circulating supply at the end of the first year.
“Our mission is to institutionalise the space, and promote the growth and advancement of the underlying ecosystem and technology behind digital assets and blockchain,” said Sumit Ghosh, founder, chief executive officer and chairman, Chingari.
The company plans to introduce cryptocurrency to daily content creators as well as content consumers.
