What are coins used for?

The in-app currency

Coins are the currency inside Linga Chat, stored in your wallet. Their main use is sending virtual gifts from the Gift store — a fun, friendly way to thank a partner or celebrate a moment. Coins keep the community's little gestures simple: pick a gift, spend a few coins, and it arrives in the chat instantly.

What coins do

• Send virtual gifts to language partners and friends.
• Take part in the community, with gifts you send counting toward the Gift leaderboard.
• Unlock extras that add a little fun to the experience.

Getting coins

You can earn coins through everyday activity like claiming the daily bonus for opening the app, staying active and building a streak, and you can top up your wallet if you want more to spend on gifts. There is no need to buy anything to use Linga Chat — coins are for the extra, playful moments, while matching, chatting with instant translation and joining live rooms are all part of the free-to-start experience. Think of them as a way to add warmth and personality to your conversations rather than something you have to manage, and spend them only when you feel like brightening someone's day. Report, block and moderation tools keep every interaction respectful, so gifting with coins always stays friendly.
