What GARI / Chingari Has Achieved
They launched a “mining” program to reward both creators and users for engagement: uploading videos, watching, liking, sharing, commenting.
The pool is ~50,000 GARI per day: 5,000 are for daily login bonuses; the rest (45,000) are for engagement activities.
The annual allocation for rewards under this program is ~ US$12 million (or equivalent) or ≈ ₹93 crore.
2. Token Holders / Adoption Metrics
Within months of launch, GARI crossed 2 million token holders.
The Chingari wallet also had significant growth: e.g. 800,000 active wallet users in just five months after integration.
3. Token Burn Mechanism
They have initiated monthly token burns, funded by revenue from sale of Boosts and Badges. The aim is to gradually reduce the circulating supply (or available total supply) of GARI to create scarcity / better tokenomics.
First burn was ~2.6 million GARI (≈ 0.25% of total supply) in May 2023.
4. Monetization for Creators & Users
They introduced subscription plans (daily, weekly, monthly) starting low (e.g. Rs 20) to allow users/creators to increase earnings and withdraw directly, etc.
They’ve distributed GARI tokens as rewards; e.g. 15 million tokens (~US$1.01 million) to users/creators in less than a year through the mining program.

5. Geographic / Ecosystem Expansion
Plans and efforts to expand into Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam), Latin America, Africa.
Partnerships: content partnerships (e.g. with FAB Market), regional content, audio stories, etc.

Future Plans & Intentions
These are what Chingari / GARI has announced or seems to be aiming for, based on available sources:
1. Further Token Burns
They intend to carry out monthly burns until the supply is reduced to ~21 million GARI (or until supply meets a target).
2. Better / More Monetization Tools for Creators
More ways for creators to earn beyond just mining – subscriptions, badges, boosts, etc.
Facilitate easier withdrawals (possibly to bank accounts) for creators and users.
3. Feature Expansion
Video NFT drops, possibly video NFTs for creators, more features around NFTs.
Audio rooms and audio content expansion (e.g. mythological and regional audio stories) through partnerships.
4. Cross‐chain / Technical Scaling / Ecosystem Growth

They plan to make the platform multichain / support multiple blockchains; for example, use of Aptos as a layer1 chain for Web3 operations. This gives more flexibility, possibly lower fees and more scalability.
Improving wallet usage, user base scaling (onboard more users).
5. Global Expansion
Moving into more countries / regions (South East Asia, Latin America, Africa, possibly United States, UAE, Turkey) per earlier statements.
6. Better Tokenomics / Value Stabilization
Apart from burning tokens, they appear to want to generate more utility for GARI so that demand grows: in-app purchases, staking (if implemented), etc.

Considerations / Risks
While not strictly "plans or achievements," for a balanced view it's useful to note what to watch out for:
Success depends on continued user growth / engagement. Incentives (like mining, badges) cost money / tokens, and sustainability is key.
Token burns reduce supply, but unless demand increases, price effects may be limited.
Regulatory environment for crypto & tokens varies by country; expansion into new geographies may face legal / regulatory hurdles.
Competition: Social media + creator economy is crowded, and integrating Web3 features adds complexity.
