Introducing LangX Token

What it is

LangX Token is an in-app point. You earn it by using the app and you spend it inside the app. That is the entire definition.

It is our way of thanking you for being part of this community, and of giving you a reason to come back tomorrow. Every message you send and every sentence you correct is what keeps this place alive — the token is what that adds up to.

Learn to Earn

How do you earn tokens? Just do what you’re already doing: talk to people, and help them get better. Teaching is weighted higher than talking, on purpose.

  • Send a message — 2 tokens each, for up to 100 messages a day and up to 30 from any single partner
  • Correct someone’s sentence — 10 tokens, with no daily cap
  • Get a conversation going — 15 tokens the first time you and a partner have both spoken
  • Keep a daily streak — bonuses of 50, 250, 1,000 and 5,000 tokens at 7, 30, 100 and 365 days
  • Take a share of the daily pool — 10,000 tokens are shared out at the end of every day among the members who were active, in proportion to how active they were

Your share of the pool depends on everyone else’s day as well as your own, and nobody can take more than a twentieth of it. The table above shows who is ahead right now; weekly, monthly, yearly and all-time leaderboards are in the app.

These are the current values. The economy is young, and the numbers can change as we learn how it behaves with real activity.

Using LangX Tokens

Coming back to LangX?

Your balance carries over. Nothing on LangX was ever bought or sold — what looked like a purchase log was really the daily payout being calculated — so every token in your balance was earned, and there’s no reason not to honour it.

Balances are divided by 100 on the way in, and we’d rather say that plainly than let you find it out afterwards. The two economies were never on the same scale: old balances run as high as 2.28 million, while a very active day now is about 700 tokens. Credited one-for-one, the largest balance would sit roughly nine years ahead of anyone new and the all-time table would never move again. Divided, it starts about a month ahead — a real head start, and one someone else can still close.

You also get a welcome-back bonus, and the streak you had is frozen rather than lost: you can spend tokens to bring it back.
