🪙LangX Token

What the LangX Token is, how you earn it, what you can spend it on, and what it deliberately is not.

An in-app point

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 exists for one reason: language learning works when you keep showing up, and a number that goes up is a good reason to show up. Every message you send and every sentence you correct is what keeps LangX alive as a community — the token is what that adds up to.

What it is not

This matters more than the wording, so it is worth stating without hedging:

• Not transferable. It cannot be sent to another member.

• Not purchasable. There is no way to buy tokens, with money or anything else.

• Not withdrawable. It does not leave the app.

• Not tradable, not staked, not listed. There is no exchange, no market and no marketplace, and none is planned.

• Not on a blockchain. There is no chain, no contract and no wallet address.

• It cannot unlock a paid plan. Those are subscriptions; tokens buy none of them.

That last one is deliberate rather than incidental. The moment tokens could buy a paid feature, farming tokens would become a substitute for subscribing — and the subscription is what pays for the app.

Earning and spending

• How tokens are earned — the awards, the daily caps and the shared daily pool.

• Spending tokens — a streak freeze, a filled-in day, and cosmetic frames, titles and sticker packs. That is the complete list.

• Daily tokens — how the pool is worked out and when it lands.

Coming back from an older version of LangX?

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

Balances are divided by 100 on the way in, and a welcome-back bonus of 250 tokens is added on top. Better to 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 leaderboard would never move again. Divided, it starts about a month ahead — a real head start, and one someone else can still close.

The streak you had is frozen rather than lost: you can spend tokens to bring it back. How to sign back in is in Coming Back From the Old App.

On the earlier on-chain plan. An older version of this litepaper described wallets, staking, trading, NFTs and an on-chain distribution layer. None of it was built and none of it is planned. Those pages have been taken down; their old addresses lead here.
