# 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](/docs/welcome/readme.md) 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**](/docs/token/distibution.md) — the awards, the daily caps and the shared daily pool.
* [**Spending tokens**](/docs/token/utility.md) — a streak freeze, a filled-in day, and cosmetic frames, titles and sticker packs. That is the complete list.
* [**Daily tokens**](/docs/learn-2-earn/daily-tokens.md) — 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](/docs/library/coming-back.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
**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.
