Twitter is developing an in-app currency called “Coins” which will allow users to financially support creators on the platform. This new feature was discovered by app researchers Jane Manchun Wong and Nima Owji, who shared screenshots of the feature on Twitter. According to the screenshots, users will be able to purchase Coins and keep them in their balance to support creators who post great content. Wong also noted that Twitter is working on a “Coins” menu item that takes users to the purchasing screen. Owji also mentioned that there is no indication that this in-app currency is related to cryptocurrency.

App researcher Nima Owji had previously indicated that Twitter is developing an in-app currency called “Coins.” However, it is currently uncertain when the platform will launch this feature. In addition, researcher Jane Manchun Wong had previously revealed that the company was working on a feature called “Tweet Awards.” According to an image shared by Wong, users will be able to purchase gifts for a range of one coin to 5,000 coins. It is possible that Twitter will receive a portion of revenue generated from coin purchases.
