The feature, which appears to be an extension of Twitter’s existing tipping feature, has recently been spotted by researchers. The screenshots show a ‘Coins’ tab in the same section where users can keep track of their tips. And it doesn’t stop there, Wong also spotted an ‘Awards’ feature, where users would be able to buy in-app gifts for others using coins.
However, it’s unclear exactly what Twitter’s plans are for these coins or when the feature will be launched. The company has not yet responded to requests for comment. But the screenshots suggest that Twitter is at least considering featuring coins prominently in its app, as both Wong and Owji spotted it in the main sidebar.
