JSR is a Web3 gaming project that introduces a "chant-to-earn" model designed to onboard users from India into the decentralized ecosystem. The project combines traditional Indian chanting practices with play-to-earn (P2E) mechanics, meme culture, and decentralized finance, operating primarily through a game on the Telegram messaging platform. [1] [2]
The core mission of the JSR project is to make Web3 technologies more accessible and culturally relevant to the Indian market, particularly targeting the Gen Z demographic. The project identifies a gap in the Indian gaming landscape for high-quality, immersive social games with cultural resonance, similar to the popularity of titles like Ludo and Teen Patti. It aims to bridge the divide between the growing awareness of crypto assets among young Indians and the technical barriers often associated with acquiring and using them. [3] The central concept is to gamify the spiritual practice of chanting, specifically the mantra "Jai Shri Ram," transforming it into a simple, tap-based mobile game. This "Chant-to-Earn" model rewards users for their in-game activity, seeking to promote the mental and spiritual benefits of chanting while providing tangible incentives. [4] [2]
JSR positions itself as a community-powered "meme revolution" for the Indian market, leveraging the country's large base of digital payment users. A key part of its strategy is the integration of India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI), a widely adopted system with over 350 million users, to create a familiar and straightforward fiat on-ramp for in-game purchases. The project's governance is structured as a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), allowing holders of its native token to participate in key decisions. The project began establishing its social media presence in October 2024, with subsequent announcements detailing its game features and community initiatives. [1] [3]
The primary product of the JSR project is a Telegram-based game titled the "Chant-to-Earn Game." This game operates as a Telegram Mini App, accessible through a bot interface (@jaisriram_io_bot
). This architecture eliminates the need for users to download a separate application from traditional app stores like the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, simplifying discoverability and user access. The gameplay is designed to be straightforward, centered on simple tap-based activities that simulate the act of chanting. Through this interface, users can perform in-game actions, earn rewards, track their progress on leaderboards, and interact with the project's ecosystem. [4] [2] [3]
The JSR platform incorporates several features designed to engage users and facilitate participation in its ecosystem.
The JSR ecosystem is built around a dual-token model and is supported by several digital platforms for gameplay and community interaction. The economic structure consists of two distinct assets: the primary $JSR token and the in-game CHANT coin.
The ecosystem's digital footprint includes its official website for general information, its X (formerly Twitter) account for announcements, and a large Telegram community group for user engagement. As of early 2025, the project's Telegram community had over 65,000 members. The project also utilizes platforms like Zealy to host community engagement campaigns and contests. [5] [2]
The JSR platform and its native token are designed to serve several functions within its ecosystem.
These use cases are intended to create a comprehensive and engaging experience for users. [1] [3]
The technical architecture of JSR is described as a "Telegram-native gaming layer." The primary user interface and point of access is a Telegram Mini App, which operates through the messaging application's bot functionality. This approach simplifies user acquisition by avoiding the need for downloads from conventional mobile app stores, thereby reducing friction for new users. While the specific blockchain network on which the $JSR token and its smart contracts are deployed is not explicitly stated, the project documentation notes that users can purchase $JSR tokens by swapping assets such as USDT, SOL, or BNB. This suggests potential integration with or operation on EVM-compatible chains like BNB Chain or the Solana ecosystem. [3] [1]
The native token of the JSR ecosystem is $JSR. It has a total supply of 1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion) tokens. The tokenomics are designed to support community growth, project development, and ecosystem liquidity. [1]
The total supply of $JSR is allocated across several categories to ensure balanced distribution for different aspects of the project.
This allocation structure was outlined in the project's official documentation. [1]
The $JSR token is designed with multiple utilities to drive demand and integrate it into the project's core functions.
These utilities are central to the token's role within the JSR ecosystem. [1] [3]
JSR employs a DAO governance model, which empowers its community of $JSR token holders to influence the project's direction. Through this model, token holders can collectively vote on key proposals. The primary example cited for this governance function is the ability to approve "upcoming token swap deals." These deals allow the JSR community to gain access to other projects' tokens at pre-listing or preferential prices, with the DAO's vote serving as the mechanism for unlocking these opportunities. This structure is intended to foster a sense of ownership and active participation among community members. [1]
The core team behind the JSR project includes Sadanand VGK (Founder), Krishna Bala (Co-founder), Sherri Cuono (Head of Gaming Ecosystem), and William Volk (Executive Producer). The project's tokenomics allocate 7% of the total $JSR supply to "Core Contributors," a category that includes the team and its advisors. [1] [3]
The project has utilized the Zealy platform to host community engagement campaigns, such as its referral contest in December 2024. While the integration with India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) is a critical component of its strategy, UPI is a public payment infrastructure rather than a formal corporate partner. No other official partnerships have been announced. [2] [3]
