Giggles combines a short-video feed with prediction-market mechanics that allow users to invest "aura points" on content they believe will become viral and earn rewards if it does. The project began in 2023 after a prank landing page about a TikTok ban attracted about 100,000 visits in a single day, prompting founder Justin Jin to build a real product. Giggles reports a waitlist of approximately 450,000 users and aims to scale that audience. The team plans to transition aura points into real cryptocurrency as the app grows. Media coverage describes the product as high-risk and entertainment-first and notes it competes with other prediction and crypto-social platforms such as Kalshi. No revenue or other financial operating metrics were disclosed in the articles.
