ResCoin (RC) is Devpool's reward coin. You earn it by showing up, sharing what you know and bringing friends along, and you spend it on AI credits, streak freezes and merch. This guide covers every way to earn coins, the limits that apply, and what your coins can buy.
The short version: 1 ResCoin is worth ₹0.25. You can earn up to 30 RC a day and 250 RC a month, and you get coins only for actions that are approved, verified or done once.
1. Check in every day
This is the easiest way to earn. Open your Streak page once a day and tap Check in.
- +2 RC for each daily check-in
- +5 RC bonus when you reach a 7-day streak
- +15 RC bonus when you reach a 30-day streak
- +40 RC bonus when you reach a 100-day streak
Each streak bonus pays once per streak. If you miss a day the streak resets, so if you know you'll be away, buy a streak freeze (see below).
2. Write a blog
Share a tutorial, a deep dive or a lesson from a project. Head to Write a blog, write your post in Markdown and submit it for review.
- +15 RC when your blog is approved
- +20 RC bonus if your blog is marked as high-performing
Up to 4 blogs a month are rewarded. Posts that teach something real and are easy to read are the ones that get the bonus.
3. Share your interview experience
Just finished an interview? Write up how it went: the rounds, the questions, what you'd do differently. Other developers will learn from it, and you earn coins for it.
- +10 RC when your interview experience is approved
- Up to 3 write-ups a month are rewarded
Browse Interview experiences to see what a good write-up looks like.
4. Share a resource
Found a guide, cheat sheet or tool that helped you? Share it with the community.
- +3 RC for each approved resource
5. Complete your profile
Fill in every section of your profile until it shows 100%.
- +5 RC, paid once
It's a quick win, and a full profile helps recruiters and mentors find you too.
6. Invite your friends
Share your referral link from the Referrals page. Both of you get coins:
- +20 RC for you when your friend verifies their email and stays active for 7 days
- +10 RC for your friend once they verify their email and do their first check-in
Up to 10 referrals a month are rewarded. Joining with a friend's link? Enter their code when you sign up.
7. Climb the leaderboard
The leaderboard ranks everyone by points, which you earn for the same things you already do: checking in, writing blogs, sharing interview debriefs, completing your profile and referring friends. At the end of each month the top of the board wins coins:
| Rank | Prize |
|---|---|
| #1 | 500 RC |
| Top 3 | 250 RC |
| Top 10 | 100 RC |
Points are separate from ResCoins. You can't spend them; they only decide your rank.
8. Become a campus ambassador
Ambassadors bring Devpool to their college and get paid in coins for it:
- +10 RC for each verified student you onboard
- A monthly stipend of 100, 250 or 500 RC, depending on your tier
Learn more and apply on the Ambassadors page.
Earning limits
To keep rewards fair for everyone, a few limits apply:
| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Coins you can earn in a day | 30 RC |
| Coins you can earn in a month | 250 RC |
| Interview experiences rewarded per month | 3 |
| Blogs rewarded per month | 4 |
| Referrals rewarded per month | 10 |
Leaderboard prizes and ambassador payouts are paid separately by the team.
What a month can look like
Say you check in every day for a month and get one blog, one interview experience and one referral approved:
| Activity | RC |
|---|---|
| 30 daily check-ins × 2 | 60 |
| 7-day and 30-day streak bonuses | 20 |
| One approved blog | 15 |
| One approved interview experience | 10 |
| One successful referral | 20 |
| Total | 125 RC |
That's 125 RC (₹31.25) for a few minutes a day, and only half the monthly limit.
What you can spend ResCoins on
Check your balance and history anytime in your Wallet.
- AI credits: 5 RC for each credit, to use on Devpool's AI tools.
- Streak freeze: 100 RC covers one missed day so your streak survives. You can use one a month.
- Merch: in the Marketplace, every 4 RC takes ₹1 off your order. You can cover part of the order or all of it. If an order uses any coins, refunds for it are paid in ResCoins.
With the 125 RC from the example month, you could buy 25 AI credits, or one streak freeze with 25 RC left over, or take ₹31.25 off a merch order.
Good to know: ResCoins stay on Devpool. They can't be withdrawn as cash or transferred to another account.
Quick tips
- Check in first thing. Two coins a day, plus the streak bonuses, adds up fastest.
- Write the post you wish you'd found. Blogs pay the most of any single action, and good ones earn the bonus.
- Write up interviews while they're fresh. Details help readers the most.
- Invite friends who will actually use Devpool. You get your 20 RC once they've been active for a week.
- Finish your profile today. It's 5 RC you can claim in a few minutes.
