# Social Tipping

## What is Social Tipping?

Because DeSo is money-native, it can tie tipping with content in ways that no other social network can.\
\
On DeSo, the core mechanic introduced is called "**diamonds**," and it functions as a like, only it allows users to give variable amounts of money to content.

In the screenshot above, a single diamond is a fraction of a penny while a six-diamond tip is \~$53.&#x20;

All of this is instant, and the receiver of the tip immediately gets $DESO in their wallet for their content. Many users already earn thousands of dollars a week off of this feature alone, and as DeSo scales, the economics will only get better.

Just to do some math, imagine a post with 1 million likes gets 100,000 diamonds, worth on average ten cents each.

That's $100,000 in pure cash from *just* the diamonds!

Moreover, users typically get a higher ratio of likes to diamonds, but we wanted to be conservative in our calculations.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.deso.org/~/changes/fDLjGJdJathPNuf23Eol/deso-features/social-tipping.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
