TikTok (Douyin) Diamonds — virtual gifts currency for LIVE
- Douyin Diamonds are an in-app virtual currency used mainly for LIVE gifting and supported interactive features in Douyin (TikTok China).
- In TikTok’s ecosystem, “Diamonds” are also used to recognize creator popularity and can be earned by creators from Gifts during LIVE (feature rules vary by region/version).
- Douyin (China) and TikTok (global) are separate apps with separate balances—Diamonds/coins are not interchangeable between them.
What Diamonds are used for
- Send virtual gifts to creators during LIVE streams (where gifting is available).
- Support creators and participate in eligible in-app interactions tied to gifting and campaigns (availability varies).
- Creators may receive Diamonds from gifts and, depending on eligibility, exchange them for rewards according to platform rules.
Top-up and redemption basics
- Diamonds are credited to the account used during top-up and are typically non-transferable after crediting.
- Recharge options depend on product format (direct top-up vs code-based), region rules, and account eligibility.
- Before topping up, confirm you’re using the correct app/version: Douyin (TikTok China) vs TikTok (global).
