Currently, users can earn JioCoins primarily through the JioSphere browser app. Here's a step-by-step guide:

As the program evolves, Jio is expected to expand the JioCoins reward system to other popular apps like MyJio, JioCinema, and JioMart, providing users with more opportunities to earn and redeem tokens through diverse activities.
