Jakarta, Indonesia Sentinel — Jagat App has announced plans to discontinue its Treasure Hunt feature “Koin Jagat”, following the recent uproar over the damages on public space. The app will replace it with a new initiative called “Jagat Missions,” aimed on improving public spaces.

The decision was made following a meeting between Jagat’s Co-Founder Barry Beagen and Indonesia’s Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi) on Wednesday, January 15.

During the meeting, Barry issued an apology to those affected by the app’s previous feature and expressed gratitude for the guidance provided by Komdigi.

“Following constructive discussions with Komdigi, we have decided to transition from the Coin Hunt format to ‘Jagat Missions’ to encourage users to contribute positively to public spaces and facilities,” Barry said in a statement on Wednesday, as reported by CNN Indonesia.

“With more than one million active users in Indonesia and 200,000 new users joining daily, we believe ‘Jagat Missions’ will enhance the quality of public spaces, especially through the active participation of young people,” he added.

Barry revealed that the transformation from Coin Hunt to Jagat Missions will be completed within the next three days. While he did not elaborate on specific activities included in the missions, the initial phase will reportedly prioritize initiatives to improve public spaces.

“Through Jagat Missions, we aim to motivate users to actively work on improving public spaces. During this period, there will be no coins available for collection on the Jagat app,” he explained.

Public Space Controversies

In a separate statement, Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital Angga Raka Prabowo said the ministry had received numerous reports from the public and government agencies regarding the Coin Hunt feature’s impact on the environment and public facilities across Indonesia.

“As a result, we engaged with Jagat to seek clarification and encourage the development of digital platforms that deliver positive impacts to society,” Angga said.

He emphasized that platforms failing to follow regulations would face strict enforcement. Under Government Regulation No. 71 of 2019 on Electronic System and Transaction Management, the government is obligated to safeguard public interests from disruptions caused by the misuse of electronic information and transactions.

“If any platform developers violate the law, we will not hesitate to take firm action,” he warned. He also urged digital platform developers to create applications that are educational, adhere to societal norms, and comply with Indonesia’s legal framework.

Angga concluded by encouraging Jagat to continue innovating in ways that are productive, educational, and beneficial to society. “Komdigi remains committed to supporting creativity and innovation in digital platform development in Indonesia, as long as they operate within the bounds of existing regulations,” he said.

As Jagat App commit to replace its viral feature ‘Koin Jagat’ treasure hunts, ‘Jagat Missions’ which soon to be released expected to improve public spaces through fun and creative approach by the app.
