About Kin

Kin (KIN) is a decentralized cryptocurrency designed for everyday digital transactions and micropayments across apps, websites, and online services. Created in 2017 by Kik Inc. and originally launched on Ethereum, Kin migrated to the Solana blockchain in 2020, enabling near-instant transactions at minimal cost. It is one of the few cryptocurrencies with regulatory clarity following a mutual settlement with the SEC. Kin operates without a central authority, governed by a global community of stakeholders. Its ecosystem includes Code Inc., a payments platform allowing content creators to monetize work through micropayments as small as a few cents.
