Today, Kik is one of the world’s most used chat apps and the fifth most-searched term in the iOS App
Store. The millions of people who use Kik each month are in a unique position to demonstrate how
cryptocurrency economies might form and function in the context of a large, mainstream user base.
Kik will build fundamental value for the new currency by integrating Kin into its chat app. Indeed, Kin will
be Kik’s primary transaction currency, and Kik will be the first service to join the Kin Ecosystem. In the
future, users will be able to earn Kin by providing value to other members of the Kik digital community
through curation, content creation, and commerce. Kik users will be able to spend Kin on products,
services, and other valuable assets offered by merchants, developers, influencers, and other participants.
Kin will sit at the center of a new digital economy inside Kik, driving demand and fundamental value for
the cryptocurrency. Its resulting value will enable the launch of an economic incentive mechanism, the
Kin Rewards Engine, to further grow the ecosystem.
