Kin Ecosystem is a technology company focused on developing a blockchain-based platform. Founded in 2017 by Kik Interactive, it aims to create an environment where users can earn and spend a cryptocurrency called Kin (KIN) across various digital services and applications. The ecosystem operates on blockchain technology, initially built on Ethereum and later integrated with Stellar, facilitating efficient microtransactions.

The Kin token serves as a utility token within the ecosystem, available in both ERC-20 and Stellar formats. Users can earn Kin through contributions to the Kik Messenger app, which is closely integrated with the ecosystem. Kin Ecosystem also offers developer tools to help app developers and content creators incorporate Kin into their applications. Headquartered in Kitchener, Ontario, with an office in Tel Aviv, Kin Ecosystem is committed to fostering a community-driven platform, having transitioned to full decentralization in July 2023.
