The Kin Foundation is announcing the general availability of Kinetic, Kin’s flagship Solana-based middleware technology that allows any Web, mobile, or no-code developer to easily integrate cryptocurrency use cases into apps to create Web3 experiences.

Kool Games, the esteemed mobile game studio that has collaborated with high-powered clients such as Voodoo and Green Panda Games, has announced that their upcoming action RPG title GodSlayer will allow players to earn, buy, and spend Kin to supercharge their gaming experience.

It has been an exceptional year for the Kin Ecosystem, with numerous achievements and developments. This includes the introduction of Kinetic, the launch of a new brand identity, the formation of new partnerships, the proposal of the Kin Rewards Engine KRE 4.0, the modernization of data and analytics, and Kin's continued leadership in the Solana ecosystem. These exciting developments have solidified Kin as a leader in Web3 and sets the stage for continued success in 2023 and beyond.

Several players in the blockchain industry are working towards building a decentralized, open economy based on cryptocurrency. Kin augments this vision by allowing every participant to benefit from the opportunities it offers without being taken advantage of. This vision, known as web3, aims to solve the problems of the extractive big data economy, where large tech firms exploit personal data from consumers, app developers and content creators, leaving them unable to maximize monetizing their work. However, there are several challenges that need to be overcome in order to realize the full potential of web3.

The Kin Foundation is delighted to announce that the No-Code Hackathon was a huge success. 220 entries were received from 29 different countries. The panel of judges had a very difficult time selecting the winners due to the great ideas and use cases that were presented. Below are the five winners and their prizes.

In December 2020, Kin migrated to the Solana blockchain where it lives today. This article contains important updates about legacy Trust Wallet accounts, MyKinWallet and The ERC-20 Swap.
