Kin ID

In short Kin ID is the live app where a Kin identity is created. People meet, chat, check in every day and mine $KIN, in 19 languages, for free.

Kin ID is the first Kin product and the home of every Kin identity. It is live on the App Store, Google Play and as an APK for Android, and speaks 19 languages from the first screen.

#Joining

People join in seconds with a sign in they already have. Each account belongs to one person: duplicate and automated accounts are not allowed, and the checks described in Proof of human keep it that way. Joining is free, and every account can be deleted from settings at any time, with no forms and no waiting.

#Meeting real people

Kin ID has groups, rooms and private chats. Rooms have rules, moderators and reporting tools so that they stay safe and kind. Inside chats, people can send each other $KIN, share a "rain" of $KIN with a room, and run small challenges.

#Showing up every day

Kin ID rewards people for showing up:

• Mining sessions. Tap start and a session runs for 8 hours. The speed is shown before it starts and is paid in full when it ends. See Mining and rewards.
• Daily check in and streaks. Checking in every day pays a growing reward (10 to 60 $KIN a day, plus streak bonuses), and mining on days in a row raises mining speed.
• Tasks. Simple tasks, such as watching a short video, following Kin or sharing your invite link, pay $KIN.
• Learn and earn. Short quizzes about Kin, each with a chapter of this whitepaper to read first, pay $KIN when every answer is right.

#Rising together

Friends who invite each other mine faster together (see Invites and teams). Monthly ranks show the top miners, all the way to the crown: King of Kins.

#The Kin crew

Three characters show people around: Green, the host, who welcomes new members and keeps them company; Magenta, the miner, who looks after everything $KIN; and Plush, the champion, who keeps streaks alive and cheers people up the ranks.
