Why a reward
Networks grow because people show up, invite their friends and make them worth being part of. In most networks, that value ends up with the company alone. $KIN is how Kin shares it: most of the supply goes to the people who build the network, under rules that are written down and enforced in code.
How $KIN is earned
- Mining: an 8 hour session at a known speed, paid when it ends.
- Rewards: daily check ins, streaks, tasks, welcome and invite rewards.
- Community: challenges, rain and community programs.
What $KIN is for
Today, inside Kin ID
- Sending $KIN to friends by username.
- Sharing $KIN with a whole room as rain.
- Running challenges, where the first members to complete them share a prize.
Planned
- Tipping and paying real people, in Kin ID and beyond.
- Spending $KIN across future Kin products.
- Taking part in community programs funded from the Mining and rewards share.
$KIN does not buy votes. Community decisions planned for 2028 count one verified person as one vote, however much $KIN they hold (see Community and governance).
Token details (planned)
| Standard | BEP-20 on BNB Smart Chain |
| Total supply | 1,500,000,000, created once at launch, with no way to create more |
| Shares | Each share held in its own published address or contract |
| Team share | Locked for five years in a time lock contract |

Important $KIN is a community reward, not an investment, a security or a promise of value. Nobody can promise what it will be worth.
