Kik (Kin) refers to the Kin cryptocurrency created by Kik Interactive, the messaging company, as a blockchain-based digital currency for use inside consumer applications. Kin originally launched on a fork of the Stellar network and later migrated to Solana, shipping first-party developer SDKs (JavaScript/Node and Python) under the kinecosystem GitHub organization and a developer program at developer.kin.org. The Kin project is now defunct: the developer surface no longer resolves, every kinecosystem repository is archived, the published SDKs are deprecated, and Kik itself was acquired by MediaLab AI Inc. This profile was surfaced as a portfolio company of Pantera Capital and is retained as a historical record of a wound-down crypto developer surface.
Kik (Kin) is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Crypto, Cryptocurrency, Blockchain, and SDK.
