Kin (KIN)

Kin is a distributed ecosystem of digital services for daily life, created by Kik. Kik has been an innovator in the chat space since the first million people signed up for the chat application in 2010. Kik was the first chat application to become a platform in 2011 and the first Western chat platform (rather than Asian) to integrate bots in 2014. Throughout 2015 and 2016, Kik also tested with a form of digital currency on its platform, called Kik Points. As a company, Kik has been seeking a sustainable monetization model that does not compromise user experience or privacy. Rather than using mass display advertising or selling consumer data, Kik adopts a distributed organizational model. Its objective is to foster the development of a digital service ecosystem that is fair and open. Kik prefers to be a member rather than a landlord in this user-first economy. To foster an ecosystem that is open and decentralized and more compelling than its traditional counterpart, Kik must produce a series of new products, services, and systems. Building a decentralized system is a complicated process, and the transition to it must be done in a measured and responsible methodology over time.

Audius (AUDIO)

Audius is a decentralized music-sharing and streaming protocol that facilitates direct transactions between listeners and creators, giving everyone the freedom to distribute, monetize, and stream audio content. The protocol consists of (1) Discovery nodes that index the Audius content ledger and provide an easily query-able interface for retrieving metadata; (2) Content nodes to host content and permission access to content on behalf of artists; (3) Content ledger as a single source of truth for all data accessible within the Audius protocol, anchoring references to content hosted by content nodes.

Polkastarter (POLS)

Polkastarter is a protocol built for cross-chain token pools and auctions, enabling projects to raise capital on a decentralized, permissionless, and interoperable environment based on Polkadot. The platform allows cryptocurrency projects to raise funds by setting up a swap pool based on a fixed purchase rate for tokens. These so-called “Fixed Swap Pools” have many advantages for token sale investors over traditional fundraising models like ICOs, IEOs, and IDOs (Initial DEX Offerings). Fixed Swap Pools will maintain the token price throughout the sale until the initial supply is bought.
