Kin Developer Program Apps — Live in Week One
The Kin Developer Program participants are off the races! Last week, 32 apps were given the opportunity to proceed in the program — more than half of which received the green light to move immediately to production. Some were asked to make minor changes to their integrations, and teams are expected to submit updated demos soon and go live to the public. In order to reach the first of the Kin Developer Program’s three milestones, apps must go live with a Kin integration on the App Store or Google Play by Nov. 14.
This week, five apps went live, and we’re excited to say that the second iOS Kin-powered experience is the result of the Kin Developer Program! These teams have received the first incentive payout of $15,000 USD and 50M KIN.
Now that these apps are live, they have until Oct. 15, 2019 to reach the program’s remaining milestones. Apps must have 10,000 monthly active wallets for at least two months in the coming year to reach the second milestones, and 50,000 monthly active wallets for at least two months in the coming year to reach the third.
Check out the first live integrations from the Kin Developer Program, available for download now:
