The Kin Developer Programs have been a great way to set developers up for success in the Kin Ecosystem. Since the launch of the first program last July, the programs and gaming challenge combined have seen 55 unique projects integrate Kin and launch to app stores. Today, 49 are still live and working to grow the ecosystem. Not without a few bumps in the road, but we are extremely happy that each project chose Kin and continues to help us improve the Kin toolset.

On behalf of the Kin team, I would like to thank all the development teams for their hard work and continued efforts to grow the Kin Ecosystem. Each project that works with the Kin SDK and successfully goes live is a huge achievement.

This is the final wrap up for the second Kin Developer Program and I look forward to announcing the next one in the coming months. I’ve introduced 11 in my previous posts (links below) and check out the below 13.
