Kin is playing a significant role in this transition to ‘Web 3.0’. In this evolution of the web, we will see a shift away from centralized models of value accrual to a more equitable distribution where the users and communities that make up a platform share in its success. In a 2020 Sector Review Report by Messari, Kin was ranked as the top-performing Web 3.0 cryptocurrency, beating out the year-over-year performance of a number of popular projects. You can learn more about Kin’s inclusion in the report in this month’s newsletter.
Building a more fair digital world is one of the core tenets of Kin’s vision, and we are already seeing it come to life. To highlight this, we’ve begun to showcase the apps in the Kin Ecosystem and how they use Kin to monetize, reward their users, and improve the in-app experience. This month we published spotlights on Perfect365 and PeerBet, two very different apps that approach integrations in different ways — each finding success in their own right. To find out more about these apps and how they use Kin, continue reading below.
The promise of a fairer internet has also spurred greater interest in Kin, becoming one of the fastest-growing Finance & Business communities on Reddit, and resulting in a number of new developers pitching in to build and grow the ecosystem. The Kin Foundation is actively engaging with power-contributors in the community to identify ways to synergize and provide support for their initiatives. We invite everyone who wishes to contribute to check out these initiatives and join in their efforts or create their own.
Kin is a working product, solving a real problem. In order to achieve mass adoption, building something that people actually want and use has always been the number one priority of the Kin Community. That said, in order for this vision to reach a wider audience, the technology behind the product also needs to be cutting-edge, and able to scale. To that end, Kin has recently migrated to the Solana blockchain, enabling a new level of speed and capacity previously thought unattainable. With over 99% of the circulating supply from the Kin blockchain already migrated, the project is on the verge of completing the process, with apps working as intended and exchanges due to reopen with support for the newest version of Kin. To learn more about the latest status of the migration to Solana, you can find an update in this newsletter below.
Finally, this month we announced our first AMA with Alim Khamisa, Executive Director of the Kin Foundation. If you have questions that you would like to ask Alim, make sure to check out the AMA and post them by February 21st. The link can be found below.

Monetizing with Kin: App Highlights

This month we launched a new content series, called Monetizing with Kin. This series showcases the way that different apps in the Kin Ecosystem have been able to generate revenue in a fundamentally new way using the Kin cryptocurrency. The first in this series shines a spotlight on Perfect365, an augmented reality beauty platform that uses Kin to increase retention and stickiness, while also allowing users to be rewarded for their time and engagement.

PeerBet is an independent social wager app created from the ground up to be used with the Kin cryptocurrency. As the exclusive mode of value exchange, the app simply would not work without Kin. Allowing users to earn something real by challenging friends, referring new users, and suggesting topics to wager on, PeerBet has been able to successfully generate meaningful revenue by rewarding their community, rather than mining and selling their data.

How it works
This service requires no account or registration in any form, your Peercoin address is your account and txid of the bet is your receipt. Users place their bets by sending Peercoins to appropriate address. Each address now represents a pot. Among three pots per game only one can win as bets are for the regular time soccer game only (90 minutes + extra time). Soccer game can end with: home win, guest win or draw. The house (Peerbet) takes the Peercoins from both losing pots, deducts the 5% house fee and distributes the resulting balance proportionally to input to all the bettors in the winning pool. Users from the winning pot can expect the winning to be distributed within 16h after the regular time of the game has ended. Payment will be sent to the address of the largest input of the bet transaction. Bets are accepted as long as they are sent before the game starts. Bets that come too late into the game will be returned to sender after house deducts 1.01 Peercoin fee. There is no minimum or maximum bet size.
Terms of Service
Use this service at your own risk. The Peerbet team does everything possible to ensure bets being paid out properly. Peerbet cannot be held responsible for payment issues. The games are parsed from the official UEFA web page, but it's the user's responsibility to double check the correctness of the game listing before placing a bet. Profits are used to fund Peercoin application development.
