Kik is a messaging app that was founded in 2009 by a small but passionate group of University of Waterloo students. Today, it has millions of users and is focused on being the best place to have a meaningful conversation with someone new. To stay true to that mission, Kik launched Kin – a cryptocurrency that powers a digital economy inside of Kik. It is now one of the most used cryptocurrencies in the world.
