Kik announced the launch of its Kin Marketplace Beta, enabling a limited number of users to earn Kin tokens by completing quizzes, tutorials, and answering polls. Earned tokens can be spent on premium Kik app themes. The marketplace will feature the first transaction on Kin's blockchain. Kik also rolled out free customization tools in response to user feedback. Kin operates on its own blockchain, which it forked from Stellar earlier in the year to enable zero-fee transactions. The move represents an effort to integrate cryptocurrency into products users already use daily.
