KRE Checklist – Kin Developer Docs

The Kin Rewards Engine rewards developers for creating awesome experiences that utilize Kin. In order to maintain a fair playing field amongst Kin developers and a safe experience for users, applications must satisfy these requirements to be eligible for rewards from the KRE, as well as our Developer Terms and Terms of Use.

#User Payments

Transactions that involve a user spending Kin in an app must meet the following requirements:

Users are aware of items/services they are spending Kin on.
Users are aware of the cost of each item/ service.

Users voluntarily initiate the spend transaction by performing an action such as clicking a button.

No transaction occurs without authorisation from the user to spend their Kin.

Transactions greater than 100 Kin have a confirmation prompt before the spend transaction occurs.

The Kin icon is displayed in the UI to the extent practicable.

The initial payment of a Subscription is treated the same as a Spend Transaction, however subsequent payments for the Subscription may occur automatically so therefore we have some special rules.

Users are aware of the length and cost of the Subscription.
No Subscription occurs without authorization from the user.
