Kinfo October Edition: Kin turns one, appoints CMO, and partners with Perfect365!

Welcome to Kinfo, your monthly digest of all things Kin!   First and foremost, we'd like to introduce our CMO, Matthew DiPietro, who comes to Kin after eight years at live streaming platform Twitch. Matt will drive marketing strategy for the Kin brand, platform, and product suite, including the Kin Developer Program. We're glad to have you on board, Matt! We also announced a partnership with Perfect365, the #1 augmented reality beauty app with 100 million users. Perfect365 has already implemented the Kin SDK, making Kin available to a test group of users in Australia, Canada, India, the U.K., and the U.S. Users are able to earn Kin natively in-app, and they can spend Kin on premium Perfect365 features. The test group is expected to grow in the coming months, and Kin will eventually be available to all Perfect365 users. Finally, last week we celebrated the one-year anniversary of Kin's token distribution event. It's been an exciting year for Kin, and we're grateful for your continued support. We're proud of what we've accomplished over the past year, and we're excited for what's ahead.   Former Twitch executive Matthew DiPietro appointed CMO of Kin September 18, 2018 DiPietro joins us from Twitch where he launched the company's brand and led all marketing initiatives, including the creation of TwitchCon, the company's annual convention. Matt will lead Kin's marketing efforts to help drive adoption of Kin, making it the most used cryptocurrency in the world.   Perfect365 has integrated Kin to bring cryptocurrency to beauty enthusiasts September 19, 2018 We've partnered with Perfect365, the #1 augmented reality beauty app, to bring cryptocurrency to its 100 million users. With a user base that is 92 percent female, the integration makes Perfect365 one of the first apps, in any category, to bring cryptocurrency to women on a large scale.   New timeline for the Kin Developer Program September 20, 2018 Based on participants' feedback, we've amended the program's timeline. The demo day, where developers showcase their apps internally, will now take place on October 15, and participants will have more flexibility in meeting the program's milestones.   Kin celebrates its first year September 26, 2018 The Kin Token Distribution Event closed one year ago, raising nearly $100M. Since then, we've accomplished a lot, including bringing on six ecosystem partners, creating our own scalable blockchain, and launching the Kin Developer Program to give forty developers the tools needed to integrate Kin into their apps.
