Kindred, the agentic protocol for emotionally intelligent AI companions, is launching Kindred Genesis—a community initiative to establish the $KIN ecosystem.
Kindred, the agentic protocol bringing emotionally intelligent AI companions to life through iconic IP, is launching its first major milestone: Kindred Genesis, a community initiative designed to lay the foundation of the $KIN ecosystem.
Ownership of AI agents is no longer gated by snipers and cabals. It’s earned through contribution. Kindred Genesis is the community initiative that aims to involve creators and contributors to co-create the Kindred ecosystem. Rather than framing this as a traditional product release, the Kindred team is inviting the community to help shape the earliest phase of the protocol through usage, feedback, and participation.
Genesis isn’t a polished launch, it’s the first brick.
This is a utility-first initiative focused on data, training, and early traction. By interacting with Kindred AI companions, users actively help improve the system’s intelligence, emotional nuance, and personalization.
In return, contributors earn Dark Matter (In-game points) that can be rewarded to $KIN, the native token powering the entire ecosystem.
This approach isn’t just about product development, it’s also about gaining mindshare across the crypto space. Genesis is designed to seed culture, build conviction, and reward those who show up early.
There will be collaborative quests rolling out with other communities, airdrop-based activations, and early access to future IAOs (Initial Agent Offerings). The earlier you contribute, the more you unlock.
Every interaction fuels the ecosystem.
The more the product is used, the smarter the agents become. The smarter the agents become, the more value flows back into the network. That’s the core feedback loop of Kindred.
Instead of releasing a closed system, Kindred is opting to make the development process transparent and participatory. The initiative is also structured to give early community members a sense of shared ownership over the protocol’s long-term direction.
Kindred Genesis is now live.
Community members can start engaging with companions, completing social missions, and earning token rewards while contributing to the foundation of a growing AI economy.
Exclusive for the CMC community: Use code CMCLABSXKINDRED to unlock bonus points during Genesis.
