CMC Labs is pleased to welcome Kindred into its incubation program. Kindred is building the first agentic AI protocol powered by licensed IP, enabling emotionally intelligent AI companions to be brought to life through some of the world’s most iconic characters.
With over 20 licensed IP partnerships, including Axie, Minto, and Teletubbies, Kindred is building the next cultural and technological shift in how humans interact with AI.
“We’re excited to join CMC Labs,” said Max, CEO of Kindred. “CoinMarketCap has been a launchpad for the most important players in crypto. With CMC Labs behind us, we’re accelerating our mission to reshape digital interaction and make AI truly personal, emotional, and alive.”
Kindred’s protocol is designed around $KIN, its native token, which will power all interactions across its ecosystem. From NFT-based agent ownership to staking, utility, and IP-driven activations, $KIN is central to how users engage with the platform.
“We see Kindred as an original and forward-thinking project in the space,” said Rush, CEO of CoinMarketCap. “The idea of bringing beloved IPs to life through AI companions is a novel use case and a strong foundation for meaningful adoption.”
CMC Labs’ incubation will support Kindred across go-to-market, ecosystem growth, and strategic introductions as the team prepares to roll out its token, product, and the first wave of AI companions built in collaboration with global IP partners. (CMC Labs: Partnership)
