My question.
How does people earn through KIN monthly? as I understand, whenever other spends their KIN, holders will earn just like staking? is it like that?
Great question! You can earn KIN two different ways. One way is as a user which is the most common way. The other way is as a developer which takes a lot more effort, but has much higher payouts.
UserUsers are users of the applications that have integrated KIN. The way that you earn KIN within each app can vary drastically. You might earn some KIN for creating an account. Some apps will reward you with KIN for watching ads. Some apps allow their users to earn KIN from filling out a survey. There's an app where you can win KIN from predicting the outcome of a sporting event. There's an app where you can earn KIN based on your score while playing various mobile games. There's honestly too many different ways to give an example of each. I will list a few apps below with their download links and how you can earn KIN within the different apps.
DeveloperDevelopers are essentially the "miners" of the ecosystem. 60% of all KIN ever created was set aside for the Kin Rewards Engine (KRE). The KRE distributes KIN every week to all the app developers who have integrated KIN within their apps. The amount of KIN that a developer receives is directly related to their app's contribution to the ecosystem. So if your app has 100,000's of users earning, spending, tipping, or buying KIN within the app, you will get a larger distribution of KIN than another application that only has 100 users earning, spending, tipping, or buying. The KRE algorithm has changed over time and will continue to evolve as the community and developers propose changes.
Here is a great breakdown of the KRE distributions. This was put together by a community member. It's a lot of data, but interesting to look at.
https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=DC4E93B1770EB945!2935&ithint=file%2cxlsx&authkey=!AN-da4kc5XGbIakThis last week 3,271,895,205 KIN ($19,991) was distributed between all the apps of the ecosystem. The top performing application received 44% of the payout (1,464,431,301 KIN or $8948). So it can be pretty lucrative to integrate KIN into your application. This particular app already had many users prior to integrating KIN. So it's easier for already established apps to earn a bigger share, but that's because they're providing the largest contribution to the ecosystem. Other apps are making $1000's or $100's or even just $10's weekly for their contributions as well.
