Kin Docs Introduction
Welcome to the Kin Developer's Documentation. It contains everything required for developers to get started with integrating their apps with Kin.
What is Kin?
Kin is a token on Solana, a consumer-grade blockchain built for scale. It can currently handle 65,000 transactions per second, so it can scale as well as most financial payment systems. Solana transaction times are roughly less < 1 second, making it perfect for the consumer applications of all sizes. Currently transactions made via the Kin SDKs is closer to ~2 seconds, but is being optimized every day. Solana is also decentralized and secure. Read more at http://www.solana.com.
Where to Start
To effectively integrate the use of Kin into their apps, developers should first familiarize themselves with the high-level architecture overview and how the system works. Those who are ready to get started and register can jump to the App Registration section.
