About the Company

CODE

Self-custodial Kin wallet for instant payments

What Code does: Code offers a self-custodial crypto wallet and payment app built on the Solana blockchain, using the Kin cryptocurrency. It enables instant, free transactions and private balances, focusing on practical payments rather than market speculation. How its product works: Users hold Kin in a non-custodial wallet and transfer funds via the Solana network; the app leverages digital paper cash concepts to enable fast, fee-free transfers without intermediaries, preserving user privacy. How it stands out from competitors: Unlike many wallets that emphasize trading, Code prioritizes instant, private cross-border payments with low costs by combining Kin on Solana and a not-for-profit model to avoid transaction fees, aiming for global usability. How the company’s goal: To provide accessible, private, and cost-effective crypto payments worldwide, funded initially by a not-for-profit approach with a future plan to introduce a subscription model to sustain operations.
