Kik's vision is to establish a decentralized marketplace to connect app developers with users. Their aim is to create alternative revenue sources for developers that are not tied to advertising. The company's blockchain project has attracted attention due to its status as an established consumer company, the large amount of money that was raised, and their plans to use both the Stellar and Ethereum blockchains for the KIN token.
Kik currently operates a mobile messaging app with over 300 million users. Kik launched the KIN token in an ICO that raised close to $100 million in 2017. The token is intended to power a a decentralized ecosystem of digital services, but will first be used, within the Kik messaging ecosystem.

Storiqa is developing a decentralized e-Commerce marketplace with a focus on eliminating fake reviews. It will be powered by the STQ token and will allow users to buy and sell items with a smart contract enabled platform. The STQ token will also be used to reward users that participate in reviewing items and sellers.
