The Kin Guide
How It Works
Kin is a market built around breeding. Any two Solana tokens can produce a child token that launches live on pump.fun, joins a family tree, and pays real SOL rewards to the people who created it.
Connect your wallet
Connect a Solana wallet like Phantom or Solflare and sign one free message to sign in. No email, no password — your wallet is your account.
Pick two parents
Paste any two Solana token contract addresses on the Breed page. The first two outside tokens you combine become Gen 0 and found a brand-new family. After that, every breed is one Kin-born child plus any other token.
The only rules: the two parents can't be parent and child, can't share an ancestor, and each must be past its 30-minute rest after its last breed.
Create the child
Kin generates the child's portrait by fusing the two parents' looks — memes, animals and logos are each handled differently — and you can edit the name, ticker and description, upload your own image, and add an optional X link.
You pay a 0.1 SOL launch fee, and optionally a dev buy that the family wallet purchases for you at launch and sends straight to your wallet.
The child launches live
The child launches on pump.fun from its family's own wallet — one wallet per family, created with the first breed. Its Kin page link is embedded in the pump.fun listing, so buyers land straight on its page here.
The child joins its family tree at generation = highest parent + 1, and after 30 minutes it can breed again. Families grow forever.
Earn real SOL rewards
Every child's trading fees are collected automatically once an hour and split:
- Founding breed (two outside tokens): 50% to you, 50% to Kin.
- Every later breed: 25% to the creator, 50% to Kin, 25% to the Kin-born parents.
Claim your rewards as real SOL anytime from the Rewards page.
Common Questions
Do I need two tokens to breed?
Only for the very first breed of a new family. After that, breeding is one Kin child plus any one other token.
How often are rewards paid?
Creator fees are collected from pump.fun automatically once per hour and appear on your Rewards page. You claim them as SOL whenever you like.
What does the launch fee cover?
The 0.1 SOL fee funds the family wallet that launches your token on pump.fun and pays out that family's rewards forever.
Can a child breed with its parent?
No. Parent and child, or any two tokens that share an ancestor, can never breed. Every token also rests for 30 minutes after breeding.
What is a dev buy?
An optional amount of SOL the family wallet uses to buy your new token at launch, then sends those tokens to your wallet. It gives your launch an instant first buyer.
Who owns the family wallet?
Each family has one server-created wallet that launches all its tokens and pays its rewards. It is funded by launch fees and creator fees.
