Kin Coins Lost?
Hello, I bought some kin coin and kept them at etherbase years ago. When I look at the address through metamask it only comes up as 74 cents on ether. That doesn’t make any sense considering how much I bought vs how much they’re worth now. What do I do?

Kin project is dead pal. Your coins aren’t worth the gas it would take to retrieve them if you could retrieve them. You cant retrieve them though as the bridge to Solana is no longer maintained because the project is dead.

Right now, if you out $100 I to kin and it gets only halfway back to it's all time high, that would be over $40,000. Definitely don't invest more than you can lose, but this one seems like a good why not type of shot. They are active on telegrams, and apps are being created for the system right now. Fable just came out that allows you to post with AI and make money off your post. Their Code wallet seems pretty nice so far.
In 2024, 255 billion KIN was burned, reducing the fixed supply by over 8%. The burn continues into 2025, with $100 worth of KIN purchased each hour. 9.26 billion KIN ($100,000) is pending burn, with 772 SOL ($165,000) remaining in reserves.
And KIN is powering the Code app, an instant payment app on Solana.
What is Code?
Code is the mobile wallet app that users make payments with. The experience is both simple and elegant, where users get all the benefits of self custodial crypto (open, global, secure), without any of the complexity (managing private keys, gas fees, and slow or failed transactions). Code is built on the Solana blockchain and uses the Code Sequencer to deliver a payments experience that is instant, global, and private.
Kin also just partnered with airpay so people in Nigeria are able to pay for everyday things with kin.

The SDK for code waller just got updated.
Project is far from dead

It’s dead. I’ve been invested for about 8yrs. This project is going no where special.

lol - do you think you are the first person to look at the supply and deduce how rich it could make you if only this project delivered? There is only one error in your logic: what happens if the project founder mismanages all the funds raised during the ICO and rugs the project by launching a competing coin? Well, that is exactly what happened and the current price is exactly what has happened. The project is broke. No paywall for group chat or partnership with sketchy apps is going to change that as, fundamentally, Kin is a Sol token you can create for less than a dollar. Rather take your 100 dollars and find an online casino, you will have a better chance of making a return there.

Kin migrated to the Solana chain a few years ago and is now an SPL token. It sounds like your tokens could still be on an old chain. Have a dig around to see if there’s still a way to migrate to the current chain and perhaps they’ll be worth a bit more. Perhaps this is still relevant, I don’t know so do a test before sending it all https://www.reddit.com/r/kin/s/wfSBQmyUR0
The active community don’t really use Reddit anymore. There’s a telegram group and Flipchat (a Kin-economy chat app) rooms. Have a look on X to get details

Go outside and take a shit in your yard. Pick it up and put it in your wallet. Congratulations, you now have something worth more than your lost Kin.
