Kik (@Kik) — Twitter Score 17 out of 1000

Kik is a messaging and social-chat app, founded by Ted Livingston, that created the Kin cryptocurrency token through its former owner, Kik Interactive Inc., before being acquired by MediaLab in October 2019. Kik's Twitter Score is 17 out of 1000 as of July 2026, ranking #63,988 among 531,432 tracked accounts.

Kik is available as an iOS and Android app offering messaging, group chat, and live streaming, and MediaLab currently lists it among its online products and services. Kik Interactive launched the Kin token distribution event in September 2017, having closed a presale that raised US$50 million from accredited investors including Blockchain Capital, Pantera Capital, and Polychain Capital. Previously, Tencent had made a US$50 million strategic investment in Kik Interactive in 2015, a Series D round that the company said valued it at $1 billion. Earlier backers had also included Union Square Ventures, RRE Ventures, Spark Capital, and Foundation Capital.

Kik was at the center of a significant regulatory action when the SEC filed a civil complaint against Kik Interactive on June 4, 2019, alleging that the 2017 Kin offering constituted an unregistered securities offering. A federal district court granted the SEC summary judgment on September 30, 2020, finding that the Kin sales were investment contracts that violated federal securities laws. A final judgment entered on October 21, 2020 permanently enjoined Kik Interactive from further violations and ordered it to pay a $5 million civil penalty. Kik has been operated by MediaLab since its acquisition in October 2019, separate from Kik Interactive's legal proceedings.

Kik has published 23,851 posts on the platform. Kik has been mentioned by 266 accounts, with 787 total mentions.
