summary
Monetha builds a reputation platform on Ethereum that treats ratings as immutable, transferable records — a reputation passport for sellers — but hits Ethereum congestion and shifts high-volume transactions to Stellar for speed. Kin embeds a Kin wallet in Kik so users earn and spend tokens for moderation or sticker sales with no platform cut. An ICO raises 95,000 ether ($37M) in 18 minutes, proving demand; usability, custody loss, and blockchain scaling remain unresolved despite real user activity.
