Ecosystem Spotlight: KGeN — Building the Future of VeriFi
Enter KGeN, which is helping to solve this problem within AI, gaming, DeFi, and consumer applications. By reimagining distribution infrastructure for the digital economy, KGeN is building a verified distribution protocol called “VeriFi.” In doing so, KGeN aims to empower users to own their digital identities and reputation while enabling a more transparent and verifiable ecosystem for businesses to grow, entirely built on Aptos.
Transforming Digital Distribution with Verified Users
At the heart of KGeN is its VeriFi Network powered by the Proof of Gamer Engine (POGE)—a privacy-preserving identity and reputation framework that verifies real users and captures their engagement on‑chain.
To date, KGeN reports more than 876 million data points processed, enabling services such as biometric-based onboarding, programmable loyalty rewards and decentralized storefronts through its K‑Store.
With 38.9 million registered users and nearly 800,000 daily actives, KGeN has become one of the most widely adopted networks in Web3. This growth is reflected across its partner ecosystem which spans 200+ organizations and contributes to more than $48 million in annualized revenue.
Products Powering VeriFi
Designed for composability and trust, KGeN’s product suite allows builders to unlock verified growth strategies across gaming, AI, DeFi and consumer apps.
Through Engage, KGeN supports privacy-preserving user acquisition and AI training mechanisms, helping teams onboard real users while enhancing model performance with verified data.
Meanwhile, its Loyalty Protocol introduces programmable, composable rewards that allow applications to design on-chain incentives tailored to verified engagement. This creates new ways to retain and grow communities with transparency and trust.
KGeN also offers the K-Store, a decentralized storefront designed to bring fairness to digital distribution by connecting verified users with applications in a trusted environment.
Underpinning all of these services is KGeN’s Proof of Gamer Engine (POGE) which validates user engagement and reputation while preserving privacy, serving as the foundation for KGeN’s VeriFi Network.
Verifiable Momentum
To date, KGeN’s growth is backed by strong traction across its community and ecosystem:
$43.5M raised from global investors including Jump Crypto, Accel and Aptos Labs.
6.6M unique active wallets across its ecosystem.
$22.7M proof of treasury, reinforcing long-term stability.
These milestones highlight KGeN’s emergence as an early mover in the verification economy, driving measurable value for the Aptos ecosystem.
Unlocking the Verification Economy on Aptos
KGeN leverages Aptos for on-chain anchoring of verified identity, reputation and reward validation. Through Aptos’s scalable and secure infrastructure, KGeN can maintain proofs and attestations for its user reputation framework while ensuring transparency and composability across applications.
Already, KGeN has emerged as one of the most active applications on Aptos, consistently leading in transaction volume and user activity. This activity highlights how verification-based protocols like KGeN can drive meaningful utility and throughput across the Aptos ecosystem.
The Road Ahead
As Web3 continues to evolve, so too does the demand for verifiable, trusted user engagement. KGeN’s mission to build the world’s largest distribution protocol—powered by the verification economy—underscores its role in this transformation, with Aptos providing the foundation for a more transparent digital future.
