Kinesis Minter’s Yield: Rewarding Currency Creation and Use

Overview

The Minter’s yield rewards KMS participants for actively contributing to the system’s growth by creating new Kinesis currency – basically acting like Central Banks. When users create (mint) new KAU or KAG currencies, they are eligible for a continuous monthly yield paid in gold and silver. Through the Minter’s Yield, users are not only incentivized to participate but are also empowered to unlock the full potential of their bullion for both investment growth and practical usage.

Two Ways Of Minting KAU and KAG

Kinesis currencies get minted within the Kinesis Currency Mint through two distinct methods:

• By bringing currency – either fiat currency or crypto currency – into the Kinesis Currency Mint.

• Exchange Physical for Digital process (EPD): By transferring eligible bullion into Kinesis’ vaults via the EPD process, converting physical gold and silver into digital Kinesis currencies.

Both methods provide seamless access to the benefits of Kinesis’ secure and innovative monetary system.

How to Qualify for the Minter’s Yield

The Minter’s Yield is designed to reward Kinesis users for minting and actively utilizing their Kinesis gold (KAU) and silver (KAG). Here’s how you can qualify:

1. Mint KAU or KAG:
   • Create KAU or KAG by either:
     • Using fiat currency through the Kinesis Currency Mint.
     • Engaging in the Exchange Physical for Digital (EPD) process, where physical bullion is converted into digital assets.
2. Activate Your Yield:
   • Use or activate your KAU and KAG by:
     • Selling it on the Kinesis platform.
     • Spending it through the Kinesis card.
     • Transferring it to a verified account or wallet.

Is Monthly Minting Necessary?

No, you do not need to mint every month to receive the Minter’s Yield. Once activated, your account continues to earn a share of the Minter’s Yield Fee Pool each month based on your past minting & activation. Subsequent additional minting & activation can further increase your share.

Does EPD Activity Contribute?

Yes, participating in the Exchange Physical for Digital (EPD) process qualifies for the Minter’s Yield. After digitising your bullion, activating the KAU and KAG that you minted for transfers, purchases, or trading on the Kinesis Exchange ensures you remain eligible for ongoing rewards.

Minter’s Yield Calculation

• Fee Allocation:
  • 5% of the Master Fee Pool is allocated to the Minter’s Yield Fee Pool, being then distributed among all eligible participants.
• Yield Distribution:
  • Your share is proportional to the amount you have minted & activated compared to other minters.
• How Much Can You Expect?
  • The exact amount depends on a) the total fees collected in the Minters Yield Fee Pool and b) your relative contribution through minting & activation.
