Kinesis Yields
The Kinesis Yield System is a fee-sharing arrangement that passes on a share of the transaction fees produced across the Kinesis Monetary system to people who qualify. It does not rely on interest or lending. Instead the yields come from activity on the network: every trade, payment or transfer generates a small fee that goes into a central Master Fee Pool.
This section sets out how the Master Fee Pool works and how the different yield types — Holder’s Yield, Minter’s Yield, Referrer’s Yield, Velocity Yield and Partner’s Yield — are worked out and paid.
Rather than keeping the whole amount as revenue, Kinesis redistributes more than 57.5 percent of the pool each month to participants according to five separate behavioural categories. In this way the usual cost of transaction fees is turned into a way of paying users.
Holding, referring, partnering and spending all feed into the rewards, so the activity of users themselves supplies the funds that are shared out. The result is that the precious metals side of the system operates with a built-in yield element.
