Kinesis Yields
The Kinesis Yields are rewards designed to incentivise participation in a sound-money monetary system.
Kinesis’ yield system is a fee-sharing arrangement that redistributes a portion of the transaction fees generated across the Kinesis Monetary System according to how users participate in it.
The financing of the yield system does not rely on interest or lending. Instead, the yields are funded by network activity: every trade, payment or transfer produces a small fee that flows into a central Master Fee Pool, from which the yields are distributed.
This section explains how the Master Fee Pool operates and how the different yield types — Holder’s Yield, Minter’s Yield, Referrer’s Yield, Velocity Yield and Partner’s Yield — are calculated and paid.
Rather than retaining the entire amount as revenue, Kinesis redistributes more than 50 percent of the pool each month to participants across five behavioural categories. In this way the normal cost of transaction fees is converted into a mechanism that pays users. Holding, referring, partnering and spending all contribute to the rewards, so the activity of users themselves generates the funds that are shared out.
