Kinesis Fee Structure

The topic of Kinesis fees is closely tied to Kinesis Yields, as the yields are paid out from the revenue generated by these fees. The bulk of Kinesis fees are transaction fees, with currency transactions contributing the largest share to the Master Fee Pool. There are no ongoing fees, nor are there fees for account access or deposits.

Understanding Transaction Fees in the Kinesis Monetary System

The two primary purposes of Kinesis fees

1. Facilitating Transactions: These fees cover the operational costs associated with processing and validating the movement of currency within the network.
2. Generating Revenue: A portion of the fees collected is redistributed to users as part of Kinesis’ yield system, rewarding participants for using sound money.

The four key elements of Kinesis fees

1. Currency Transfers: 0.45%
   Fees are applied when transferring Kinesis currencies, such as KAU (Kinesis gold) or KAG (Kinesis silver), between accounts within the network.
2. Trades on the Kinesis Exchange: 0.22%
   A standard fee is charged for buying and selling Kinesis assets, ensuring seamless and secure trading while contributing to the platform’s overall revenue.
3. Spending Transactions: 0.22%
   When Kinesis-linked cards or other spending methods are used, fees are incurred to facilitate the processing of transactions, both online and in-store.
4. Blockchain Interactions: 0.45%
   Activities such as minting new Kinesis currencies or conducting on-chain wallet transfers include execution fees to maintain blockchain security and functionality.

Kinesis never charges users for depositing fiat currencies into their Kinesis account.

Fees for depositing digital currencies into the Kinesis platform

Kinesis never charges users for receiving digital assets in their Kinesis account.

Fees for depositing bullion via Exchange Physical for Digital (EPD)

EPD fees for bullion deposits, where their costs incurred for moving such bullion exceed US $1,000, are waived until the end of the KVT for EPD Offer period.

If you currently hold gold or silver bullion you can easily bring it into Kinesis and still take advantage of the system’s many benefits. Allowing you to gain liquidity from your existing precious metals and enabling them to start earning a yield.

Fees for depositing coins and bars via Exchange Physical for Digital (EPD) into a segregated facility

Kinesis users wishing to deposit coins or bars will need to have their coin and/or bar collection assayed at their expense with a service provider of Kinesis’ choosing. Additionally, fees will be charged for both the delivery and cataloguing of the coin or bar holdings.

Assay, delivery and cataloguing fees are calculated on individual circumstances and we will provide a quote after the assessment.
