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