1 Kinesis gold (KAU) is backed by 1 gram of 1:1 allocated, audited gold bullion.

Kinesis silver (KAG)

How do I know my gold and silver is in the vaults?

All gold and silver bullion held by Kinesis undergoes independent, third-party audits, twice a year.

We employ the world-class independent audit and inspection specialist, Inspectorate International, a Bureau Veritas company, to conduct regular, independent, physical audits of all bullion underpinning Kinesis gold and silver digital assets. The quantity of gold and silver held in our vaults is checked against the record of all KAU and KAG in circulation, stored on our blockchain.

Regular independent audits verify that every KAU and KAG within the Kinesis monetary system is based on an exact 1:1 allocated quantity of gold and silver bullion. Additionally, independent auditors perform a series of assessments to ensure the weight and fineness of the bullion is as stated, and the quality of the storage is satisfactory.
