FAQ

How do I earn the Holder’s Yield?

The Holder’s Yield is designed to reward Kinesis users for holding gold (KAU) and silver (KAG) with Kinesis. In order to be eligible for the Holder’s Yield, all you need to do is purchase and hold/store Kinesis gold (KAU) or silver (KAG) in your Kinesis account or any wallet linked to it. You can acquire your KAU and KAG in the process of minting, buying on the Kinesis platform, receiving a transfer or even as a reward or your previous yield payout.

For a full breakdown, please read our comprehensive eligibility guide – here.

How is my Holder’s Yield calculated?

15% of the Kinesis Master Fee pool is allocated to the Holder’s Yield fee pool. This 15% is then distributed to all system participants who are eligible for the Holder’s Yield, in the proportion they have stored their KAU or KAG with Kinesis, as compared to other participants.

Holder’s Yield calculations are based on the ratio of gold (KAU) or silver (KAG) you have held on your Kinesis account (or any linked wallet) versus the total amount all other Kinesis users have held in a period.

You can find a more detailed breakdown – here.

Do I have to hold gold (KAU) or silver (KAG) for the full month to receive the yield?

No, your Holder’s Yield is calculated daily, so you will receive your yields for the exact amount of days you’ve been holding your KAU and KAG in your Kinesis account or an external wallet linked to it.

Do I have to hold gold (KAU) or silver (KAG) in my account to receive the yield?

Holding your assets in your Kinesis account is not a necessity to receive Holder’s Yield.  Your Kinesis gold (KAU) and silver (KAG) held in external wallets are also applicable for the yield, as long as they are linked to your Kinesis account.

Although the vast majority of Kinesis users are not required to take action, we still urge all participants to check that all their addresses are listed in the address linking widget on the Kinesis platform.

We would like to emphasise that all unlisted external addresses will not receive a yield. This is why it is imperative that all users follow the steps to ensure all external addresses on which you hold your assets are linked to your Kinesis account. A comprehensive linking guide can be found here.

Where and how often will I get paid?

All activated yields are paid monthly, in the first week of each following month, for all yields accrued in the previous month.

Your earned Holder’s Yield will be paid into your Kinesis KAU and KAG accounts, however, Kinesis also calculates and checks your holdings on all linked addresses. You can keep track of your yields via the Yields dashboard on the Kinesis platform.
