A system built to reward you 

Weekly rebates

The exchange and spread costs of each mint cycle is fully rebated each week*. So you’re ready to mint all over again.

Weekly rewards

Get 0.02% in gold (KAU) with every completed mint cycle, up to the max daily limit of your minting Tier. Paid into your account weekly.

Earn monthly yields

Kinesis shares more than half of its fee revenue as yields – paid in gold – each month. The more you mint cycle, the larger your share of the Minter’s Yield and the Velocity Yield. The Minter’s Yield rewards you for minting and the Velocity Yield rewards you for trading.

Sustainable growth

The KMP is sustainable due to our vertical integration in the gold industry, technology stack, and industry partnerships. As the KMP grows, rewards increase for all participants across the Kinesis Monetary System.

*In a flat market, where a mint cycle is conducted without market movement with sufficient market liquidity. As part of the KMP,  participants will receive a rebate of the exchange fee 0.22%, the minting fee 0.45% & a fixed spread of $0.20, along with an additional 0.02% reward, resulting in a net benefit of approximately 2 basis points, less the $5 fixed withdrawal fee. Returns are calculated based on prevailing fees and spreads and are subject to market fluctuations. See T&Cs.

KMP rewards Eligibility criteria
What days can I earn with the KMP?

Only minting activity conducted from Monday 00:00 (UTC) to Friday 23:59 (UTC), each week, is eligible for the Kinesis Minting Programme.

When do I receive my KMP rewards?

Rewards and rebates are calculated weekly, from Monday 00:00 UTC to Friday at 23:59 UTC, and paid every Tuesday into your Kinesis account.

If you mint gold (KAU) one week, then sell it in later weeks, any remaining KMP payments you’re owed will still be sent to you in a follow-up payout.

Is there a limit to the amount I can mint under the KMP?

Yes, your daily minting limit for the KMP is based on your Tier. All verified users who meet the one-off Entry Requirements automatically receive Tier 2 access (up to a $500,000 daily minting limit) for their first month of the programme. To maintain the daily minting limit of: $500,000 in Tier 2 or increase it to $1,000,000 in Tier 3, users must meet the Monthly Eligibility Requirements.

See the Terms & Conditions.

What yields can I earn with KMP?

Through the KMP, you can earn the Minter’s Yield and the Velocity Yield. The Minter’s Yield is paid when you mint and activate gold (KAU), while the Velocity Yield is earned when your minted gold (KAU) is spent or traded within the Kinesis system.

On top of that, any gold (KAU) earned through the programme and held in your Kinesis account also qualifies you for the monthly Holders Yield. All yields are distributed monthly, based on your activity compared to other Kinesis users.

As all KMP fees are fully rebated, Partners and Referrers do not receive yield payments on any KMP or mint cycling activity.

Can I earn KMP rewards for minting silver (KAG)?

No, the KMP rewards and rebates apply exclusively to Kinesis gold (KAU). Kinesis silver (KAG) is not included in the programme.

How is non-USD spending calculated for the KMP?

For Metalback purchases made in currencies other than USD, the currency rate is set when your order is confirmed by the merchant and reported to Kinesis. This rate reflects the conversion between USD and the purchase currency.

We then use this converted amount to calculate and add towards your KMP spend.

Does the KMP qualifying spend requirement include VAT?

No, VAT is excluded from the KMP spend requirement. Only the net purchase value is considered.

Is KMP spend calculated from tracked orders or vendor confirmation?

The KMP spend requirement applies only to Metalback-eligible orders and is calculated based on tracking from the Kinesis platform. To ensure accurate tracking, you must accept cookies on both the Kinesis platform and the vendor’s website.

Do purchases outside the Metalback program qualify for KMP?

No. Some vendors, such as Royal Mint or Harrods, offer Metalback on specific products or promotions only. To count towards your KMP spend requirement, the purchase must be part of an eligible Metalback offer.

Do Bullion Store purchases count towards KMP?

Not at the moment. However, gold and silver bullion purchases from the Kinesis Bullion store will be included in the KMP spend requirement calculation in the future. We will update the community when this is live.

How can I check if I’ve got enough referrals to qualify for a Tier?

You can easily check your verified referees for any given month in the Referral Hub on the Kinesis platform. This section gives you a clear view of all your referees who have completed identity verification and count towards your Tier progress.

We’ll also send you an email notification as soon as you meet all the qualifying criteria for a specific Tier.
