Velocity Yield
distribution mechanic
Velocity Yield is a rewards model used in the Kinesis Monetary System that pays users for actively using their assets ÔÇö such as KAU (tokenized gold) and KAG (tokenized silver) ÔÇö in everyday transactions. Unlike HolderÔÇÖs Yield, which rewards saving, Velocity Yield incentivizes spending, sending, or trading sound money within the network.
Use Case: “By spending or transferring KAU and KAG, users earn precious metals as yield ÔÇö making real gold and silver functionally profitable in daily life.”
Key Concepts:
- Transaction-Driven Rewards ÔÇö Yield is based on on-chain usage and payment volume.
- Asset Mobility Incentive ÔÇö Encourages active participation over passive hoarding.
- Gold/Silver-Based Payouts ÔÇö Rewards are paid in KAU and KAG, not inflationary tokens.
- Network Liquidity Engine ÔÇö Supports healthy velocity and ecosystem sustainability.
Summary: Velocity Yield transforms KAU and KAG from static stores of value into yield-generating currencies. It encourages transactional utility and rewards real-world usage ÔÇö helping build a decentralized, sound money economy with tangible returns.
