Kinesis
EthereumEach KAU is backed by one gram of fine gold, fully allocated and insured across Kinesis' global vaulting network. Kinesis shares transaction-fee revenue with holders and minters, adding a usage-based yield component atop the metal.
Gram-denominated vaulted gold with usage-based yield sharing.
Prism analyst note
KAU's gram denomination and fee-sharing 'yield on gold' set it apart from the pure-storage tokens, at the cost of platform dependence: liquidity concentrates on Kinesis' own exchange rather than open DEXs. Suits savers who want spendable, yield-touched bullion; less suited to DeFi composability or institutional block trading.
