## About

### What it is

The platform provides digital currencies KAU (gold-backed) and KAG (silver-backed) that grant legal ownership of physical precious metals stored in fully insured vaults at zero storage cost. Users can buy, sell, trade, and request physical delivery while earning yields from transaction fees through six reward mechanisms.

### Who uses it

Kinesis is a financial platform and Virtual Asset Service Provider regulated by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority that enables users to hold, transact, and earn returns on tokenized precious metals backed 1:1 by physical bullion.

### How it works

Unlike traditional precious metal providers, Kinesis generates revenue through 0.22% transaction fees rather than storage fees or mark-ups, distributing 57.5% of fee revenue back to users as monthly yields. All bullion is independently audited twice per year, and users maintain legal ownership of their metals at all times with on-demand physical delivery available.
