$KINS
Type On-chain token (Solana)
Gathered at Marketplace (sell Gold for $KINS), Solana DEX/CEX purchase
Skill None
Used for Game access, Marketplace listings, paid Spinner Wheel, Holder Benefits tiers

$KINS is the native Solana token tied to Kintara's on-chain economy. A wallet holding at least 1,000 $KINS is required to log into the game, and $KINS is used across the marketplace, the paid Spinner Wheel, and — as of a recent update — a full Holder Benefits tier system.

Holder Benefits

$KINS holder benefits are officially live. The more $KINS you hold, the more you unlock across Kintara — progression boosts, extra storage, daily rewards, and exclusive areas. Holder tiers scale with your $KINS balance, and every tier includes the benefits of every tier below it. Your tier is reflected in-game — your name changes color to match.

Holder Tiers & XP Boosts

Tier Threshold XP Boost
White 1K $KINS Base tier
Blue 10K $KINS +1% XP
Green 100K $KINS +2% XP
Gold 1M $KINS +3% XP
Purple 5M $KINS +4% XP

Additional Holder Perks

Beyond the tier bonuses above, hitting specific $KINS thresholds unlocks further perks, independent of the color tiers:

Threshold Perk
25K $KINS Double XP from daily quests
50K $KINS Extra inventory row + saved outfit
75K $KINS Extra bank slot + extra daily Spinner Wheel spin
100K $KINS Increased Marketplace listings

Exclusive Spaces (Coming Soon)

Space Status
High Roller Room Holder-only area — coming soon, not yet live.
Pub / Club Dedicated social hub for the community — coming soon, not yet live.
Note: Kintara's official announcement states "This is just the beginning" — more perks, access, and in-game benefits are planned as further additions to the Holder Benefits system.

Acquiring $KINS

$KINS is not earned directly through gathering or combat. Players obtain it in two main ways:

  • Buying externally — $KINS is tradeable on Solana DEXs (e.g. PumpSwap) and is listed on centralized exchanges including Blofin and MEXC. It launched with no presale and no airdrop.
  • Selling in-game gold — players can list Gold for sale on the Marketplace, priced in $KINS. The buyer pays from a connected Solana wallet, and the seller receives $KINS in return. This is the only way to earn $KINS purely through gameplay.

Gold and $KINS can be exchanged in both directions through Marketplace listings — gold for $KINS, or $KINS for gold.

Verify: The Holder Benefits announcement states that "every resource gathered, piece of loot earned and trade made through the marketplace can help you earn $KINS" as part of building holdings over time. This is broader marketing language than the "Acquiring $KINS" mechanics documented above, which currently state Gold-for-$KINS Marketplace sales are the only gameplay-based earning path. It's unconfirmed whether this reflects a genuine new direct-earn mechanic (resources/loot converting to $KINS) or is just reiterating that trading gathered goods on the Marketplace nets $KINS indirectly. Verify in-game before updating the acquisition mechanics above.

Uses in Kintara

$KINS has a few in-game roles:

Use Requirement Notes
Game access Hold at least 1,000 $KINS A minimum 1,000 $KINS balance is required to log into the game at all. Also the White tier threshold for Holder Benefits.
Marketplace listings Any amount Buy and sell Gold and items priced in $KINS. Listing capacity increases at 100K $KINS held.
Paid Spinner Wheel spins ~$5 worth per spin Optional paid spins on the Mainland plaza; 50% of the $KINS spent is burned. An extra daily spin unlocks at 75K $KINS held.
Wishing Well burn Optional Burn $KINS alongside a charity donation for 2.5× raffle entries.
Holder Benefits tiers 1K–5M $KINS held Passive XP boosts and account perks that scale with balance — see above.
Note: $KINS holdings no longer affect Gold earning directly. The Traveling Merchant lottery — which previously scaled ticket entries with $KINS held — has ended following the merchant's death. Gold is now earned through mob and boss kills; see Gold. $KINS holdings now instead affect XP rate and account perks via the Holder Benefits system above.

Token Sinks

$KINS has three separate mechanics that remove it from circulating supply or a player's wallet:

Mechanic Split Notes
Marketplace $KINS sale 95% seller · 2.5% treasury · 2.5% burned The seller still receives 95%. The old 5% treasury fee is now split — half to treasury, half permanently burned. Gold marketplace sales are unaffected and remain fee-free (100% to seller).
Paid spinner wheel spin (Mainland) 50% burned, 50% to treasury Cost is roughly $5 worth of $KINS at the live price per spin.
Wishing Well $KINS burn 100% burned Optional — burn $KINS alongside a charity donation for 2.5× raffle entries. Fully burned, nothing to treasury.

Marketplace $KINS sales, paid spins, and Wishing Well donations all now contribute to the permanent $KINS burn, slowly shrinking supply over time.

Tokenomics

Figures below are pulled from public exchange/aggregator data, not an official Kintara dev statement — treat as approximate.

  • Max supply: 1,000,000,000 $KINS (1 billion)
  • Circulating supply: roughly 990–997 million as of mid-2026, trending down slowly due to spinner burns
  • Publicly cited burn total: approximately 5,085,570 $KINS burned (~0.5% of supply)

Risks

As with any small-cap game token, players should be aware:

  • The Kintara development team is not publicly identified, and there is no public smart contract audit.
  • $KINS price has been highly volatile since launch.
  • Treasury governance and fund usage are not publicly detailed.
