Skill	None
Used for	Marketplace listings, paid spinner wheel, Traveling Merchant exchange 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 larger holdings unlock additional Traveling Merchant exchange privileges.

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.

Uses in Kintara

Holding	Unlocks
Less than 1,000	0 Gold daily with the Traveling Merchant.
1,000 to 4,999	1 Gold daily with the Traveling Merchant.
5,000 to 9,999	3 Gold daily with the Traveling Merchant.
10,000+	5 Gold daily with the Traveling Merchant.

All Merchant exchange tiers also require holding the necessary materials (Wood, Stone, Coal, Metal, Cooked Fish Meat) to trade.

Token sinks

$KINS has two separate mechanics that remove it from a player's wallet, which are often confused with each other:

Mechanic	Split	Notes
Marketplace gold-for-$KINS sale	95% to seller, 5% to treasury	This fee is not burned — it goes to the project treasury, not removed from supply.
Paid spinner wheel spin (Mainland)	50% burned, 50% to treasury	Cost is roughly $5 worth of $KINS at the live price per spin. This is the actual burn mechanic.

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.
