$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

The Traveling Merchant now visits twice per day at random times — once between 00:00–12:00 UTC and once between 12:00–00:00 UTC. Your $KINS holding determines how much Gold you can claim per visit.

Holding	Unlocks	Gold per visit	Max per day (both visits)
Less than 1,000	Cannot log into the game	0 Gold	0 Gold
1,000 to 4,999	Game access	1 Gold	2 Gold
5,000 to 9,999	Game access	3 Gold	6 Gold
10,000+	Game access	5 Gold (hard cap)	10 Gold

Holding more than 10,000 $KINS does not increase the per-visit limit further — 5 Gold per visit is the maximum for Personal Merchant claims. All tiers also require holding the necessary materials (Wood, Stone, Coal, Metal, Cooked Fish Meat) and completing Daily Quests before claiming.

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.
Wishing Well $KINS burn	100% burned	Optional — burn $KINS alongside a charity donation for 2.5× raffle entries. Fully burned, nothing to treasury.

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.
