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
1,000 $KINS	Minimum required to log into the game at all.
1,000 $KINS	Eligible to exchange 1 Gold per day with the Traveling Merchant (if required materials are also held).
5,000 $KINS	Eligible to exchange 5 Gold per day with the Traveling Merchant.
10,000 $KINS	Eligible to exchange 10 Gold per day with the Traveling Merchant.
100,000 $KINS	Unlimited daily exchanges with the Traveling Merchant, until the merchant runs out of gold.

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 $3 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.
