KSKD Tokenomics

Utility and governance, by design

KSKD coordinates the protocol. Suppliers and borrowers who stay active through the epoch claim KSKD incentives. Holders who stake KSKD and keep an active supply position vote on parameters within ranges enforced by the contract, and voting stakers claim protocol fees. Incentives flow through three on-chain modules: Protocol Incentives, Protocol Resource, Milestone Incentives. KSKD alone, held passively in a wallet, grants no incentives and no voting power.

One token, two chains. KSKD lives on Robinhood Chain and on Igra with a single 1,000,000,000 supply shared across both, never minted twice. Each epoch releases a fixed amount set by the emission schedule, split between the chains pro rata to the TVL each one holds.

One token, three responsibilities.

Governance · Incentive access · Coordination
01

Governance Medium

Stake KSKD and maintain an active liquidity position to vote on parameter adjustments. Voting power = TVL Score (time-weighted, uptime-adjusted) + Loyalty Score (cumulative voting history, never decays).

Bounded on-chain voting
02

Incentive Access Key

Supply or borrow with ≥ 80% uptime over the epoch to claim KSKD incentives, no staking needed. To claim protocol fees, stake KSKD, keep a supply position and vote. No passive yield, no shortcuts.

Activity-gated rewards
03

Coordination Tool

KSKD aligns long-term participants around protocol health. Sustained engagement is rewarded over speculation, for humans and AI agents alike.

Min Supply Value

Minimum TVL participation (in USD value) to qualify for the TVL participant role and claim KSKD.

02Eligibility

Min Supply Uptime

Minimum time (% of epoch) your supply position needs to be maintained at, in order to keep your TVL participant role and claim KSKD.

03Eligibility

Min Borrow LTV

Minimal LTV needed to qualify for a KSKD claim boost as a TVL participant.

04Eligibility

Min Borrow Uptime

Minimum time (% of epoch) your borrow position needs to be maintained at, in order to keep claiming KSKD boost.

05Allocation

KSKD Allocation Ratio

Share of KSKD monthly emission going to Suppliers. Remaining portion will be allocated to borrower boost.

06Parameter

Unclaimed KSKD Rollover

% of unclaimed KSKD rolled to next epoch. Remaining portion is sent to a burn address for supply adjustment mechanism.

07Treasury

DAO Treasury: Incentives to TVL participants

% of the collected fees allocated to active TVL participants for the next epoch.

08Treasury

DAO Treasury: Supply Adjustment

% of the collected fees to buyback KSKD on the market.

09Treasury

DAO Treasury: Kaspa Core DevFund (Igra only)

% of the fees collected on Igra sent to the Kaspa Core DevFund wallet to support Kaspa L1 R&D. Voted on Igra only.

10Parameter

Milestone Incentives Split Ratio
