Visualizing the #KinesisMoney $KAU "Emissions account".
Kinesis says the "Emissions account" is supposed to be both the mint and the redeem address.
The on chain data looks different.
It's the "Root account" that seems to be the real mint along with the "Inflation account' and the "Other inflation account". These are the three accounts that transfer out tokens they never received in the first place. This is what would be traditionally thought of as "minting".
The Root account has no inflows, it only has outflows. The outflows go to the "Emissions account" (3,060,512 $KAU) and to the "Inflation account" (110 $KAU).
It looks like this 👇
Here is the "Inflation account" it has 110.17 $KAU of inflows and 474,791.28 $KAU of outflows.
Here is the "Other inflation account". It has 26.91 $KAU of inflows and 475,648.52 $KAU of outflows.
It looks like this 👇
In conclusion, the blockchain data appears to show less than 4 million $KAU that have been repeatedly cycled through the "Emissions account" to arrive at the figures of 48,976,675.9959 KAU minted and 47,568,311.2704 redeemed.
Most of this activity took place between audits of the gold and silver backing the system. This activity stopped abruptly with a very large 174,000 $KAU ($10.8 million) transaction just hours before the last audit (June 2022) began. 👇
@ParrotCapital After the fact that Kinesis had shifted more than 2/3 of their gold to Turkey and converted much of their LBMA holdings to non-LBMA Kinesis branded bars, they stopped reporting the distribution of their assets between vaults.
@ParrotCapital Stranger still, despite all the fanfare about Kinesis "big Indonesia project", none of their "audits" have ever indicated any gold stored in Indonesia and Indonesia specifically requires LBMA gold.
"Through Kinesis blockchain wallet technology, our users – whether an individual or organisation – can easily send digitised physical gold or silver anywhere in the world, with settlement times of just 3 seconds, 24/7."
If there was an open market for $KVT and the price dropped below 5% of "listing price" (whatever that is), Kinesis would be on the hook to spend 20% of revenue or almost $5 million USD to buy back $KVT
