Koins economy
Koins is the Kariant platform currency used across partner features — most notably to fund Boost and reward affiliates.
Earning and spending Koinslink
Koins live in your KashFlow wallet. Partners use Koins to fund the Boost auction and to reward affiliates in Katalyst programs. Early partners also receive a matching Sikka/Koin credit equal to their listing fee on approval.
Partners also earn Koins through the earn engine — promotional, non-cashable grants for actions like completing your profile (+100, once), publishing listings (+50, capped 10/month), receiving reviews (+25, capped 30/month), replying to reviews (+10, capped 30/month), and staying active monthly (+200) — plus a 500-Koin bounty when a referred partner publishes their first listing.
Beyond earning and spending, the Kapital suite puts your balance to work: Kredit (peer-to-peer Koin loans between partners), KreditLine (a revolving Koin line sized by your deterministic KreditScore), Kultivate (commit idle Koins to closed-loop growth programs with tiered terms), and Kontests (compete for Koin prizes). Featured Placement — a flat 500 Koins ($500) per listing — is the simplest promotion spend, separate from Boost.
The Koins economy is closed-loop. Kredit, KreditLine, Kultivate, and Kontest are denominated and settled in Koins — never cash. Where cash is involved (for example the eligible early partners’ 100% fee-back as Kash from day 366, or cashback), it is governed by the platform’s payout rules.
