Kona Kitties
Overview
Kona Kitties are positions that capture protocol fees across the Kona ecosystem. Lock KONA to mint a Kitty, equip gear to boost your fee share, and earn ETH from Kona Lend and Kona Swap activity.
No KONA inflation. No emissions. Just real protocol revenue flowing to committed holders.
Core Mechanics
Minting a Kitty
Three paths to get a Kona Kitty:
Genesis Sale
200 supply
??? ETH per Kitty
Includes KONA permenant locked
3.0x tier multiplier
Max 3 per wallet
Public Mint
Unlimited supply
Starting price: ??? ETH (increases over time)
You provide your own KONA to lock
You choose lock duration
1.0x tier multiplier
Staking Path
Stake KONA to earn mint eligibility over time
150 KONA staked = 1 free mint per 30 days
Less KONA = longer wait (50 KONA = 90 days)
Still requires KONA to lock in the Kitty
1.0x tier multiplier
Lock Durations
Longer locks receive higher fee multipliers:
2 weeks
0.05x
1 month
0.1x
3 months
0.3x
6 months
0.6x
1 year
1.0x
2 years
2.0x
4 years
4.0x
Permanent
10.0x
Lock multipliers decay linearly as time passes. Permanent locks never decay.
You can extend your lock or convert to permanent anytime. You cannot reduce lock duration.
Fee Capture
Kona Kitties receive protocol fees from:
Kona Lend
Interest spread from borrowers
Origination fees
Liquidation fees
Kona Swap
Trading fees
LP fees
Future Sources
Additional protocol integrations
Fees are distributed weekly in ETH (switchable to KUSD via governance). Your share is proportional to your Kitty's Power relative to all Kitties.
Power Formula
Example:
100 KONA locked
Permanent lock (10.0x)
Genesis tier (3.0x)
Max gear (25.0x)
Power = 100 × 10 × 3 × 25 = 75,000
Your fee share:
Gear System
Equip gear to boost your Kitty's fee capture.
