Supply release: when does the rest arrive?
96% issued · minedThe remaining 3.6% is released by mining on a schedule fixed in the protocol.
New KAS enters circulation as a block reward that steps down on a schedule written into the consensus rules — no company controls it, and nobody can bring it forward or hold it back. Because it is enforced in code rather than by an issuer, the remaining supply arrives gradually over decades rather than in unlock events.
