KAST Member of the Month: Meet Gleisson Herit

We’re happy to announce Gleisson Herit as our Member of the Month for May.

Gleisson is a Brazilian entrepreneur, investor, frequent traveler, and longtime builder. Since 2001, he has worked on online projects, with a deep focus on digital real estate. His latest company, Glemo, was founded in 2021.

He has spent more than two decades in digital business and innovation. In parallel, he’s been active in crypto for the last five years. Today, he’s also developing an RWA project with a major Brazilian bank.

That mix says a lot about him. Gleisson does not look at crypto as a side interest. He sees it as part of the next evolution of his business.

Gleisson Lives Where Business, Travel, and Crypto Meet

Gleisson is based in Brazil, but his life moves across borders. He often travels to the US, Australia, and Italy.

For him, travel is not only a break from work. It’s part of how he learns, meets people, studies markets, and finds new opportunities.

“Meeting new people motivates me. I’ve always been driven by challenges.”

His day runs close to 24 hours. Still, he makes time to study innovation, economics, and politics, and to exercise.

Outside work, he’s into video games and martial arts. He’s traveled to professional fighting game tournaments and now keeps a health-focused routine with swimming, biking, and running.

Even on work trips, he makes time to explore. That fits his view of travel clearly.

“To travel is to live. Crypto helps me travel without worry.”

How Gleisson Found KAST

Gleisson first heard about KAST through Coleta Cripto.

He had already joined an existing service, but found the model rigid. When Coleta mentioned KAST, the idea felt different.

What pulled him in was simple: KAST made crypto feel usable in daily life.

“The initial offering was fantastic: I could use crypto effortlessly in daily life.”

His first impression was even more direct.

“Wow, this is REALLY cool.”

That reaction came from the way KAST connected innovation with payments. For Gleisson, it wasn’t just another crypto product. It had real utility.

Why KAST Works for Him

Gleisson uses KAST mostly for travel right now.

In March, he used KAST in Cannes, France. Everything he bought and consumed there went through KAST. Then in May, he used it again at Consensus in Miami and had the same positive experience.

He buys gifts, pays for food, uses it for transportation, and plans his trips around KAST.

“KAST is my base.”

For him, the card is the feature that stands out most.

“The card. I use it at any moment.”

He also said KAST made money movement easier compared with how he handled spending before. In his view, KAST is practical and cheaper than Brazilian credit cards.

That matters for someone who moves between countries, business communities, and events. Gleisson needs tools that work across borders without turning every payment into a problem.

Gleisson Sees KAST Beyond Personal Travel

Gleisson uses KAST as a global card today, but he is already thinking beyond personal spending.

One of his companies is expanding in the US and starting in the UAE. He expects KAST Business to help with employee payments and cross-border transactions.

For him, this opens real business use cases.

“I count on KAST to help pay these employees, and it opens huge doors for cross-border payments.”

He sees KAST as more than a card. He sees it as an important tool for companies that operate globally.

That’s also why he follows KAST closely. He values the team, the business vision, and the direction we’re building toward.

“I see KAST becoming a dominant company in the future, and I’ll be following its steps.”

Why Gleisson Keeps Sharing KAST

Gleisson recommends KAST to friends and colleagues because he believes in the product and the people behind it.

He loved the recent cashback and membership launches, joined the cashback campaign, and plans to keep recommending KAST.

“I value the KAST team and really like the company’s business vision.”

That’s exactly the kind of energy we like to see. Not forced. Not loud for no reason. Just real use, real trust, and real support from someone who understands where global finance is heading.

Why Gleisson Is Our May Member of the Month

Gleisson represents the kind of global KAST member we’re building for.

He works across markets. He travels often. He follows innovation closely. He uses crypto because it solves real problems, not because it sounds trendy.

He also brings KAST into real life: Cannes, Miami, business trips, daily spending, cross-border plans, and conversations with other builders.

That’s what makes him stand out.

He doesn’t only use KAST. He understands why it matters.

Who’s Next?

KAST Member of the Month is for people who use KAST to get more out of life and work, and inspire others to do the same.

That can happen through travel, business, content, events, referrals, community help, product feedback, or simply showing others what KAST makes possible.

Keep building. Keep sharing. Keep making KAST more useful for the people around you.

You might be next.

KAST Adds In-App Affiliate Sign-Up and Portal Access

You’ve probably talked about KAST without even thinking about it. Maybe someone asked how you receive USD from abroad. Maybe they were curious how you actually spend stablecoins in daily life. Maybe you dropped your referral link in a group chat and moved on.But you never really know what happens next.Now you can turn those casual conversations into something structured and measurable — without creating a separate account or searching for signup pages. You can apply to the KAST Affiliate Program directly inside the app.There are no extra logins, no separate platforms to manage, and no added friction. It starts exactly where you already are.Why Apply Inside The App?Most affiliate programs sit outside the product experience. You usually have to search for the right signup page, create a separate login, manually connect your referral code, and then switch between different dashboards just to keep track of everything. It often feels disconnected from the product you’re actually using.With KAST, the process starts inside the app. You simply go to Home → Refer → Become an Affiliate.Because it’s built into your existing account, your email stays aligned, your referral code remains the same, and your identity is already verified. There’s no need to recreate information or manage a separate profile.Keeping everything in one place reduces friction, minimizes back-and-forth during review, and makes the whole process more straightforward.How The Application Process WorksStep 1: Apply From The AppOpen your KAST app and go to:Home → Refer → Become an AffiliateThen:Tap ReferTap Become an Affiliate (top corner)The application form opens in your browser.It’s short and focused.

Some people sign up — but you don’t know how many, or why.After applying through the app and getting approved, that changes.Now you can see:Which posts generate sign-upsWhich use cases resonate mostWhether your audience responds more to the KAST Card or Local PayoutsInstead of guessing, you have data.Instead of casually sharing, you’re running something structured.How This Fits Into the KAST EcosystemMost affiliates promote what they already use. In practice, that means they talk about real things they do in KAST. For example, they receive USD into their KAST Global USD account, hold stablecoins like USDC, and spend globally with the KAST Card. They also use local payouts to convert funds into local currency when they need to.When your content reflects real usage, referrals feel natural. You are not pushing a product. Instead, you are showing how you use KAST in daily life. People understand the value because they see it in context.The Affiliate Program simply adds tracking and structure to what you already do inside KAST.What It CostsThere is no fee to apply.If approved, commissions and rewards are visible inside the Affiliate Portal.Eligibility criteria, reward structures, and approval timelines may change and are subject to internal review.Quick Checklist Before You ApplyYou actively use KASTYou have an audience (community, social media, newsletter, etc.)You can explain real use cases clearlyYou’re willing to promote responsiblyIf that sounds like you, the process takes just a few minutes.Ready To Apply?Open the KAST app and go to:Home → Refer → Become an AffiliateOr learn more at:https://www.kast.xyz/affiliateStart in the app.Apply in minutes.Track everything in one place.
