Last Chance to Join the KAST Founders Tier

Some offers stay open for a while. This one does not.

The KAST Founders Tier closes on April 11. Until then, you still have one final chance to join. After that, the Founders tier will close to new users, and the Founders card will no longer appear in the KAST app.

If you join before the deadline, you secure lifetime Premium for the life of your KAST account through a one time payment of $5,000. You also receive a black metal Founders card, Visa Infinite tier benefits, and VIP invites to exclusive KAST events.

What makes the Founders Tier different

The Founders Tier is different because it is not a recurring membership.

Instead of paying a yearly Premium fee, you make a one time payment and keep Premium tier benefits for the life of your account. That is the core value of the Founders Tier.

It also includes more than account access. The tier comes with the Founders card itself, Visa Infinite tier status, and access to exclusive KAST events.

What changes on April 11

On April 11, the Founders Tier closes to new users as the Memberships and Card Refresh update goes live. After that, new users will no longer be able to join the tier, and the Founders card will no longer be visible in the KAST app.

This change does not affect existing Founders card holders. If you already hold a Founders card, your status stays in place and your lifetime Premium benefits continue as promised.

What you get if you join now

Price One time payment of $5,000
Premium tier benefits Lifetime
Annual Premium fee None
Card Black metal Founders card
Visa tier Visa Infinite
Access VIP invites to exclusive KAST events

Refreshed Founders card design

KAST is also introducing a refreshed Founders card design. Users who complete the upgrade will receive the new black metal card design, with physical card shipping set to begin at the end of April.

Final window before the tier closes

This is the last chance to join the KAST Founders Tier before it closes on April 11.

After that, the tier will no longer be available to new users.

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. You’ll be asked for:Your affiliate code (from the app)Name, phone number, and KAST emailPrevious affiliate experience (if any)Optional links (Telegram, LinkedIn, etc.)Your main channels and audience countriesA short note about how you plan to promote KASTSubmit the form.

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.
