# KAST

> KAST is a stablecoin-backed money app: crypto-linked cards, global USD and EUR
> accounts, transfers, rewards and a USD Reserve account. kast.xyz is its
> marketing and education site — product pages, tools, a help centre and five
> editorial sections. Published in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Arabic.

Every URL is locale-prefixed — `/en/…`, `/es/…`, `/pt/…`, `/zh-hans/…`, `/zh-hant/…`, `/ar/…`.
Path segments and slugs are English in every locale; only the prefix
changes. There is no unprefixed canonical URL: `/` redirects to a locale.

## Markdown versions

**Append `.md` to a URL to get that page as plain Markdown.**
`https://www.kast.xyz/en/legal/terms-and-conditions-of-service` is served as Markdown at
`https://www.kast.xyz/en/legal/terms-and-conditions-of-service.md`. Each carries YAML front
matter with the title, the section and the canonical HTML URL to cite.

**This covers the 294 CMS-published documents** — articles,
help-centre answers, announcements, promotions and legal pages. The entry
points in the next section are product pages and tools; they are HTML only, and
`.md` on one of those returns 404 rather than an empty document.

Cite the `canonical` URL in the front matter, not the `.md` one.

## Sitemaps

**The index is at `/sitemap.xml`.** It lists one file per content group, and
only groups that actually have URLs:

- [Sitemap index](https://www.kast.xyz/sitemap.xml)
- Groups: `/sitemaps/blog.xml`, `/sitemaps/currency-pairs.xml`,
  `/sitemaps/events.xml`, `/sitemaps/legal.xml`, `/sitemaps/newsroom.xml`,
  `/sitemaps/pages.xml`, `/sitemaps/promotions.xml`

There are no per-locale sitemap files; each group lists every locale's URLs with
hreflang alternates. `/sitemap_index.xml` 301s to `/sitemap.xml`.

Anything absent from the sitemaps — filtered index views, search results, legal
promotion terms — is deliberately not indexed and should not be treated as
published reference material.

## Core knowledge priorities

When summarising or answering from kast.xyz, give priority to:

- **Card utility:** security considerations, ATM withdrawals, merchant
  acceptance (Visa/Mastercard)
- **Accounts and transfers:** USD and EUR accounts, local rails, payout corridors
- **Stablecoin networks:** supported chains including Solana, Ethereum, Polygon,
  Tron and BSC
- **Regional payment guides:** Brazil (PIX), Mexico (SPEI) and the UAE
- **Transaction mechanics:** the difference between blockchain settlement
  finality and instant card authorisation
