> **Visual Note:** A tier list ranking crypto projects, where KAST has been placed in F-tier at the bottom alongside OKX (S), Kadena (A), Synthetix (B), and Bybit and Binance (C), reflecting the post's criticism of KAST's controversial changes to its token launch and points conversion plan in favor of competitors like OKX, Plasma, and ether.fi.

  tbh.

Users who accumulated large amounts of KAST points received a one-sided announcement.
• The original token launch plan is reportedly being reconsidered.
• The company now plans to convert points"

> **Visual Note:** A data visualization titled "June Movers: who actually grew" from DappRadar shows June 2026 vs May 2026 monthly growth metrics across Volume, Transactions, and Active wallets for various crypto cards. Plasma One ranks #1 across all three categories with $9.9M volume (+103%), 71,395 transactions (+338%), and 10,124 active wallets (+313%), while KAST also performs strongly at #3 in volume ($199.9M, +14%), #3 in transactions (244,647, +16%), and #2 in active wallets (62,547, +38%), illustrating the post's claim that only 5 crypto cards grew across all three metrics simultaneously.

> "Crypto card volume hit an all-time high in June. Transactions actually dropped 

Only 5 grew on all three at once, volume, transactions and wallets:

- 
@Plasma
 One went up triple digits across the board
- 
@KASTxyz
 kept climbing: +14% volume, +16% tx, +38% wallets

> **Visual Note:** The image shows a Korean-language announcement regarding point distribution and potential token-related decisions. It mentions KAST's token plans, references regular point holders (포인트 TGE), and discusses legal considerations. The post highlights controversy around KAST sending emails to select high-point holders about potentially canceling token issuance plans, contradicting what appears to be promises made about regular point holders receiving tokens.  

> 
> "[KAST saying now that they might not even release the token]
@KASTxyz
 has been sending emails only to some users who hold large amounts of points starting a few days ago, which has sparked controversy on X.

I also received the email since I have quite a lot of KAST points, and"

Confirmed Loss: Compared to other cards, the annual fee is ridiculously expensive, and they gouge you with fees every time you use the card.

Points: They said they won't give tokens. They're talking about giving equity, but I don't know if we'll actually get it properly."

> **Visual Note:** A screenshot of a KAST announcement addressed to users with high KAST points balances, informing them that the platform is shifting from token-based rewards to tokenized equity. The message expresses gratitude to early supporters and notes that while smaller holders may get redemption or burn options, larger holders will be offered equity instead—relating to the post's complaint about KAST replacing crypto cashback with equity offers.  

> 
> "The only crypto app I ever used, 
@KASTxyz
, was giving token cashback, so I was making around 200-300 million won a year, but suddenly they're saying they're giving equity instead lol. That's why the more I get into Web3, the less I want to. Everyone's just full of hot air."

Excited to see 
@KASTxyz
 support Open USD from day one, bringing businesses a stablecoin built for the internet economy.

Open, accessible, and designed to scale. That’s the kind of foundation global payments need."

But what I don't understand is... why did they introduce the role system last year dec?. 
@KASTxyz
 raised $80M in funding in March 2026. Personally, I think the role campaign was mainly used to show strong"

> **Visual Note:** A text excerpt about KAST points answering 'Will I be able to convert all points at TGE?' with two options: converting immediately with a 50% forfeit, or converting 25% immediately and the rest monthly over 24 months.  

> 
> "KASTのこれ、知らない人多そう
TGEで50%放棄して即時トークンに変換 
or
即時25%トークンに変換+残りは2年間ベスティング

あと前に見たときはFDV1B想定でポイント配布って書いてあったけど今見たら800M想定に変わってた（運営が変更出来るとは書いてある）"

the part that doesn't sit right with me is their discord roles

people spent months grinding roles, staying active, inviting others and promoting the project because they thought those roles would eventually matter"

It transitions to highlight a gold "VISA" debit card, then navigates to a "Cards" section, and finally to a "Membership" page detailing the "Standard" tier perks, including "1.5% cashback" and "3 free Standard cards." The video ends with the "KAST" logo animation, promoting the app's streamlined crypto payment features and debit card offerings.

Been 2 yrs since KAST was launched and they been doing the most.

Why not pay close attention to KAST.

Well crypto payments don't actually become simpler in the usual crypto process, you do almost everything, but Kast is built different.
