This relates to the post by highlighting the complex terms potentially overlooked by users seeking to "farm harder" for promised tokens. > > "> be KAST > pay half of ct to post "best crypto card ever" > partner with pudgy penguins, drop the pengu card for that community trust > promise 1 kast point = 1 kast token at tge > People pay $1k-$10k/year for premium tiers to farm harder > promise tge Q4 2025 > delay to" ### Post #6 by @onchainmo > **Author:** moritz ([@onchainmo](https://x.com/onchainmo)) > **Metrics:** 85 likes · 2 retweets · 29 comments · 12.3K views > **Posted:** 2026-07-07T06:13:52+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/onchainmo/status/2074376332331680188](https://x.com/onchainmo/status/2074376332331680188) > **Visual Note:** **Caption:** Screenshot of KAST's Terms and Conditions page (dated December 1, 2025) under the "Services" section, with text highlighting that Virtual Assets transferred to KAST become property of KAST, and ownership/interest in those assets is no longer retained by the user. **How it relates to the post:** The highlighted clause shows that once users transfer crypto into KAST, the company owns those assets outright while the user holds only an unsecured promise — supporting the post's claim that KAST could legally "rug" depositors by withholding their funds, since users have no ownership claim or guarantee of return. > > "so theoretically KAST could say at any time: i think we’ve got enough user deposits now. then just legally rug everyone, and there is nothing you can do about it?" ### Post #7 by @0x_NickTheFreak > **Author:** 0x_Nick ([@0x_NickTheFreak](https://x.com/0x_NickTheFreak)) > **Metrics:** 64 likes · 4 retweets · 31 comments · 7.3K views > **Posted:** 2026-07-07T10:02:47+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/0x_NickTheFreak/status/2074433943642812919](https://x.com/0x_NickTheFreak/status/2074433943642812919) > **Visual Note:** The image shows KAST's (@KASTxyz) Twitter/X profile, described as "The money app for global citizens" that allows users to "Store, earn, move, and spend stablecoins anywhere in the world," with 66K followers, 1.1K following, and listings for "We're Hiring" positions including an Engineering Lead (Remote) and Account Executive (New York). The profile relates to the post, which warns users about KAST allegedly giving zero ownership of assets according to their terms and conditions, advising withdrawal of funds like the poster's 4 Figs. A Twitter profile screenshot for @KASTxyz, self-described as "The money app for global citizens" for stablecoins, with 66K followers, while the accompanying post warns that KAST's terms grant zero asset ownership and advises users to withdraw their funds. > > "Good morning I literally woke up to KAST being a scam and giving 0 ownership to your assets !!

This relates to the post about KAST's yield potential from disbursement float, as the ledger entry system described creates a float period between asset receipt and card spending where KAST can earn additional yields on the obligated funds beyond standard interchange fees. > > "How could @KASTxyz potentially make much more than its peers? ANS: yields from disbursement float - while peers earn only when cards get used, with the interchange fee being ~1-2% and split with the card issuer and network, Kast earns the interchange fee, PLUS whatever accruing" ### Post #11 by @UseArtisan > **Author:** artisan.cash ([@UseArtisan](https://x.com/UseArtisan)) > **Metrics:** 55 likes · 10 retweets · 12 comments · 1.9K views > **Posted:** 2026-07-07T01:55:03+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/UseArtisan/status/2074311198888128525](https://x.com/UseArtisan/status/2074311198888128525) > **Video Content:** The video consists of a series of clips showing Michael Jackson, where he appears to be watching something with an intense, emotional expression, biting his fingernails in the first frame before breaking into a wide smile in the subsequent frames, seemingly reacting joyfully to an unfolding event. The scene is set in a crowded, dimly lit environment with other spectators visible in the background. No on-screen text, tickers, or numbers are visible; the accompanying post contrasts the visible excitement with a commentary about crypto projects. > > "Not @ether_fi and @KASTxyz fighting on the timeline while artisan.cash is quietly building a product that's better than both" ### Post #12 by @TheDeFinvestor > **Author:** The DeFi Investor ([@TheDeFinvestor](https://x.com/TheDeFinvestor)) > **Metrics:** 2 likes · 0 retweets · 1 comments · 1.7K views > **Posted:** 2026-07-07T09:44:08+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/TheDeFinvestor/status/2074429248652157069](https://x.com/TheDeFinvestor/status/2074429248652157069) > **Visual Note:** A screenshot of KAST's Services terms highlights that when users transfer Virtual Assets (such as cryptocurrencies or stablecoins) into KAST, they "no longer retain any ownership interest in those Virtual Assets," with ownership transferring to KAST's corporate treasury—reinforcing the post's warning about KAST's custodial setup and recommending non-custodial alternatives like ether.fi Cash, Plasma One, and Gnosis Pay. > > "This is a big red flag for KAST tbh. My advice is to use non-custodial crypto cards where your funds are truly yours. A few good examples: • @ether_fi Cash • @Plasma One • @gnosispay Those offer a generous cashback as well." ### Post #13 by @Riowgmi > **Author:** Rio ([@Riowgmi](https://x.com/Riowgmi)) > **Metrics:** 74 likes · 1 retweets · 38 comments · 1.3K views > **Posted:** 2026-07-07T09:51:58+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/Riowgmi/status/2074431221187371488](https://x.com/Riowgmi/status/2074431221187371488) > **Visual Note:** Screenshot of KAST's Terms and Conditions of Service (dated December 1, 2025), highlighting that virtual assets transferred to KAST are treated as a sale and the user no longer retains ownership of those virtual assets. > > "kast was having a good run until they started pointing fingers at others here's what you didn't know about kast: the moment you transfer your assets to kast, you give up ownership of them on top of that, it counts as a taxable event even worse than CEXs at this point they" ### Post #14 by @ImmortalXelf > **Author:** Xelf ([@ImmortalXelf](https://x.com/ImmortalXelf)) > **Metrics:** 11 likes · 0 retweets · 5 comments · 1.1K views > **Posted:** 2026-07-07T16:44:03+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/ImmortalXelf/status/2074534924091064825](https://x.com/ImmortalXelf/status/2074534924091064825) > **Visual Note:** A Discord notification from ether.fi (verified account) offering $100 to talk about "Kas..."
