KAST X Card Review
The KAST X Card is a Premium tier 100% chromoly 32g metal Visa with 5% Season 5 points, 4% $MOVE cashback, and USDC/USDT stablecoin spending for $1,000/year.
The Signature Premium Metal
The X Card is KAST's flagship Premium design: a 100% chromoly 32g metal card that is heavier than most crypto metal cards on the market. At $1,000/year, it unlocks 5% Season 5 points (2.5x the Standard tier) and a 0.5x SOL staking multiplier (2x Standard).
This is one of three Premium tier options alongside the Solana Illuma and Bitcoin Black. All three share identical economics at $1,000/year - the choice is the card's physical design.
ROI Analysis: The $1,000 Break-Even
| Monthly Spend | Annual Points Value (5%) | Net After Fee | Annual Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| $1,000 | $600 | $600 | -$400 |
| $1,667 | $1,000 | $1,000 | $0 (break-even) |
| $3,000 | $1,800 | $1,800 | +$800 |
| $5,000 | $3,000 | $3,000 | +$2,000 |
Break-even at $20,000 annual spend ($1,667/month). This calculation uses the 5% points rate, which is seasonal and depends on $KAST token value at TGE. The 4% $MOVE cashback adds uncalculated upside.
For comparison, the Founders Edition offers the same 5% rate for a one-time $5,000 payment with no recurring fee. If you plan to use KAST for 5+ years, Founders Edition has a lower total cost.
Premium vs Standard Economics
| Feature | X Card (Premium) | K Card (Standard) |
|---|---|---|
| Annual fee | $1,000 | $0 |
| Season 5 points | 5% | 2% |
| SOL staking multiplier | 0.5x | 0.25x |
| $MOVE cashback | 4% | 4% |
| Card material | Chromoly metal (32g) | Plastic |
The $MOVE cashback is identical across tiers. The premium upgrade buys you 3 percentage points more Season 5 points and a metal card. At $5,000/month spending, the extra 3% generates $1,800/year in additional points - well above the $1,000 fee.
Card Design
KAST describes the X Card as "100% chromoly, 32g metal card built for a premium lifestyle." Chromoly steel is the same alloy used in high-end bicycle frames - chosen for weight, durability, and distinctive feel at the point of sale.
Verdict
The KAST X Card makes financial sense above $1,667/month in spending. Below that, the free Standard tier delivers better value per dollar. The chromoly construction makes it the heaviest and most distinctive crypto metal card available. For committed KAST ecosystem users who want maximum pre-TGE farming at the Premium price point, the X Card is the flagship choice.
Best for: Regular spenders ($2,000+/month) who want maximum Season 5 points and a signature metal card. Look elsewhere if: You spend under $1,667/month - the free K Card is more efficient. Or consider the Founders Edition for the same rate with no recurring fee.
Fees and break-even math
Annual fee: $1,000. Season 5: 5% points + 0.5x SOL staking + 4% $MOVE. Break-even: $20,000/year ($1,667/month) on points alone. FX/ATM fees not published - verify in-app.
Competitor comparison
- Crypto.com Jade Green: 3% cashback, 0% FX, $4K CRO stake. Lower cashback but guaranteed USDC, not points.
- ether.fi Luxe: 3% cashback, $0 annual, metal. Better guaranteed economics.
- Bybit: 2-10% cashback. Higher ceiling but tied to trading volume.
