The "piggy bank" reward mechanism on the $KITE tokenomics page is the part I keep rereading. Per official docs as of October 27, 2026, participants accumulate emissions over time, and claiming then selling "permanently voids all future emissions to that address."
Emissions are simply new tokens paid out as rewards. The design forces a choice between taking rewards now and earning for longer, not both. I like that the trade is explicit rather than hidden in a lockup schedule.
What I cannot verify is how it works in practice. The same page places staking in Phase 2, tied to Mainnet, and the Passport changelog I checked through October 15, 2026 does not mention it. That may only mean it lives in other docs.
I also wonder how an address-level penalty handles someone simply using a fresh address. The docs do not say. They also state that rewards should shift from emissions to protocol revenue, so how long does the piggy bank stay relevant after that shift?
