Hold KBY. Pay less. Access more.
Your KBY balance determines your relationship tier with KeyBay Capital. Higher tiers unlock lower vault fees, better borrow rates, premium API access, and institutional services. No staking required — your wallet balance determines your tier.
Tier is determined by the KBY balance in your linked wallet at the time of each vault or credit operation.
The on-chain tierOf(address) function reads your balance — no snapshots, no averages.
