This article explains everything you need to know about the KAST Solana Card: what it is, how it works, how to get it, and what features and limits apply. You’ll also find step-by-step instructions and answers to common questions to help you get the most out of your card.
What Is the KAST Solana Card?
The KAST Solana Card is one of KAST’s standard plastic cards, designed for users who want a Solana-branded card experience while spending their KAST balance. It lets you make everyday payments anywhere Visa is accepted, depending on your region.
The Solana Card is linked to the Solana ecosystem and supports rewards tied to SOL activity, while still working like a regular KAST card for daily purchases. Like all KAST cards, it draws directly from your available KAST balance, so you can spend instantly without waiting for bank transfers.
The Solana Card is part of KAST’s Standard card tier, alongside the K Card, Pengu standard card, and the Bitcoin Card. All Standard cards share the same core functionality—you simply choose the design and ecosystem that fits you best.
What Benefits Come With the Solana Card?
The Solana Card gives you a simple, low-barrier way to start earning rewards while spending normally.
With this card, you get:
- 1.5% USD cashback
- Instant access to a virtual card, so you can start spending right away
- 0.125 KAST Points per 1 SOL approximately every two days
