The platform's fee on a purchase is swapped to KURA on KuraDEX, creating continuous demand (the flywheel); the money you invest goes to the asset's issuer and is never converted to KURA. Card purchases deliver shares directly, with no swap.See also: Flywheel, KuraDEX, Staking

- The KURA demand loop, funded by platform revenue: more activity → more fees → more fee-funded KURA buying → KURA demand ↑ → staking more attractive → deeper liquidity. Investor principal is never part of the loop; it settles to the issuer.See also: KURA, Staking
- KuraDEX defi
- The constant-product AMM where USDC↔KURA swaps execute. Every crypto buy order routes through it for settlement.See also: AMM, KURA
