Volume Bubbles Chart (1h)
Each 1-hour candle's volume is signed by its direction (up candles count as net buying, down candles as net selling) and drawn as a bubble at the closing price, green for buying and red for selling. Bubble size and colour intensity show how strong that flow is compared with the last 300 candles: the strongest 30% get full bubbles with their USD value, the rest stay as small dots. Unusually large bubbles flag aggressive buying or selling worth a closer look, often near breakouts, reversals or key levels.Seasonal Chart
Plots one line per calendar year showing the % change since the start of that year, with the current year highlighted against up to four previous years. Lining the years up on the same calendar shows whether the price tends to rise or fall in the same months, helping you spot recurring seasonal patterns. Treat it as context rather than a forecast: past seasonality does not guarantee future moves.Kyber Network Crystal Markets

About Kyber Network Crystal (KNC)
Kyber Network Crystal, or KNC, is the utility and governance token associated with KyberSwap and KyberDAO. KyberSwap is a multi-chain decentralized exchange that routes trades through liquidity sources, while KyberDAO lets KNC holders participate in governance. The token's role is not simply to pay a fixed fee: its documented model links voting and staking to decisions about the ecosystem. KNC has an important version history. In 2021, the project upgraded the token and renamed the earlier version KNCL, or KNC Legacy. Official documentation says holders of legacy KNCL can migrate to the current KNC at a 1:1 ratio. The current Ethereum KNC contract differs from the legacy contract, so ticker recognition alone is not enough when checking a wallet or transfer. KyberDAO allows eligible KNC holders to stake and vote on proposals. The documentation says voters can receive KNC rewards sourced from a portion of trading fees generated through KyberSwap activity. The reward depends on eligible participation and protocol activity; it is not a fixed yield promised to every token holder. Voting periods and staking procedures should be checked in the current interface.
KNC and KyberDAO governance
KyberDAO gives token holders a role in proposals related to Kyber Network and KyberSwap. Governance can influence incentives and protocol direction, but voting power depends on the applicable rules and participation. Holding KNC in a wallet should not be assumed to count as a vote unless the holder completes the required staking and voting steps.
Trading fees and participation rewards
The official KNC pages describe rewards sourced from a portion of trading fees. That makes rewards connected to protocol activity and participation rather than guaranteed interest. Trading volumes can change, and governance rules can be updated. Readers should check the current epoch, eligibility requirements and reward accounting before estimating what staking might deliver.
A dynamic token model
Kyber documentation describes KNC as dynamic: KyberDAO may approve token changes, including minting or burning, to support liquidity and ecosystem development. This means old fixed-supply descriptions can be incomplete. Supply claims should be tied to the relevant date and governance state, not repeated as permanent limits without checking current official records.
Multi-chain support and contract identity
KyberSwap supports KNC across several EVM-compatible networks, but token addresses and wrapped forms differ by chain. The official contract page lists the current Ethereum token and other supported representations, and it warns against certain wrapped tokens connected to the defunct Multichain operation. Verify the exact chain and contract before transferring or bridging.
Risks and due diligence
KNC holders face market risk, smart-contract risk, governance risk and the possibility that trading-fee rewards change with activity. Legacy KNCL can be confused with current KNC, and bridged representations add another layer of contract assumptions. Before staking or migrating, use current official documentation and avoid relying on old guides or unverified token addresses.

Kyber Network Crystal (KNC) FAQ
What is Kyber Network Crystal (KNC)?
KNC is the utility and governance token associated with KyberSwap and KyberDAO. Holders can stake and vote on proposals, and eligible voters may receive rewards from a portion of trading fees. KNC has a legacy predecessor called KNCL, so users should confirm which version and network they hold.
What is KNC used for?
KNC is used for participation in KyberDAO governance and related staking activities. The official docs say eligible voters can receive KNC rewards funded from a portion of KyberSwap trading fees. Its exact economic role can change through governance, so older descriptions of supply or utility should be checked against current documentation.
What is the difference between KNC and KNCL?
KNC is the upgraded token version introduced in 2021, while KNCL refers to the legacy version. Kyber's documentation describes a 1:1 migration from old KNCL to current KNC. The two tokens have different contract addresses, so confirm the chain and contract before transferring or interacting with a staking interface.
How does KyberDAO voting work?
KNC holders can stake and vote on governance proposals through KyberDAO. The process lets participants influence protocol direction and incentive design. Voting participation may be required to qualify for rewards, and procedures can change by epoch, so check the current KyberDAO interface rather than assuming passive token ownership automatically grants rewards.
Are KNC staking rewards guaranteed?
No. Kyber's documentation links eligible voting rewards to a portion of trading fees generated through KyberSwap activity. Rewards therefore depend on participation, trading activity and current protocol rules. The token's market price can also move independently, so historical rewards should not be interpreted as a fixed return or a promise of future income.
Can KyberDAO change KNC supply?
Kyber's official documentation describes KNC as a dynamic token that can be upgraded, minted or burned through governance mechanisms. That makes a timeless fixed-supply statement potentially misleading. To understand current supply conditions, check the latest token documentation and governance decisions rather than relying only on the original 2017 distribution.
Is KNC available on multiple chains?
Kyber documents KNC across several EVM-compatible networks, including the Ethereum token and supported cross-chain representations. Contract addresses differ by network, and not every wrapped token is equally trustworthy. The official address page warns users away from certain Multichain-related forms after that service ceased operations.
What is KNC's all-time high?
The market record for current KNC is $5.7, dated Apr 28, 2022. Historical series for legacy KNCL should not be assumed to match current KNC without adjustment. Check the Price Statistics panel and confirm the token version before comparing highs across dates or venues.
How has KNC performed historically?
In FMchart's composite price history (since June 2020), For KNC, January 2023 (+74.8%) marks the strongest month in the available series, while May 2022 (-56.1%) marks the weakest; positive years are 2 of 5 full calendar years. Governance participation and trading-fee rewards are protocol features, not evidence that KNC's market performance will repeat.
What risks should KNC holders understand?
KNC involves market volatility, smart-contract and bridge risk, governance changes and uncertainty in fee-based rewards. Confusing KNCL with current KNC can also lead to incorrect transfers or price comparisons. Verify the contract address, current voting rules and reward eligibility before staking or migrating tokens.
