- Minting (both types) and transfers to user wallets (what I call to Vertex U, the set of 4000+ users). On-chain. H2U and E2U in both blue and orange (see my digraphs posted at github for kag and for kau)
- Physical redemptions. H2E blue. Not all traffic on this arc. System redemptions also occur here.
