{% hint style="info" %}
The $KWIC Token is a CIP-68 Cardano native crypto currency created as a utility token to power the KWIC ecosystem. This token should never be considered a financial investment.

This is a detailed document explaining technical information about the $KWIC Token use cases and the first 24 month distribution plan. Once the first 24 month distribution plan has been completed a new distribution plan will be implemented, to learn more about this see the [Token cycle](/kwic-token-paper/token-cycle/how-it-works.md)section.\

At the heart of any successful token is its adoption and continued usage, underpinned by clear and valuable use cases. We understand that launching and ensuring the sustainability of a token is a difficult process that must be respected, that is why we've set our first distribution to be 24 months. We have studied positive and negative real-world examples of how governments manage their economies, this has helped us build our long term plans for sustainable growth.\

$KWIC is the currency that fuels the KWIC ecosystem, it is needed to purchase in game [KWICverse Credits](/kwic-token-paper/kwicverse-credits/information.md), spending directly on obtaining rare/ 1 of 1 NFT items, powering The Forge and upgrading certain KWIC NFTs. Whenever the $KWIC token is used for these purposes, a large portion of it will be redirected back into the economy via the [Token cycle](/kwic-token-paper/token-cycle/how-it-works.md).\
