This is a detailed document explaining technical information about the $KWIC Token use cases and the first 24 month distribution plan.

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.\
