1. Abstract
2021 has brought the largest bull run in cryptocurrency history, launching countless
cryptocurrencies sky-high. The noise made by the price rallies attracted new investors, new
developers, and more capital to crypto than ever before, taking the total cryptocurrency market
cap into the trillions.
With the increased attention being paid to the cryptocurrency sector, the development of new
projects exploded. Among the new trends that emerged, one area of development made the
biggest splash - meme tokens. While the number of new dog-based meme tokens skyrocketed,
it became clear there was very little difference between them. None displayed a true use case,
and the extent of token differentiation seemed to begin and end at the percentage of
distribution. Until now, no dog meme coin has offered a true utility or value proposition that puts
it head and shoulders above the rest.
Enter Kawakami — the one-of-a-kind community-driven project aiming to be far more than just
a meme token. Instead, Kawakami aspires to become the first ever decentralized meme token
ecosystem with a native, decentralized community token - KAWA.

  2. Kawakami
Kawakami, born on May 13, 2021, is a new Inu project that has set its sights on becoming more
than just another beta in the pack. Rather, KAWA token holders and developers are convinced
Kawakami will become the mighty alpha — the pack leader, as is destined for one derived from
Japanese wolves descent. Kawakami will bring order and leadership to the plethora of
wandering Inus and give them a cryptocurrency ecosystem to call home. Not only will Inu
tokens be welcomed, but the unique and passionate community members of Kawakami will be
ready to welcome them in with open arms.

  3. Values
Kawakami is a natural-born leader. As such, it has three main values in mind — integrity, vision,
and humility. These are the values that will guide the ecosystem and allow Kawakami to create
the most inclusive, serving, loyal, and powerful community in the sector.
Kawakami also aims at being fully transparent, fully community-driven, and completely
trustworthy. We believe that this approach is the key for longevity - not only for Kawakami and
KAWA - but the entire Inu family.

4. Longevity
Kawakami has a noble ambition - to be more than just a passing cryptocurrency project that will
disappear in a few months, never to be heard from again. Our goal is to be here for the long run
- to watch the cryptosphere grow, mature, become adopted, and eventually take over the world
of finance. We hope to be more than casual observers, however. Kawakami has the potential to
be nothing short of the powerhouse for all meme tokens in crypto. As such, our team of highly
experienced developers are constantly establishing new use cases, reformulating existing ones,
and establishing key partnerships with token and their communities throughout the meme coin
space. All the while, the community will continue to flourish, earn, and reap the full extent of
what the crypto, and DeFi industry in particular, have to offer.

     5. Governance: The KawaDAO
Kawakami is fully decentralized, meaning as a community member, you call the shots as to what
the future of the project will look like. We value “idea meritocracy”, listening and acting upon all
the best ideas, no matter where they come from. Best of all, Kawakami is completely inclusive
and willing to accept anyone who wants to join its ever-growing family.

It is with these values in mind that we will create KawaDAO, the core governance structure for
Kawakami. Although the team are dedicated to establishing a solid foundation for the project,
they also recognize the importance of upholding the standard of decentralization and will hand
over control of the project’s future to the community in due course. To do this a third party end-
to-end Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) platform will be utilized to enable our
community of investors to create and vote on proposals regarding the governance of
Kawakami. Eligibility to participate in voting procedures will be granted by holding xKAWA, the
project’s governance token.

     6. Security
Trust is mission critical to the long term success of Kawakami. As such, we acknowledge that
security will play an integral role in our success. This is why Kawakami Inu began the project by
conducting a comprehensive security audit by an industry leading third-party blockchain
solution and tech company, TechRate. The audit was completed in May 2021, and we are
pleased to say that Kawakami passed all critical and non-critical checkpoints with flying colors.
The company searched for low severity, medium severity, and high severity issues, finding
none.

 Token contract
All the contracts have passed externally conducted audits by InterFi Network with no issues in
the code identified. The contract audit reports can be found at the end of this whitepaper.

7. Liquidity
As mentioned, Kawakami is fully dedicated to its community, and our goal is to always ensure
the community members feel as safe and secure as possible. To best facilitate this, we locked
the initial liquidity on Uniswap for 6 months on the Unicrypt platform. That means that you will
always have the ability to trade, with a 0% chance of being the victim of an exit scam. The
liquidity lock will be extended as we get closer to the unlock date. We also strive to add more
liquidity to our pool in order to increase price stability, and have added more funds to our
liquidity pool several time since the launch in September.

     8. Ecosystem
The goal of the Kawakami ecosystem is to create a new, modern, and state-of-the-art platform
dedicated solely to the growth of meme tokens. With the critical role that meme tokens have
played thus far in the bull run (and likely ones to follow),the community has decided to pursue
multiple product offerings, including:

       KawaFarm

         community.

These products will allow the community to use KAWA, as well as many other memetoken family
members for farming, redistribution, and much more. There is no better way to bring utility to
the meme coin space and allow you to reap the rewards of holding your favorite meme coin.

9. $KAWA Token - The native token
From its genesis, Kawakami has been a decentralized project led by the community. Even
though the developer team has set the initial course for the project, Kawakami community
members will play an integral role in shaping the token’s future journey.

KAWA is the native and flagship token of the Kawakami project and products. KAWA is an
ERC20 (Ethereum) token which was created via a fair launch with no presale, and no team
(deployer) allocation.

With regards to the utility of the KAWA token, it is intended that every Kawakami ecosystem
component will be designed to involve KAWA in some way, either directly (e.g. within the
product) or indirectly (e.g. via a buy back and burn mechanism).

     10. $xKAWA Token - The governance token
While KAWA token is the native token of the Kawakami project and products, we envision one of
the token’s main uses as a farming mechanism. More precisely, farming KAWA will reward users
with a new reward token, xKAWA.

The way this was imagined is for KawaDAO to see the issuance of xKAWA governance tokens,
which will be earned by staking KAWA, as well as other popular meme tokens on the KawaFarm.
A small amount will be reserved for future developments of the ecosystem, which will bring
further value to both KAWA and xKAWA holders.

As mentioned, the tokens will also be used for governance, giving token holders the ability to
make novel proposals or vote on the proposals of others to benefit the KAWA community.
Governance token holders will not only reap financial benefits, but will help drive the future

course of $KAWA and its products.

 6    KAWAKAMI Litepaper
As KAWA matures to a point where it becomes possible and appropriate, a share of revenue will
be disseminated among governance token holders as well. This includes the following:

     1. For every swap successfully conducted on KawaSwap and every staking or unstaking
        action performed on KawaFarm, a percentage of swap and staking fees will be allocated
        and distributed as KAWA, proportional to the holders’ xKAWA share.

     2. As future products launch, additional revenue will come into play, making it increasingly
        profitable to be a governance token holder.

     3. Token holders who engage in yield farming will also be able to stake any dog memecoin
        and subsequently farm xKAWA.

This is just the beginning, and Kawakami is pleased to already report listings on some of the
most well-known names in the industry, with our efforts already being dedicated to reaching
additional platforms.

11. Products
Kawakami is here to become an ecosystem for the entire dog/memetoken family and all tokens
that it contains. To that extent, we are building a number of products that will give memecoins a
purpose. Their communities will have a reason to come to us and be rewarded in a number of
different ways for simply owning their tokens.
While there is likely to be a number of smaller products in years to come, for the time being, we
are mostly focusing on three major projects — KawaFarm, KawaSeed, and KawaSwap.

 KawaFarm
As mentioned, KawaFarm will be our farming product, and also the one that we and our
community are the most excited about. It will be a product that will allow your money to
generate passive income, without you having to do anything but lock your tokens.
The farm will operate in a very simple way. You get to bring your KAWA and favorite Inu
memecoins ock them up, and start getting rewards.
As well as KAWA, Version 1 of the KawaFarm will go live with dog-based memecoin tokens able
to be locked to earn rewards including names like SHIB and KISHU.
Version 2 will expand upon these offerings, enabling liquidity provider tokens to be locked and
allowing smaller memecoin projects to join the KawaFarm. This may also include the ability for
users from other projects to earn more of their own memecoin as well as xKAWA. We plan to
harness this opportunity to build strong partnerships with other projects, thus gaining additional
investor exposure for Kawakami Inu. Any listing fees will be used to fund further growth of the
project.
As explained earlier, participants in the KawaFarm will be rewarded with xKAWA, the Kawakami
governance token. However, you will also be able to exchange them for many other
cryptocurrencies, as soon as xKAWA gets listed on Uniswap, which should come around the
launch of V2 of KawaFarm.
The KawaFarm will usher in a new wave of cross-memecoin collaboration and allow investors
from multiple projects to earn passive income in a single platform.
The official KawaFarm V2 launch date is October 15, 2021.

KawaSeed
We plan to launch a venture capital investment fund named KawaSeed. This will be governed by
holders of xKAWA, who will propose projects for the fund to invest in and place votes to
determine and direct KawaSeed investments. We will endeavour to obtain investment
opportunities in the earliest stages of a project’s growth.

Although there is no reason why KawaSeed could not invest in any early-stage project,
regardless of their genre or use-case, we envision that KawaSeed funds will be deployed to
back new memecoin projects.

The ultimate goal is that we can grow our capital and reputation to the point that KawaSeed is
recognized as one of the go-to venture capital funds for memecoins.

As xKAWA holders will play a key role in the running of KawaSeed, it is intended that a share of
revenue will be directed to them once the fund grows to point where this is appropriate. This
point will be voted and decided on by the KawaDAO.

 KawaSwap
The last of our great three products, but certainly not the least, is KawaSwap. As the name
suggests, KawaSwap is going to be an exchange — a decentralized exchange, (DEX) . It will, of
course, offer the ability to exchange any memecoin, and it will also create an opportunity for
KAWA token holders by granting them a percentage of transaction fees, depending on how
much KAWA they hold.

So, as you can see, our entire ecosystem is oriented towards supporting memecoins and their
communities, which we hope to unite into one massive memecoin community and grant
everyone benefits, regardless of which Inu family member they have in their wallets. KAWA
holders will, of course, be able to benefit the most in their native ecosystem.

KawaSwap should also be expected in Q4, as 2021 starts approaching its end, but more
information about the exact date and time of its release will be published in months to come.
