KAWAI Token Implementation Strategy

Executive Summary

This document outlines a strategic implementation plan for the KAWAI token, inspired by Floki coin's successful evolution from a meme coin to a comprehensive ecosystem with real utility. The strategy proposes a phased approach that starts with a simple meme coin focused on community building and gradually evolves toward the advanced decentralized AI processing network described in the KAWAI whitepaper.
