Kohenoor (KEN)

Official Whitepaper (Brief Unified Genesis Edition)

Executive Summary

Kohenoor KEN (KEN) is the unified evolution of two earlier ecosystem deployments: Kohenoor KEN (Payments)-KEN (P) and Kohenoor KEN (Corporate)-KEN (C). KEN is a premium ERC-20 asset on the Ethereum network, with bridging planned for Binance Smart Chain. KEN is engineered to be the single transactional spine of the Kohenoor ecosystem; integrating AI, blockchain, and decentralized finance to deliver human-centric financial empowerment. KEN’s maximum supply is capped at 101,966, but the actual circulating supply may remain below this cap due to the burn-to-unlock mechanics described in this paper. All products of the Kohenoor Ecosystem will ultimately be fueled by KEN. Using the ecosystem without KEN will generally mean higher cost, lower priority, and reduced chances of early access. KEN aligns adoption with value creation by keeping the entire ecosystem’s activity tokenized, positioning KEN holders as ecosystem investors; benefiting from growth, expansion, and long-term utility demand.

4) Tokenomics (Unified KEN)

Supply Policy

Maximum Supply Cap: 101,966 KEN
Fixed cap: No minting
Burning: No burning beyond the initial merge/unlock process (burns exist only to retire testnet supply and unlock unified KEN)

Allocation

Founders & Core Team — 25% (36-month vesting)
Institutional & Private Investors — 15% (strategic rounds)
Treasury & Reserves — 20% (long-term sustainability)
Staking & Rewards — 10% (KENFI-linked returns)
Ecosystem Development Fund — 10% (R&D and ecosystem grants)
Public Offering — 20% (initial public availability)

5) Testnet-to-Mainnet Transformation (Unified Genesis)

Why two deployments existed

KEN (P) and KEN (C) were deployed to serve different missions during the testing and distribution phase:

KEN (P): For ecosystem users—payments, adoption testing, app participation, and public distribution
KEN (C): For strategic partnerships—tokenized assets, investor alignment, and corporate incentives

Unified asset principle

KEN is the unified asset that carries features of both deployments into one token with one supply policy, one core settlement layer, and long-term scarcity.

6) Supply Dynamics (Equations + Unlock Model)

Corporate Conversion (KEN C → KEN)

1 KEN (C) = 1 KEN
100,000 KEN (C) unlocks 100,000 KEN
This is the strategic stream designed for partnerships and ecosystem investors.

Payments Conversion (KEN P → KEN)

KEN (P) is intentionally weighted to unlock a limited amount of unified KEN:

KEN (P) maximum supply: 1,000,000
Entire KEN (P) supply unlocks up to: 1,966 KEN
Unlocking is gradual, aligned with KEN (P) public distribution and exchange listings.

January 2030 cap event

By January 2030, KEN (P) is expected to reach its maximum supply cap of 1,000,000. At that point:

KEN (P) available to the foundation shall be burned to unlock unified KEN
Public-held KEN (P) remains with the public and cannot be force-collected for burning

Why 1,966 KEN is not guaranteed

Because KEN (P) is held by the public, there is no guarantee that the exact maximum of 1,966 KEN will be unlocked from the KEN (P) stream. If public holders keep KEN (P) and do not return it for burn/unlock pathways, less unified KEN will be unlocked.

Therefore:

KEN’s maximum supply is capped at 101,966
But KEN’s actual max supply and circulating supply may remain lower than 101,966 permanently

This makes KEN structurally scarce by design.

7) Roadmap

Q4 2025: DEX listing on Ethereum
Q1 2026: Mudharba fund launch and DeFi dashboard integration
Q2 2026: Bridge deployment to Binance Smart Chain
Q3 2026: AI-driven financial intelligence integration (KENFI 2.0)
2027 onward: Institutional partnerships, DeFi governance, and yield expansion

8) Security & Technology

KEN is built with safety and reliability in mind, including secure ownership practices, operational controls, and interoperability readiness for future bridging. The ecosystem prioritizes transparency, verifiable burns for merge/unlock processes, and a fixed-cap supply model to support long-term confidence.

9) Ecosystem Integration

KEN powers and connects the Kohenoor suite of platforms, functioning as the central financial and transactional layer across:

KENFI — AI-powered investment intelligence
KENEX — Global asset tokenization and exchange utilities
KENCOM — Decentralized communication and payments
ProEdge — AI and BI professional training
Knowledge Gateway — Foundational education in DeFi and technology

KEN Token Architecture & Supply Mechanics

One Unified Asset. Two Testnet Origins. Permanent Scarcity.

KEN is a hyper-scarce digital asset designed through a multi-stage testnet architecture and finalized as a single unified mainnet token.
Its supply is not minted freely — it is unlocked only through burning, ensuring long-term value alignment for users, partners, and investors.

1. Origins of KEN

Before the unified mainnet launch, KEN was tested and validated through two purpose-built deployments, each serving a distinct role in the ecosystem.

KEN (C) — Corporate & Strategic Token

Purpose

Designed for strategic partners, ecosystem investors, and institutional alignment
Used to represent tokenized strategic value, long-term commitment, and early ecosystem backing

Key Characteristics

Fixed maximum supply: 100,000 KEN (C)
Deployed on BNB Smart Chain
Not inflationary
Not a payment token

Conversion Logic

1 KEN (C) = 1 KEN (Mainnet)

When KEN (C) is burned, it directly unlocks the same amount of KEN.

🔓 100,000 KEN (C) → unlocks up to 100,000 KEN

KEN (C) serves as the backbone of KEN’s strategic supply.

KEN (P) — Payments & Public Utility Token

Purpose

Designed for ecosystem users and the public
Used for:
- In-ecosystem payments
- Alpha & beta application access
- Early public participation via centralized exchanges

Key Characteristics

Maximum supply: 1,000,000 KEN (P)
Publicly distributed over time
Supply is time-locked and gradually released
Not convertible 1:1

Unlock Ratio

1,000,000 KEN (P) → unlocks up to 1,966 KEN

KEN (P) exists to test real adoption, not to inflate supply.

2. Unified KEN — Mainnet Asset

KEN is the final, unified asset that carries the combined utility of both testnet deployments.

KEN Mainnet Utilities

Ecosystem payments
Rewards & incentives
Strategic participation
Governance & premium access
Backing for products, platforms, and partnerships

KEN does not mint freely.
It is unlocked only when testnet value is sacrificed.

3. Burn-to-Unlock Supply Model

KEN follows a strict burn-to-unlock mechanism:

From KEN (C)

Burned at a 1:1 ratio
Directly unlocks KEN

From KEN (P)

Burned programmatically
Full supply unlocks up to 1,966 KEN
Public-held tokens cannot be force-burned

This ensures:

No artificial inflation
No hidden minting
No forced migration

4. Timeline & Supply Control

KEN (P) is gradually released as it:
- Lists on centralized exchanges
- Is held and used by the public
The foundation-held portion is locked
January 2030:
- KEN (P) reaches maximum supply
- Any KEN (P) held by the foundation is burned
- Burning triggers unlocking of KEN

⚠️ Because public holders are not required to burn KEN (P),
the full 1,966 KEN may never be unlocked.

5. Maximum Supply — Theory vs Reality

Theoretical Maximum Supply

101,966 KEN

100,000 from KEN (C)
Up to 1,966 from KEN (P)

Practical Reality

KEN’s total and circulating supply may always remain LOWER than 101,966

Reasons:

Public-held KEN (P) may never return for burning
Unburned KEN (P) permanently reduces unlocked KEN
Scarcity increases naturally with adoption

6. Why This Model Is Different

✔ No inflation
✔ No arbitrary minting
✔ No forced token swaps
✔ No dilution of long-term holders
✔ Scarcity enforced by design

KEN is not created by promises —
it is unlocked by commitment, usage, and sacrifice.

7. Final Note

KEN’s supply mechanics are intentionally conservative.

The system rewards:

Long-term believers
Strategic partners
Real ecosystem usage

And penalizes:

Short-term inflation
Artificial hype
Unsustainable token economics

KEN is designed to remain scarce — even below its own maximum cap. Moreover, annual supply release is capped at 15,000 KEN regardless of number of testnet tokens burnt. It is however, mandatory to burn equal or more testnet tokens to unlock mainnet KEN.
