KIWI : The Wounded Birdy That Came Back to Life

KIWI is a proof-of-work mineable ERC token on Ethereum

Back in 2018, when I found the world of mineable ERC20/EIP918 tokens — the real cryptocurrency on Ethereum — I was fascinated with the KIWI Token project. KIWI had noble goals, active and nice community, and a perky logo.

I was busy working on a 0xBitcoin DEX at that time, and we agreed to collaborate with the KIWI project later. For various reasons, KIWI project dwindled down and the community forum become a ghost town. But KIWI Token was far from dead!

During KIWI’s hibernation period, in 2019, I tried to buy and collect as many KIWI tokens as I could get, but that wasn’t too many. People did not want to part from their hard-mined tokens. I bought some OTC, and found some in ForkDelta — and that was all. More than 350 million tokens were mined, but these were nowhere to be found.

I was strangely obsessed with the thought “KIWI Token is not dead, it is still alive.” Eventually, I decided to revive the project myself.

Unlike with most other ERC20 projects, reviving this project made sense because — similar to 0xBitcoin — KIWI is a genuinely decentralized: the token is mined according to EIP-918 standard. It is a real cryptocurrency.

Today, KIWI Token is listed in various decentralized exchanges, there is a CEX listing awaiting, a new website, new Twitter account, and new Discord group.

KIWI can be used for NFT purchases in OpenSea, it is included in Discord’s Tippi bot, it is listed in CoinGecko and Blockfolio, and today — drumroll — there is this new beginning with Medium!

Find all the new links and exchanges in the new website — and stay tuned!

KIWI is learning to fly!
