2) What is METAKAWN?
We are convinced that there won’t be a single leading metaverse but a plethora of them, each dedicated to a specific community. We are lucky enough to have grown in a Muslim, open-minded environment where all cultures coexist and we see all the fascinating talents emerging from the community.
Based on this, we aim to build the First Metaverse inspired by #ModernMuslims, for those who share the same values. We aim to bridge the gap between #ModernMuslim creators and their audiences.
The first interesting aspect of this project is how we are approaching it. The MetaKawn Huffaz Club and the utilities it will hold is very meaningful. The narrative behind it is beautiful to explore.
3) Do you have tokenomics for $KWN? Walk us through it.
$KAWN token is the utility coin that will be used within The MetaKawn ecosystem for transactions and interactions. It will comply with Islamic Finance rules and principles regarding currency use and utility.
The following use cases will be available to KAWN Citizen as a use case
Transaction: Kawn Citizen could potentially earn $KAWN through gameplay.

4) How is MetaKawn Huffaz Club beneficial to your members? What can your Genesis NFT do?
We, on the MetaKawn Team, envision scribe the holy Quran in the blockchain.
The total number of avatars in the MetaKawn Huffaz Club is 6.348, corresponding to the sum of Ayats in the Quran. For every Huffaz NFT, one Aya will be dropped to its holder by the last 10 days of the month of Ramadan.
The MetaKawn Huffaz Club provides several utilities that will benefit all stakeholders with getting access to exclusive real and/or virtual experiences, which can include being the first to know about the latest news, VIP access to events, premium content, etc. Similarly, the ownership comes with access to special fan communities.
Moreover, our platform will have a governance club where members can vote on brand decisions, have input on which creators and causes are supported by the Kawn Fund, etc. Beyond that, % of royalties from NFT transactions will go to the Kawn Fund in order to support creators in need and other Charity programs.

9) The market is bearish. In your opinion, does the current market situation affect your plans? How do you plan to be different and “shine brightly” in these times?
MetaKawn is a long-term vision.
There are ups and downs in any market, but if we take a long term view, we won’t be affected.
Our strength comes too from our specific community, which is a strong one around the globe, modern Muslims are shining and impacting positively many fields, we need to rewrite their stories and brighten the narrative behind them.
Also, the opportunities offered by blockchain and metaverse are numerous to creators, which will be continuously enriching.
