The KBL INO: A New Chapter in Our Journey

November 21 marked a pivotal moment in Kabila's history: the launch of the KBL INO (Initial NFT Offering).

Thanks to the overwhelming support from our community, 5,248 KEY NFTs were purchased via Kabila's Launchpad, successfully securing our funding goals ahead of the next crypto cycle in 2025.

Today, we celebrate not just this achievement but also the fact that our community now exceeds 3,000 unique holders across the KES, SIWAS, KEY, and KEIA collections.

This milestone represents one of our biggest achievements since the inception of the Kabila ecosystem in June 2022, concluding the initial phase of the company.

Kabila's Journey: Milestones Achieved During the Bear Market

In just two and a half years, while navigating a lengthy bear market, Kabila has grown rapidly thanks to the community's support and the team's hard work. This growth is rooted in three fundamental pillars:

1. A Clearly Defined Mission

From day one, we’ve been clear about our goal: transforming how creators and brands fund themselves, connect, and monetize. 

We focused on leveraging Hedera technology and NFTs to build an empowering ecosystem for creators, offering robust yet easy-to-use tools tailored specifically to creators’ and communities’ needs.

To date, over 350 creators and projects have trusted Kabila to launch their collections. Together, we’ve created and sold over 185,000 NFTs, generating more than $1.8 million in sales volume. 

These achievements reinforce our tireless commitment to the mission that has defined us since day one.

2. An Incredible Community

Since minting our first 100 KES NFTs in July 2022, the Kabila community has consistently grown and supported the ecosystem.

We’re proud to have created a space where followers, holders, creators, users, and partners coexist—each with unique interests but all vital to the ecosystem's success. The Kabila community not only motivates us to move forward but also forms the foundation for all our strategic decisions!

We’ve worked with transparency and dedication to ensure every community member feels part of this project because we know that we wouldn’t be here without them.

3. Products That Transform the Experience

From the beginning, we understood that user experience is key. That’s why we’ve developed an ecosystem of products addressing creators’ and fans’ needs:

• Kabila Wallet: A fast and secure self-custody wallet available on Chrome, Android, and iOS. It allows users to manage assets, create accounts, and connect with the best DApps in the Hedera ecosystem. It also supports advanced operations like bulk NFT minting and transfers.
• Kabila Tools/Launchpad: A no-code platform offering over 10 tools for creating, launching, and managing NFTs. Our self-service launchpad has become a hallmark of Hedera, making NFT sales as simple as using Shopify.
• Kabila Plazas: Tokenized social spaces representing the future of digital communities, enabling holders to connect, monetize, and grow together.
• Kabila Market: A comprehensive marketplace for primary and secondary sales, featuring advanced tools like offers, notifications, and a rewards system. Improvements are on the way in the coming months.
• Kabila Academy: Education is key in Web3. Through our academy, we’ve empowered creators and users with educational content on funding, marketing, and community-building in this new space.

4. A Dedicated Team

Kabila wouldn’t exist without a passionate team deeply committed to Hedera, Web3, and the potential of NFTs. Today, our multidisciplinary team of 10 works tirelessly to develop tools and spaces that revolutionize opportunities for creators and businesses worldwide.

5. Diversified Funding

From the start, we’ve secured the resources necessary to operate and grow. Our revenue streams include private investors, platform fees, NFT sales, royalties, collaborations with blockchain foundations, European innovation funds, and corporate clients. This diversified approach has made us resilient and prepared for whatever comes next.

6. Strategic Collaborations

We’ve partnered with key organizations such as The HBAR Foundation, The Hashgraph Association, Google Cloud, The Horizon Europe Program, and leading projects like Earthlings, HSuite, and SaucerSwap, among others.

The Future of $KBL: What’s Next

Following our INO, we’re excited about what lies ahead for $KBL and the ecosystem. Key highlights include:

• TGE (Token Generation Event): The token launch date will be announced soon, ideally before the holiday season.
• Staking: We’ll introduce staking in two phases, with additional rewards for those staking their SIWAS and KES NFTs. Details will be shared soon.
• DEX Listings: $KBL will be available on major Hedera DEXs.
• Increased Airdrop: KEY NFT holders will now receive 1,795 $KBL tokens (instead of 1,200), distributed over 12 months.
• Platform Rewards: Following the TGE, the $KBL token will serve as a reward for specific actions performed within the Kabila Wallet and DApps.
• Voting Power: As the ecosystem evolves and more holders join the community and platform, a $KBL voting system will be implemented to enable the community to decide on new platform features, project grants, and other important matters.
• Kabila Launchpad Fee Reduction: Launchpads that choose $KBL as the payment method will benefit from a 50% fee reduction, lowering the commission from 4.9% to 2.45%.

Thank You

I want to end this announcement with sincere gratitude to our community. From the first 100 KES NFTs to the 3,000+ holders we now have, you are the foundation of everything we’ve built.

Kabila isn’t just a platform—it’s a community, an ecosystem.

We’re here to radically transform how we fund, build communities, and do business online.

Kabila is just getting started, and I’m thrilled about the incredible ecosystem we’ll create together to support creators and communities worldwide.

The coming months will be amazing. Let’s keep building!
