Long before digital wallets, block explorers, and smart contracts, Southeast Asia thrived on a currency that symbolized trade, trust, and connection; the Kepeng.
These small, round coins, often cast with a square hole in the middle, powered commerce across the vast Majapahit Empire. They moved along trade routes that linked Indonesia to China, India, and beyond, carrying with them not only value, but the cultural and economic heartbeat of a thriving civilization.
In Bali, the Kepeng never truly disappeared. Even today, it remains an important part of ceremonial life and represents a bridge between past and present, a reminder that true value is built on trust, exchange, and shared purpose.
From our headquarters in Bali, Mandala Chain is bringing this storied currency into the future. KPG (Kepeng) is our governance and gas token — the modern, digital counterpart to a currency that once united islands and cultures. Just as the original Kepeng was a tool for connection and growth, KPG will be the lifeblood of a new, borderless economy.
KPG is the functional core of the Mandala Chain ecosystem, powering governance, commerce, and innovation across sovereign chains, enterprises, and governments. Here’s how it will be used:
The original Kepeng fueled one of the most connected and influential empires in Southeast Asia. Today, KPG carries that legacy forward — but this time, the network isn’t limited by geography or sea routes. It’s on-chain, global, and ready to serve the next 100 million users.
KPG is a bridge between tradition and innovation. Between Bali’s ceremonial past and the decentralized future we’re building. And just like the Kepeng that came before it, its value lies not just in the coin itself, but in the trust, connection, and shared prosperity it creates.
The past is our inspiration. The future is being minted on-chain.
