KevaCoin by Community
This project created to keep going Kevacoin Core ecosystem.
Contains QT and Boost updates, minor cosmetic changes, it's 100% compatible with Kevacoin Network.
Instead of master use kvazar branch as main.
The master branch required for legacy contributions and get updates from the original upstream only.
Join the development by sending PR or just open Issue for any questions!
What is Kevacoin?
Kevacoin is a decentralized open source key-value data store based on Litecoin (which is in turn based on Bitcoin) cryptocurrency. Kevacoin is largely influenced by Namecoin https://namecoin.org, even though it serves very different purposes and works very differently.
What does it do?
- Securely record keys and their values. Size of value is up to
3072bytes. No hard limits on the number of keys. - Update or delete the keys and their values.
- Maintain network-unqiue namespaces. Keys are grouped under namespaces to avoid name conflicts.
- Transact the digital currency kevacoins (KVA).
What can it be used for?
As a decentralized key-value database, it can be used to store data for all kinds of applications, such as social media, microblogging, public identity information, notary service. Kevacoin has limited support for smart contracts (similar to Bitcoin and Litecoin), but one can still develop decentralized apps (dApps) on Kevacoin. The data is decentralized while the application logic is developed off the blockchain.
Our major observation for decentralized apps is that data is significantly more important than the application. In fact, that is the case for all kinds of applications. It is common these days to hear that companies rewrite their applications using better technologies, but it is rare for any of them to make big changes to their valuable data.
Take a look at awesome-kevacoin catalog, also you're welcome to share new service there!
