Kevacoin is a blockchain system that is designed based on the bitcoin and litecoin code. As the name tells itself, kevacoin is made up by two parts, keva and coin. coin is easy to understand, it follows the main stream to name a new block chain system, while keva is an abberivation for key-value. It is a key-value store built on blockchain. Kevacoin is not only a cryptocurrenty, but also a blockhcain that allows users to add, update and delete key-value pairs. It is also influenced by another cryptocurrency called Namecoin. Well if we talk a little bit further, Namecoin is a name regustration system, while Kevacoin is a key-value store.

Now lets go back to talk a little bit about Kevacoin's token, the Kevacoin bolckchain system will totally issue out 1.05 billion KVA tokens and its PoW algorithum is Randomkeva, the time to generate each block is two minutes and reward is 500 KVA tokens. the reward will halved every four years. The difficulty adjustment is every block, not like bitcoin's 2016 bolck. There is no ICO, premined tokens or developer fees as well.
