============================================

Kindelia is a peer-to-peer functional computer capable of hosting applications
that stay up forever. It uses the [HVM](https://github.com/kindelia/hvm), a blazingly fast functional virtual
that stay up forever. It has no native coin, which means it isn't a
cryptocurrency, but a cryptocomputer. It uses the
[HVM](https://github.com/kindelia/hvm), a blazingly fast functional virtual
machine, to run formally verified apps natively, making it as secure as
mathematically possible. It also replaces expensive Merkle tree insertions by
reversible heaps snapshots, greatly reducing the cost of SSTORE/SLOAD opcodes,
making highly dynamic apps economically viable. In short, Kindelia can be seen
as a massive simplification of Ethereum, with no native currency, greatly
increased security, and greatly reduced layer 1 transaction costs.
reversible heaps snapshots, greatly reducing the cost of SSTORE/SLOAD, making
highly dynamic apps economically viable. It, unlike similar projects, addresses
political and economical centralization. Finally, is very minimal: its full node
requires orders of magnitude less lines of code than alternatives.
