Is KrovaCoin live?
Not yet. It currently exists on a private regtest chain only, used for development. There is no public testnet or mainnet, and no token sale. See the status banner on the Home page and the Legal page.
Where does new KROV come from?
Nowhere, after genesis. The full 72,000,000,000 KROV supply was created once, in block 1. Every block since mints exactly zero. See Transparency.
If nothing new is minted, how are stakers paid?
Transaction fees, plus a share of the Staking Rewards Pool – a 25.2B KROV genesis allocation that pays out to stakers on a fixed, consensus-enforced 20-year declining schedule. See How Staking Works.
Is the team allocation locked?
Yes, on-chain: 7.2B KROV split into 36 individually timelocked (CLTV) monthly tranches, with a 12-month cliff from genesis. No key or promise can spend a tranche early – the blockchain itself refuses the transaction. This is the only allocation besides the Staking Rewards Pool that’s actually consensus-enforced; see Transparency for what that distinction means for the other four allocations.
Can I mine KrovaCoin?
No – KrovaCoin is Proof-of-Stake. There’s a brief Proof-of-Work bootstrap window at the very start of each network (a handful of blocks) purely to get a chain started before any coins exist to stake with; after that, blocks are produced exclusively by staking. See How Staking Works.
Where can I get coins?
Nowhere yet – there’s no public network, sale, or exchange listing. Any offer to sell you KROV right now is not from this project.
How do I verify a download is genuine?
Once signed release binaries exist, every release will publish a SHA-256 checksum file signed with the project’s GPG key. See Downloads for the verification commands. Until then, build from source and read the code yourself – see Node Setup.
