In it's current state, Khepera is a decentralized ethereum token exchange running on the Kovan ethereum test network that allows you to purchase & sell KHEP (ERC-20) tokens.

I built Khepera as an MVP to show what I've been learning & test out the fundamentals of Solidity and ERC-20 tokens on the ethereum blockchain. I also built the project to understand more how programming for blockchain differs from regular web applications in general.

The name has its origin in ancient egyptian mythology and means to "develop" or "come into being". Khepera symbolizes the manifestation of the rising sun. Khepera is often depicted as a scarab beetle or a man with a scarab beetle for a head. Additional details can be found here.

In order to use Khepera you just need a metamask account & some ethereum on the Kovan test network. Head here, sign up with Github, & send the public address for the account you want to receive ethereum on Kovan to get started.
