Kaneva, LLC is a privately owned American video game company based in Atlanta, Georgia and founded in 2004 by Christopher Klaus and Greg Frame.
Kaneva was a 3D virtual world that supported 2D web browsing, social networking and shared media.
[citation needed] Kaneva later decided to use its own technology to develop a virtual world that combined video sharing, social networking and 3D environments.
The source code is hidden, but was available to everyone on the resources page on their developer website which is now defunct and no longer available to the public.
The original Kaneva platform had several competitors during its lifetime, including Roblox, OSgrid.org, Smallworlds, Entropia Universe, Utherverse, IMVU, Active Worlds, vSide, Second Life and Twinity.
