 ## Features
 
 - **Distributed SQL Database:** RQLite-backed, Raft-consensus, ACID transactions, automatic failover.
-- **Key-Value Storage:** Namespaced, replicated, CRUD operations, prefix queries.
 - **Pub/Sub Messaging:** Topic-based, real-time, namespaced, automatic cleanup.
 - **Peer Discovery & Management:** Nodes discover peers, bootstrap support, health monitoring.
 - **Application Isolation:** Namespace-based multi-tenancy, per-app config.
