While it solves plenty of problems related to data integrity and validation, that has ramifications that extend beyond the decentralization space, Holochain’s primary purpose is to run distributed apps.
Bitcoin’s central mechanism — the Blockchain — is a monumental achievement in computer science. And from that central achievement, many other cryptocurrencies have emerged attempting to improve the…
Let us start with a rather simple but necessary statement: The internet is as amazing as it is dreadful. It is time to fix it, make it more human, and holochain wants to be this tool.
Holochain is a framework for writing fully distributed peer-to-peer applications. It is not based on blockchain technology. Nor is Holochain a single platform like Ethereum. It is rather like a decentralized Ruby on Rails, a toolkit that produces stand-alone programs but for serverless high-profile applications. Different from blockchain alternatives and as shown in this benchmark (based on the Holochain prototype), it actually works and performs better than Ethereum by several orders of magnitude.
In Hashgraph, you can see how different agents are each building a different “reality.” Then they use some metadata about each agent’s state to enable them to build consensus based on gossip.
The goal of bringing basic, decentralised payments to the masses remains outstanding due to Hard scaling problems. These problems are rooted in the mechanics of consensus algorithms and fundamental limits in our ability to shuttle data around a global network.
A deep dive into Holochain - what some are calling an evolution on blockchain technology, operating "in parallel to BitTorrent to power fully distributed apps"
What value does Holo offer its investors? This question arises more frequently and becomes more important as the Holo ICO progresses. We’ve written about our Ethical ICO before, and the fact that…
Holochain is not really like anything I've seen before, so this code review won't be quite like anything you've read from me before. The Holodchain scalable distributed computing model seems to be taking decentralization to a new level, but bloody hell, is this thing just too good to be true?
Ceptr is a platform for next-gen networking, providing a protocol for pluggable protocols, distributed data integrity on Holochains, and truly distributed application hosting
Ceptr is organized as a do-ocracy -- meaning that we want to empower those who will step forward to take action. Unlike a meritocracy which is based on the merit of one's past performance, a do-ocracy is based on empowering those who commit to "DO" things.
Holochain enables a distributed web with user autonomy built directly into its architecture and protocols. Data is about remembering our lived and shared experiences. Distributing the storage and processing of that data can change how we coordinate and interact. With digital integration under user control, Holochain liberates our online lives from corporate control over our choices and information.
Holographic storage for distributed applications -- a validating monotonic DHT "backed" by authoritative hashchains for data provenance (a Ceptr sub-project)
Holographic storage for distributed applications -- a validating monotonic DHT "backed" by authoritative hashchains for data provenance (a Ceptr sub-project)
Welcome to the Holochain developer portal. Holochain is a tool for creating and running distributed applications. This site is for people who have a general understanding of what Holochain is, and what to use it for, and would like to know how to build a Holochain application.
Holo is a bridge to transition from today’s centralized infrastruture to greater decentralization and autonomy with Holochain’s application platform. Not only is Holo a Holochain app, Holo supports and extends other Holochain apps.
Holo is a bridge to link our advanced crypto technology, Holochain, and everyday users. This document explains how Holo works and the business model and funding that support it. Holochain delivers on the dreams of making decentralized computing easy and real. It provides the underling cryptographic fabric to maintain data integrity across unlimited peers without requiring consensus.
Promether marks the end of surveillance and brings about a new era of online privacy,security, and anonymity. By merging blockchain technology, decentralized networks, and state-of-the-art encryption, Promether gives power and control back to the users.
