Holo (HOT) is a cryptocurrency that powers Holochain, an open-source platform designed for distributed applications that do not rely on global consensus, but rather on an agent-centric approach.
Holochain enables developers to create efficient and scalable decentralized applications (dApps), facilitating peer-to-peer interactions without centralized intermediaries.
Main features:
Agent-centric approach: Unlike traditional blockchains that require global consensus, Holochain allows each user to maintain their own record, improving scalability and reducing the need for resource-intensive processes.
Energy efficiency: By not relying on consensus mechanisms like proof of work, Holochain offers a more ecological and sustainable alternative for decentralized applications.
Flexibility for developers: Provides an adaptable framework that allows developers to build a wide range of applications, from social networks to supply chain management systems.
Utilities:
HOT Token: HOT is the ERC-20 token used as a bridge currency on the Holo network. Users can exchange HOT for HoloFuel, the native currency of the platform, which is used to pay for services within the Holo ecosystem.
Hosting decentralized applications: Holo allows hardware owners to share their processing capacity to host dApps, receiving HoloFuel as compensation.
Intermediation-free interaction: Facilitates direct transactions and communications between users, eliminating the need for centralized platforms and enhancing privacy and data control.
Technical document:
Holochain has a technical document titled:
- "Holochain: Distributed Coordination through Scalable Consent, not Global Consensus"
