An end-to-end open source P2P app framework

Holochain is a framework for developing and running decentralized applications (dApps) designed to be scalable, efficient and adaptable, featuring a peer-to-peer content distribution protocol, cryptography and hash tables. Unlike traditional blockchain architectures, Holochain uses a distributed hash table (DHT) to enable peer-to-peer communication and data storage, offering greater flexibility and performance for decentralized applications. It addresses effectively scalability challenges and is highly environmentally friendly.

A significant change enabling Holochain’s innovation is its shift from a data-dependent blockchain to an agent-centric system. Unlike blockchain’s need for global consensus, Holochain employs an agent system where each agent maintains a private fork, managed on the blockchain in a limited manner using a distributed hash table. This approach eliminates the scalability issues common to blockchain solutions, allowing decentralized applications (dApps) on Holochain to achieve more with fewer resources.

ThreeFold and Holochain will together go to market, Holochain as application layer being hosted on the ThreeFold Grid.
