What is Holo?
Holochain is a distributed network, data integrity engine for applications that gives developers a framework for building dApps and is an alternative to the traditional blockchain. The platform ensures infinite scaling capacity through a peer-to-peer network. It uses a validation mechanism called DHT (Distributed Hash Table) where each user has its own chain. Every transaction is signed and counter-signed by each party and then published in the shared Distributed Hash Table.
The regular blockchain-projects are trying to become more and more decentralized, Holochain has taken another way by creating a unique distributed network that reduces congestion and shade. The creators of the project Eric Harris-Braun and Arthur Brock, state that they have built a next-generation enterprise-grade network similar to a blockchain, but better. Holochain's scalability has no limits, supports dApps hosting, and maintains the cloud-based IT infrastructure.
Holochain is an open-source framework that includes Holochain token (HOT) and the Holo Platform for hosting Holochain dApps over the cloud. The Holochain core is written in Go, and the developers are going to add new languages to make the platform more versatile and flexible.
