Holochain
An open-source framework for building secure, reliable, and performant peer-to-peer applications.
What is Holochain?
Holochain is an open-source framework for developing peer-to-peer applications (hApps) that operate without centralized servers. It provides high levels of security, reliability, and performance by running applications on users' devices, giving users full control over their data and interactions. The framework is designed to eliminate single points of failure and maintain functionality even with network disruptions.
Developers building decentralized applications (dApps) who need a peer-to-peer architecture that prioritizes user data sovereignty and avoids centralized servers. It is also for those creating applications where robust operation in distributed environments is critical.
Developers choose Holochain for its emphasis on user sovereignty and decentralization, enabling applications where users retain ownership of their data without relying on central authorities. Its peer-to-peer architecture with built-in cryptographic security offers a unique alternative to traditional server-based or blockchain-based decentralized systems.
