Holochain

Holochain is an end-to-end open source P2P app framework that gives digital agency to organizations, markets, and people. By combining cryptography, distributed databases, and consensus-free validation, it enables new forms of coordination and collaboration. Holochain provides an open-source framework for building fully distributed, peer-to-peer applications. It aims to give digital agency to organizations and individuals by using an agent-centric approach where users control their own data, contrasting with server-based or traditional blockchain models. It is described as a combination of BitTorrent, Git, and cryptographic signatures, designed for creating scalable and resilient everyday apps.
