What is Holo?
Holochain (HOT) is a decentralized application platform that takes advantage of peer-to-peer networking for the processing of agent-centric agreement and consensus mechanisms between users.

On the Holochain network no true global consensus is maintained. Instead each agent in the public blockchain maintains a private fork that is managed and stored in a limited way on the public blockchain with a distributed hash table. This enables every device on a network to function independently, and only requires the synchronization of data when necessary, or agreed upon by users. This means Holochain has a higher scalability for decentralized Apps hosted on Holochain.

The Holo ecosystem relies on hosts that provide processing and storage for distributed applications while earning redeemable credits. Holochain Dapps can be developed with JavaScript or Lisp, with support for front-end systems using CSS, HTML, and JavaScript.
