Nancy Giordano presents Holochain
- 1. A FUTURIST’S VIEW ON (THE ALTERNATIVE TO BLOCKCHAIN) Nancy Giordano March/April 2018
- 2. Nancy Giordano 03.09.18 The problem you are looking to solve… depends on which door you walk through COMP SCI GURU STRATEGIC FUTURIST SOCIAL STRUCTURE INNOVATOR SYSTEMS LIBERATOR POLITICAL THEORISTTECH INVESTOR COMMUNITY INNOVATOR FINANCIAL DISRUPTOR BUSINESS INNOVATOR
- 3. The mounting issues I worry about with increasingly centralized systems... Digital Privacy Data Security Concentration of wealth/access (need for more inclusion/participation) Fragile Systems Cost barriers to exponential/radical innovation Problems with interoperability Mutual sovereignty/individual agency
- 4. Developing the tools and platforms for open sourcing the next economy
- 5. Truly distributed apps + computing to more effectively foster social coordination Developing the tools and platforms for open sourcing the next economy
- 6. Truly distributed apps + computing to more effectively foster social coordination Providing an easily accessible gateway to the distributed web Developing the tools and platforms for open sourcing the next economy
- 7. A more Human Internet WHY? HOW? To enable more effective social coordination, at any scale. By putting Humans in the center (vs applications).
- 8. Nancy Giordano 03.09.18 A more Human Internet WHY? HOW? To enable more effective social coordination, at any scale. By putting Humans in the center (vs applications). INNOVATIONS Agent-centric (vs token or data-centric) • Multi-perspective (vs mono) • Each application has its own holochain / “source chain” (vs everyone holds) • Lightweight enough that everyone can be a full participant (even on mobile) • Ability to handle microtransactions at sclale • No mining, no cryptocurrency required
- 9. Holochain eliminates bottlenecks that make blockchains unfit to build the decentralized world we want Centralized Decentralized Distributed + Interconnected
- 10. TRADITIONAL BLOCKCHAIN Centralized network-wide consensus validation 99.99% of data created is discarded Network MUST update in unison, creating a supercomputer that can only process one perspective Trust is network-wide or bust Mono-perspective Data-centric HOLOCHAIN Distributed network for individualized validation All data is held, and is considered valuable Network updates in parallel instead of in unison Trust generated on an individual basis Multi-perspective; holographic storage Agent-centric
- 11. Holochain Ethereum/ Blockchain IPFS Relational Databases Decentralized Architecture Distributed App Environment Secure Hash Chains DHT (Distributed Hash Table) Data Integrity Custom Data Validations Scaling Load Required by Client Variable (<<100%) 100% (for full client) Variable 0%
- 13. a fully distributed application hosting platform which puts cloud hosting in the hands of the users Building an ecosystem, and innovating by design CLUTTER HOLO CHAT FRACTALWIKI COINTOSS Distributed version of Twitter Multi-room P2P chat (like distributed Slack) A hierarchical Wiki App for trustable random initiation
- 14. What does an ecosystem built on Holo/Holochain enable? • More control of your data; you choose what to share with whom • New types of applications with more flexibility of use and interaction • Fast microtransactions that can handle credit-card scale processing • Interoperability of Apps Applications built on Holochain can be used to create distributed clones of existing technologies, to bootstrap emerging technologies...and to deliver on the promise of true integration
- 15. Potential Applications? A rideshare app run by riders and drivers, without a corporation in the middle dictating terms. Holo hosts would get paid for helping host a website where anyone can book a ride Emergency Responders all to coordinate in the immediate aftermath of a disaster, without needing a connection to central, remote server/data center. Holo apps run just fine on a mesh network. A community of rural homeowners who generate, and share electricity using a combination of renewable energy sources (solar panels, windmills, water turbines). Holochain enables these microtransactions.

- 18. What folks are discovering... More than all of this technical knowledge, however, the reason why I support Holochain is its community. It is both literally and figuratively a magical group of people. None of the people seemed to be there to get wealthy: all of them were passionate about building something better. Of restoring the internet to its former glory, before behemoths sucked up all the value. -Tristan Roberts Enough people are tired of governmental and corporate invasions into their privacy to look for alternatives. But so far the tools for large-scale protection and coordination haven’t been available. Now they are. -Moritz Bierling
- 19. What folks are discovering... Today’s advocates of blockchain and digital currencies describe the potential for more privacy, transparency, accountability, efficiency and competition in all forms of commerce, finance and bureaucracy. Some see blockchain as providing technologies for democracy itself, from elections to budgeting…some fascinating applications in the fields of logistics, inventory and supply chain management. Despite these advances, there has been a growing backlash from opinion leaders as the technology’s drawbacks become better known. - Jem Bendell Holochain is not really like anything I’ve seen before, so this code review won’t be quite like anything you’ve read from me before. The Holochain scalable distributed computing model seems to be taking decentralization to a new level, but bloody hell, is this thing just too good to be true? - Andre Cronje
