Update Feb 2, 2018: This article was written before RaiBlocks rebranded to NANO. I am leaving occurrences of RaiBlocks for historical purposes. Wherever you see RaiBlocks, you can substitute the word…
Holochain is a framework for writing fully distributed peer-to-peer applications. It is not based on blockchain technology. Nor is Holochain a single platform like Ethereum. It is rather like a decentralized Ruby on Rails, a toolkit that produces stand-alone programs but for serverless high-profile applications. Different from blockchain alternatives and as shown in this benchmark (based on the Holochain prototype), it actually works and performs better than Ethereum by several orders of magnitude.
In Hashgraph, you can see how different agents are each building a different “reality.” Then they use some metadata about each agent’s state to enable them to build consensus based on gossip.
The goal of bringing basic, decentralised payments to the masses remains outstanding due to Hard scaling problems. These problems are rooted in the mechanics of consensus algorithms and fundamental limits in our ability to shuttle data around a global network.
Blockchain is not only crappy technology but a bad vision for the future. Its failure to achieve adoption to date is because systems built on trust, norms, and institutions inherently function better…
This is the first article in a series exploring the underlying concepts behind the modern decentralized systems, including the Keep network. How would you go about quickly and efficiently storing and…
A deep dive into Holochain - what some are calling an evolution on blockchain technology, operating "in parallel to BitTorrent to power fully distributed apps"
What value does Holo offer its investors? This question arises more frequently and becomes more important as the Holo ICO progresses. We’ve written about our Ethical ICO before, and the fact that…
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 Holodchain 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?
Incubated through the Open Identity Exchange, the Distributed Ledger Foundation (DLF) is a technology agnostic, non-profit organization composed of business, academic, and legal thought leaders. The foundation is dedicated to establishing the highest standards of trust and governance for distributed ledger technology (DLT). The DLF and its members work together to jointly fund and participate in research and education programs and project initiatives.
Blockstream is the leading provider of blockchain technologies, on the forefront of work in cryptography and distributed systems. From fraud to counterfeiting, from security to confidentiality, from accountability to transparency, our mission is to solve problems that undermine trust in today's financial systems.
DNA is a decentralized distributed network protocol based on blockchain technology and is implemented in Golang. Through peer-to-peer network, DNA can be used to digitize assets and provide financial service, including asset registration, issuance, transfer, etc.
Ethereum is a decentralized platform for applications that run exactly as programmed without any chance of fraud, censorship or third-party interference. Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third-party interference. These apps run on a custom built blockchain, an enormously powerful shared global infrastructure that can move value around and represent the ownership of property.

ConsenSys is a global formation of technologists and entrepreneurs building the infrastructure, applications, and practices that enable a decentralized world.
Hyperledger is an open source collaborative effort created to advance cross-industry blockchain technologies. It is a global collaboration, hosted by The Linux Foundation, including leaders in finance, banking, IoT, supply chain, manufacturing and technology.
Kadena is the leader in distributed digital ledgers, with the first secure, scalable platform and simplified smart contract language designed for business. Kadena helps organizations achieve more with blockchain.
A keep is an off-chain container for private data. Keeps help contracts harness the full power of the public blockchain — enabling deep interactivity with private data.
