Tracking A Constantly Evolving Ecosystem
It's been an exciting journey through the decentralized Holochain ecosystem in the last year! Our commitment to keeping our database dynamic and up-to-date is unwavering. Every six months at hAppenings.community, we comb through our Holochain Project Database and do additional public research as well as contact the Holochain Project Teams/Developer Groups to review updated with the latest links and development statuses*.
Strap in as we take you on a tour of some of the latest Holochain applications (hApps), developer tools, projects, and updates! Each has its unique flavour; some are completely new, and others are long-standing projects with exciting updates!
Here is a sampling of our hApp research:
Who’s In? along with Converge, both from Leo Proschel, help groups to find alignment and take action on shared goals.
A smart community search engine from Coasys called the Synergy Engine!
A local-first offline demonstration of Holochain developed for DWeb Camp 2023, called Emergence.
Games from Eric Harris-Braun at Lightningrod Labs called Gamez and Realms of Ludos
The NFT game, Fractal Tribute! “Built by combining Holochain, blockchain, and the Holo hosting network”
The support platform Weaverly from Weaver Networks
Last, but not least, our own Requests & Offers HC/MVP!
Updates have included:
Neighbourhoods have released Toolkit 0.02 and initiated work with pilot groups
The successful merging of Junto/Flux/Perspectivism collaboration seamlessly into Coasys.
Holo extended their Alpha network testing to 300 more hosts and recorded an Ecosystem Session in October demonstrating the hosting network and Holofuel!
Mewsfeed has been busy with testing events!
Developer Tools
We’ve just started researching the Developer Tools/Zomes and libraries! Here are some we’ve recently learned about:
DeepKey is a ground-breaking cryptographic key management hApp that helps “...end-users log in without having to memorize 24 mnemonic words, or give up control of their private keys”!
Lair a keystore and cryptographic function hApp for private keys within Holochain.
Electron-Holochain Template and CRISPR are both Electron tools for Holochain.
Tryorama is a Holochain application testing tool.
NextGen Software has been working on their Unity and .NET bridge, HoloNet, and their multi-chain interoperability Oasis API.
Holochain Kangaroo has been released to help users launch hApps directly from their desktop without needing to use Launcher.
Get Involved!
Community knowledge works both ways. We hope we’re offering useful information to you, the Holochain community, so let us know about the projects we’re missing and/or ways we can improve it on our happenings.community Discord server!
Get involved with our Projects Looking for Support database view until we launch the MVP!
In a world where change is the only constant, Holochain stands as a beacon of innovation and collaboration. With every hApp, project update, and community milestone, we're forging a path towards a decentralized future. Join us in celebrating the journey so far, and stay tuned for the exciting hAppenings yet to come in 2024!
