akula VS holochain

Back in November, Artem Vorotnikov (Akula developer) made this tweet:

On a related note, I'm also keeping tabs on Akula, because a Rust-based client is a damn sexy proposition for running a performance-sensitive node 24/7.

It certainly seems it will be remembered as a major success story for open p2p protocols on the global Internet of our time.

A great multitude of developers and enthusiasts belonging or contributing to diverse teams spread across the world: developing, debating, and collaborating for years to arrive at the big event.

And it's all been done very much in the public view:

Akula. Ethereum client written in Rust, based on Erigon client architecture.

It’s been in the works for a few years, and recently reached its beta-rc stage. There’s a quick scaffolding tool, a Typescript client, Rust client (being updated), integration with Nix, Rust and Typescript testing suites, a Tauri-based launcher, an Electron template, etc. It can even be deployed in a cloud instance if you wish. There’s a pretty passionate community on Discord. The Open Source Initiative even approved the Cryptographic Autonomy License specifically for Holochain apps.

Holochain is a framework for building Peer-to-Peer apps. Everyone can make their own app which utilizes Holochain. Holochain is build by the Holochain Foundation as an Open Source project, i.e. the source code is openly available on Github and you can use and modify it as you wish. Other than providing and developing the framework, the Holochain Foundation will have no control over any part of the app you build. The Foundation also cannot control which apps are built using Holochain. It does not have any governance power in this regard.

I have been thinking about architectural models for making our application distributed, such as Holochain and Gun.eco.

I'm curious about future potential synergies between Holochain ( https://github.com/holochain/holochain ) and the Cosmos ecosystem, considering the consensus engine (under development : https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-rust/tree/main/cosmrs ), the Interchain Blockchain Protocol ( https://github.com/informalsystems/ibc-rs ) and the smart contacts module (https://github.com/CosmWasm/cosmwasm ) exist in Rust.

are running encrypted app code for them so that they can take part in the app/network, without having the required technical chops (the holofuel currency measures processing power). the FAQ does a good job of explaining it a bit more: https://holo.host/faq/

i'm not super interested in the whole holo thing (they sold holofuel hosting credits). i am glad they did it because it meant the team could ramp up development.

about the marx and engels thing. i am most excited about the potential for http://valueflo.ws on top of holochain [3], because it will allow us to move away from today's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, into a new paradigm of Network Resource Planning (ERP) software, that i hope will have a big impact on supply chains of the next economy (socialist).

Harmony One & Holochain

Hey y'all. I've been bouncing ideas around in my skull for how to implement a peer-to-peer / distributed / decentralized / serverless game backend, mostly for the lulz, the what-if's, and the is-it-even-possible's. It would run over a p2p distributed database, peer validation, encryption/signing, based on Holochain, and would include a form of distributed ECS for managing "server" logic.

> It would force the global north to actually build what it's consuming instead of extracting rents from intellectual property. That won't happen.

Oh fuck yes it will happen! Come join us at:
