Holochain

Holochain is an open-source framework to develop peer-to-peer applications with high levels of security, reliability, and performance.

Code Status

This code is in initial Beta release. It's ready for limited production use. It is still undergoing security reviews and hardening of network protocols.

Running Holochain Applications (hApps)

This repository contains the Holochain core libraries, not the runtime intended for end-users of Holochain applications.

If you just want to install and run Holochain and apps from its AppStore, download the latest release of Holochain Launcher appropriate for Linux, Mac, or Windows.
