Holochain Development

Overview

Holochain is a framework for building fully distributed, peer-to-peer applications. It uses a distributed hash table (DHT) for data storage and validation without global consensus.

Key Concepts

Concept	Description
hApp	Holochain Application - a collection of DNAs
DNA	Distributed Network Architecture - defines data types and validation rules
Zome	A module within a DNA written in Rust/WASM
Entry	A piece of data stored on the DHT
Link	A directed connection between two entries
Agent	A participant in the network with a unique key pair
Conductor	Runtime that hosts hApps and manages connections
Lair	Key management service (lair-keystore)
