What is Profiles Module and does it work?

Profiles Module is a small Holochain zome from the holochain-open-dev organisation that manages user Profiles Module, requiring at least a nickname, inside the DNA it is added to. As of 2026-09-13 the census found it active — last push 2026-08-11 — running on Holochain HDK 0.2.6, read from the Cargo.toml manifest.

Profiles Module is a small zome built by the holochain-open-dev organisation for managing the Profiles Module in your DNA, in Holochain's RSM (recent state model), requiring at least a nickname. It is packaged as a Holochain zome and as an npm package that offers native Web Components usable across browsers and frameworks.

The census, read on 2026-09-13, records Holochain HDK 0.2.6 and HDI 0.3.6 in Cargo.toml and @holochain/client 0.16.0 in the UI package. The repository was last pushed to on 2026-08-11 and was found active. No tagged release was found, so no release-specific version is given.

Profiles Module is not a standalone app: it is designed to be included in other DNAs, and it stores all Profiles Module in the DNA where the zome is included. Installation instructions and documentation are available on the project's documentation site. The maintainers note that integration and bridging with personas and Profiles Module will be done in the future, keeping the current API as much as possible.
