Holochain-rust

What is Holochain-rust and what is it for?

Holochain-rust is an early Rust implementation of the Holochain framework, a way to build peer-to-peer applications whose data is kept on the devices of the people using them. It is the retired first Rust version of that framework, replaced by a later implementation, and the repository is kept as a record of how Holochain was built in Rust.

Holochain-rust was an early Rust implementation of the Holochain framework for building peer-to-peer applications. Its README states the code is loosely based on an earlier Go prototype and was released as alpha software, and that this version has since been replaced by a later one described as more performant, stable and secure. The repository is kept as a record of that work.

The project held the pieces needed to run distributed applications whose data sits on the devices of the people using them rather than on a central service. A small program called a conductor loads those applications and connects them to user interfaces, while application logic written in Rust is compiled to WebAssembly and packaged as DNA. Each DNA forms its own peer-to-peer network for storing and validating its data.

The architecture documentation lists a sample application, app-spec, that the project used to demonstrate current functionality and to drive development, alongside a Node.js conductor for running tests. Readers who want the framework's own account of its parts and their purpose can start with that overview in the repository.
