With Holochain 0.6.1, we are returning to our roots: The QUIC protocol. ⚡
QUIC is designed as a low-ceremony, high-throughput alternative to HTTP and WebRTC.
We tried it in the past, but third-party libraries were too immature.
Now, thanks to Iroh, QUIC is actually quick.
#QUIC #Holochain
Great software starts with thoughtful humans. 🧠
Before a single line of code is written, peer-to-peer architecture requires deep listening, speccing out edge cases, and receiving critical feedback from other humans.
You can't automate the "Why."

Happy Friday! Wrap up your week by reading up on how the Holochain ecosystem is stress-testing the future of the web. 🌪️
The team at hAppenings published a fantastic community breakdown of our Wind Tunnel infrastructure.

#Holochain
Coffee: Poured. ☕
Nodes: Synced. ⚡
What peer-to-peer problem are you trying to solve today? Let’s talk architecture in the replies. 👇
#DevLife #P2P #Holochain #RustLang
Since our callout last week, we've seen a surge in active HoloPorts joining the Wind Tunnel. 🌪(Reached the 50 Node milestone!)
But to fully simulate the load for apps like Unyt, we need to push the node count higher.
If you have a Port collecting dust, get it online. We are running tests now.
Unyt isn't just a tool; it's a kit. 🧰
It enables groups to set up their own accounting environments, their way.
These aren't just ledgers; they are Smart Agreements, shared rules that every participant helps enforce. If you break the rules, the immune system kicks in.
#SmartContracts #DAO
Your incentive to be a validator? The privilege of using the app itself. You validate peers, they validate you. Mutual service.
The promise of Web3 was "ownership," but the reality is often "gas fees." ⛽
Holochain + Unyt changes the model.
❌ No Global Ledger.
❌ No Gas Fees.
✅ Peer-audited transactions.
Holo is calling for backup. 🛡️
We need just a few more edge nodes to support the expanding Wind Tunnel tests.
We are adding new scenarios every week, specifically to ensure apps like Unyt launch on solid ground.
If you have a HoloPort, update it. Help us stress test the future.

#Economics #MutualCredit #Holochain #Unyt
Money isn't a token you hold; it's a relationship you track.
This is the core of Mutual Credit, a concept as old as civilization, now being rebuilt on Holochain by projects like Unyt.
If you want to understand why we build agent-centric tech, start with the history of how humans transact.
To the HoloPort owners stepping up to host Wind Tunnel runners: Thank you. 🙏
You aren't just hosting a box; you are hosting chaos.
More runners = more network stress = better data for us.
Your hardware is helping us bulletproof the network for everyone else.
#DePIN #Holochain #Community #Testing
Moss just went global. 🌿
v0.15.3 is live with multi-language support (FR, DE, ES, TR, PT, IT, JA, NL) and a major networking upgrade via Holochain 0.6.1 (powered by Iroh).
⚠️ Important: All group members must update to v0.15.3 to remain visible to each other.
Experience the new speed: moss.social
🏗️ Parallel Tracks: Holochain 0.6.1 and 0.7 are being developed simultaneously.
🌪️ Wind Tunnel: v0.5 is finished; v0.6 is in full swing (including specific scenarios to support @Unyt).
Check the progress: www.holochain.org/roadmap/
#Holochain #OpenSource #DevUpdate #Velocity
The Roadmap has been updated, and the data is clear: We are moving faster than ever. 🚄
We are currently hitting a velocity of 27 points/week, the highest in our history.
Key Highlights:
✅ 23 distinct performance scenarios.
✅ Real-time correlation of OS, Conductor, and Network metrics.
✅ Publicly verifiable.

#Holochain #DevOps #RustLang #DistributedSystems
Distributed systems are notoriously hard to observe. You usually only see the storm from the outside. 🌪️
With Wind Tunnel, we are finally seeing inside.
We are moving from "anecdotal" performance (it feels fast) to "continuous, automated data" (it is fast).
A muscle only grows when you stress it. A network is no different. 💪
We don't fear bugs in the Wind Tunnel; we hunt them. Every red flag in testing is a future crisis averted in production.
Resilience is earned.

#Holochain #DevOps #OpenSource #Testing
Distributed systems are hard. Testing them shouldn't be a black box. 📦
We believe in radical transparency. That's why you can see exactly how our Wind Tunnel stress tests are performing in real-time.
Green means go. Red means we fix it.
Most improvements destined for 0.7 (including major networking upgrades) are being backported to 0.6.1.
You get the speed sooner than you think.
Roadmap Update: Holochain 0.6.1 and 0.7 have officially moved from "Up Next" to "In Progress." 🏗️
But here is the important part: We aren't making you wait for 0.7 to get the performance boost.
We build the infrastructure so you can serve your users.
Our focus on network stability in 2025 wasn't just for us, it was to support our ecosystem partners in reaching their goals. 🤝
A reliable foundation helps partners like Volla (Privacy Mobile) and Coasys (Semantic Interoperability) drive adoption of their platforms with confidence.
The result? A network that actually does what a network should do: Data shows up. Peers find each other. Sync happens.
We built the bedrock so you can build the skyline.
It’s easy to chase shiny new features. It’s harder to make existing ones bulletproof. 🧱
In 2025, we made a choice: prioritize reliability over novelty.
Nature doesn't have a central server. 🌿
It has local interactions that create global stability. As we head into the first full work week of the year, remember: Biomimicry isn't just a buzzword; it's our blueprint.
Build like nature.
Welcome to 2026. 🥂
A fresh start for you, and a fresh start for the web.
This year, let’s prioritize autonomy, community, and code that serves people instead of platforms. Let’s build things that last.
#HappyNewYear #2026 #Holochain
Closing out 2025. 🎆
It’s been a year of upgrades (0.6.0!), partnerships (Volla!), and ecosystem growth. To every developer running a node, every holder, and every dreamer, we thank you.
See you in 2026.
