Holo
Description
Arthur Brock et al.:
"Holo lets people use their web browser and existing payment systems to interact with decentralized crypto-apps and currencies, providing a bridge from Holochain's fully peer-to-peer world of the future back to the semi-centralized world of today.
Early adopters can use a Holo hosting box to host their own apps and data and earn Holo fuel for sharing extra space and computing power to host apps for others. Instead of burning computation on mining, Holo Hosts get paid for providing hosting to mainstream users who just use their browser instead of installing Holochain.
Most crypto projects tout the fulfillment of crypto-anarchist ideals of total decentralization and automation of agreements, yet fail to provide an easy path for normal people to reach those ideals.
Holo is a pragmatic compromise — a bridge for people to transition toward greater and greater decentralization and autonomy. But since Holo must interface with the centralized systems of today, some parts of it are also centralized. So this is not a typical crypto project or paper. We've already built a fully distributed platform in Holochain. Now we want to take it to the mainstream. Holo is the bridge to get there." (https://files.holo.host/2017/12/Holo-Green-Paper.pdf)
