Holochain

| Hash-chain approach
|
Data-centric, a single global dataset-one shared reality across all nodes. |
Agent-centric, allows nodes to act independently, or in tight coordination only with counter parties, and then share independently evolving data realities that come to agreement over time.
|
| Energy Use
|
Bitcoin consumes more than 0.1% of the world’s electricity to powerless than 0.0001% of the world’s money.
|
Since no mining is required, no specialized processors are needed, making it feasible to run full nodes on low-power computers or cellphones.
|
| Transaction Volume
|
Neo currently processes +1000 transactions per second. Bitcoin and Ethereum considerably less at a handful per second.
|
Expected to surpass financial exchange backbones like the Visa network, with a max of 56,000 transactions per second.
|
| Scalability
|
Even ignoring proof-of-work, there are serious scalability limits on synchronizing a global ledger across many nodes.
|
With a sharded DHT, the transaction load per node gets lighter as the network grows.
