Holochain, Ceptr and the Metacurrency Project
Arthur Brock has been stewarding a team of inspiring humans who are investing themselves in creating some pretty awesome stuff.
In our session, we dive into the holochain, a distributed server platform for holochain apps, and a ‘initial community offering’, broadening the scope of ICO’s to include community contributions that are non-monetary. I get really excited about that, as I have a deep sense that we are stronger as a movement, and that when we weave our contributions together, we build an unbreakable web of projects, relationships and knowledge that can take on some of the greatest challenges we face today.
Want to go a bit deeper into the technological pieces? This next piece does a bit of a deeper dive into the difference between holochains and blockchains, and what a ‘sovereign accountable commons’ would look like. My inner nerd gets really excited about a technological solution to data integrity and sovereignty, as I see it as a critical challenge to solve in terms of us having agency over what we create and share with others.
If you want to go down a wonderful rabbit hole that can show you what a well-thought-out series of technological systems based on nature might look like, check out the Metacurrency Project, Ceptr and the Holochain. What I appreciate so much about this work is that it also returns us to some of the original intentions of the internet: a place where we can work together to build systems that can support us all.
This piece is done in the spirit of cooperation; to profile important work and to direct our attention to how we can work together to create systemic change as a movement. If you have a project you would like to have profiled, or would like to participate as a collaborator, chat me up in the comments!
The style of this article is open source: if stolen, built upon, and further developed, awesome. Let your creativity run wild, and have fun with it!
