Who is Holochain For?¶
Holochain is a smart choice if:¶
- Your users need to access your application despite unreliable network conditions or even total loss of connectivity.
- You want to reduce your security burden by taking advantage of proactive, adaptive security that minimizes the impact of data breaches and automatically responds to attacks.
- You want to see your application scale automatically and cheaply with user adoption.
- You need to meet strong privacy requirements (e.g., GDPR and HIPAA) without much hassle.
- Your users demand customizability and sovereignty over their online activities.
- You want to equip your user communities to own their infrastructure—without having to become system admins.
- You’re exploring non-extractive business models, but you think that ‘being good’ won’t bring in as much money and you want technology that makes it affordable to stick to your principles.
- You’re ready to trade some control for technology that puts your users first.
- You’ve tried blockchain, but found it slow, expensive, and hard to tweak for your needs.
