About
Holo (HOT)
Holo (HOT) powers a distributed cloud hosting marketplace for peer-to-peer applications built on Holochain, an innovative framework designed as an alternative to traditional blockchain technology. Holochain aims to solve scalability and adaptability issues inherent in many blockchain architectures by shifting from a data-centric model to an agent-centric one. This means each user runs their own secure, tamper-resistant ledger, enabling intrinsic data validation without requiring network-wide consensus for every interaction. This approach significantly enhances efficiency and reduces computational overhead, fostering a truly decentralized network. The Holochain framework enables the creation of hApps (Holochain applications) that are scalable, fast, and more energy-efficient than many dApps on conventional blockchains.
The HOT token, an ERC-20 token, currently serves as an IOU that will be swappable for HoloFuel upon the mainnet launch. HoloFuel is designed as a mutual credit currency, specifically for paying for hosting services provided by HoloPort operators and other hosts within the Holo network. This utility token facilitates microtransactions and access to computational resources, underpinning the economic model of this decentralized hosting ecosystem. Holo aims to bridge the gap between the existing centralized internet and the emerging decentralized web, providing essential Web3 infrastructure and empowering individuals by giving them control over their own data and applications within a peer-to-peer framework. It represents a significant step towards a more distributed and user-centric digital landscape.

Frequently asked questions
-
What does the NOK/HOT trading pair represent in the digital asset market?
The NOK/HOT pair is a fiat on-ramp allowing users to purchase the Holo (HOT) digital asset using Norwegian Krone (NOK). Its significance lies in providing direct access for Norwegian investors to the Holochain ecosystem. Holo (HOT) is an ERC-20 token intended to be swappable for HoloFuel, the currency for a peer-to-peer hosting network for decentralized applications (hApps) built on Holochain's agent-centric architecture, which differs fundamentally from traditional blockchains. -
What are the common payment methods for purchasing HOT with NOK on a cryptocurrency exchange?
To purchase HOT with NOK, you'll typically use a regulated cryptocurrency exchange that supports Norwegian Krone deposits. Common methods include SEPA transfers, which are widely supported in the European Economic Area, and direct bank transfers from Norwegian banks. Some platforms may also support debit/credit card purchases or local payment services like Vipps, though these might incur higher fees. All these methods require full KYC/AML compliance, often streamlined for Norwegian users via BankID verification. -
How does Holo's technology differ from a standard Proof-of-Work blockchain?
Holo is not a blockchain. It's the hosting network for Holochain, which uses a Distributed Hash Table (DHT) instead of a global ledger. Unlike Proof-of-Work blockchains that require global consensus for every transaction, Holochain employs an agent-centric model where each user maintains their own secure ledger. This data integrity engine allows for massive scalability and efficiency, making it ideal for hosting peer-to-peer hApps without the bottlenecks and energy consumption associated with traditional blockchain consensus mechanisms. -
What is the primary utility of the HOT token within the Holochain ecosystem?
The primary utility of the HOT token is to serve as a placeholder that will be swappable 1:1 for HoloFuel. HoloFuel is the native, asset-backed mutual credit currency of the Holo network. Its purpose is to facilitate microtransactions, compensating hosts for providing computing and storage (hosting power) to run hApps. This creates a circular economy where developers pay for hosting in HoloFuel, and hosts earn it, driving the entire peer-to-peer hosting marketplace. -
What are the security best practices for storing HOT tokens after a secure trading operation?
After acquiring HOT on an exchange, it is crucial to move them to a digital wallet where you control the private keys. Since HOT is currently an ERC-20 token, it is compatible with any Ethereum-based wallet. For maximum security, use a hardware wallet (like Ledger or Trezor), which keeps your private keys offline and safe from online threats. For frequent use, a non-custodial software wallet (like MetaMask) is a good option. Always back up your seed phrase securely and never share it with anyone.
