Unlike blockchain networks where every node validates global data, Holochain allows every user to maintain their own chain with validation rules. This reduces network load, increases speed, and prevents typical blockchain bottlenecks. Transactions are stored in a distributed fashion rather than a single ledger. This architecture enables decentralized apps with high scalability and minimal resource requirements. Holochain apps can run offline and still synchronize securely later. The main purpose is to enable a truly peer-to-peer internet where users own their digital identity and data. Holochain’s approach addresses core blockchain limitations like high fees, mining dependence, and slow confirmation times
