Edge Node is production-ready. OCI containers mean you run Holo Hosting on HoloPorts, custom hardware, VPS, whatever you have. No special setup required.

What prevents unauthorized agents from even connecting to a network? Each hApp can now run its own bootstrap server and authentication endpoint. That means you control who joins at the protocol level, not just the application layer.

Holo Hosting hosts private group networks, not stateless tasks. Your data stays in your network. Your rules enforce locally. That's fundamentally different from Filecoin or Akash

Per-app authenticated bootstrapping prevents network spam and unauthorized DHT access. It's like a bouncer that stops uninvited guests before they get to make trouble at the party. Accountability is built into the layer where agents actually connect. That changes what's possible

Marketing announces features. Community adoption proves them. EdgeNodes are seeing the latter. Builders testing real infrastructure, asking real questions, solving real problems. That is the signal.

Sweettest, our internal testing framework made ready for you to use, replacing Tryorama in our dev tools. Scaffolding now generates Sweettest test cases. Same language as your zomes (Rust), so you're not context-switching into TypeScript. You write the test in the language

Wind Tunnel stress testing runs live on Holo Hosting Edge Nodes. Community volunteers generate real-world performance data on the same infrastructure that powers production app hosting. The hosting stack proves itself under actual distributed load.

1700+ peers. 2700+ peers. Longer runs now, watching what degrades over 30 minutes instead of 10 seconds. We're not measuring "performance is great." We're measuring where it breaks and how it breaks. We want the bad news. That's what you learn from.

When you look at our roadmap, do the 'points' confuse you? Do you wonder what they mean? Software time estimation is notoriously hard. Great teams get it wrong. The best teams don't do it at all. Instead, they (we included) use evidence-based scheduling. Estimate the complexity

In January our dev team switched from kanban project management to traditional two-week sprints. The goal was to increase clarity and reduce surprises. Is it working? Yes! Armed with a wealth of velocity data and disciplined scopes for each sprint, we now have more confidence

Why does Holochain 0.6.1's release date keep retreating? The biggest reason is that these are teamwork weeks, not calendar weeks, and our priorities shift per sprint. This week might be more Wind Tunnel; the next week might be more Holochain. Next, critical bugs discovered by

Centralized clouds give the illusion of 100% uptime—right up until they don't. ☁️💥 When AWS or Azure goes down, half the internet vanishes. But a peer-to-peer network hosted on always-on Edge Nodes doesn't have a single point of failure. Don't wait for the next outage to

It’s been about a month since we quietly asked our Telegram community to sign up to test the HOT to HoloFuel Technical Migration. Our partners Unyt Accounting have made 25 releases since then in preparation. And our alpha testers have put in many hours making it better for a wider

Q: Why does 0.6.1 look like it's getting *less* complete over time? Holo and Unyt Accounting are actively alpha testing right now. Bug reports come in multiple times a day. When that happens, the scope for 0.6.1 grows, and the completed percentage drops. That's a good thing!

Want to help us stress-test the future of the internet, but not sure how to set up Wind Tunnel on your machine? 🛠️ Don't overthink the setup. We have a complete, step-by-step video guide that walks you through exactly how to tune your node into the Wind Tunnel test network.

Over the next several days about 250 testers will be road-testing the HOT-to-HoloFuel technical migration from the Sepolia testnet. This is how we identify what works and what needs adjustment before larger scale. Read the details: at holo.host/blog/hot-to-ho…

Sprint velocity has been going up steadily — we're up to 34 points per week on average now. Why? It may be due to a new team member joining, or productivity boosts from judicious use of AI developer tools. We also have a hunch that it has something to do with our switch from

Last year, we built the Edge. This year, we are unleashing it. The massive Wind Tunnel tests happening right now are only possible because of the foundational hardware and software infrastructure we deployed. If you want context on how we got to this point of extreme stress

HOT to HoloFuel Technical Migration Test – calling all testers! H_O_L_O is testing with the Unyt Accounting app. If you signed up, watch for our email. We’ll invite testers in A/B batches to test out Unyt, blockchain bridging and swapping mock HOT to test HF. holo.host/blog/hot-to-ho…

The Holochain 0.6.1 release projection just dropped from five weeks to TWO weeks. 📉⏩ As we’ve mentioned before, completion percentages and projections are a snapshot, and a lot can change in a single week. Keep riding the roller coaster with us! 🎢 #Holochain #RustLang
