This week in the Holoverse | Week ending 13th of June 2021

The big dev news of the past week is the new version of Holochain is now powering the Holo version of Elemental Chat.

The new version is much faster and builds upon the speed increases from the past few months. As can be expected with new releases of cutting edge tech, a bug was found in the initial tests that the dev team are fixing now.

This is part of the work needed that will soon see active community members provided a one-time registration code to be able to access Elemental Chat through the browser. Currently, this is only available to HoloPort owners. Registration codes will be used so the team can slowly ramp up public use.

Arthur Brock drops mic

We’ve all heard Elon Musk talk about how he thinks Dogecoin is the future. Vitalik Buterin from Ethereum responded to him on Twitter to say how wrong he was and how Ethereum was the future.

Enter Arthur Brock, co-Founder of Holochain. During the week he responded to both of them in a blog post that shows how Holochain is about to make all blockchain projects a footnote in history.

DADA & Holochain with Eric Harris-Braun

We’re fast learning how Holochain’s tech is going to change software development forever. Why drive a horse and cart when you can have a car?

What may be less known is the new types of apps that will be made possible by Holochain tech. This week a conversation happened with members of the DADA art collective and Holochain Co-Founder Eric Harris-Braun.

This conversation went into depth the needs of both DADA and other non hierarchical teams of collaborators. Through out this conversation Eric gave some insightful thoughts into the kinds of solutions Holochain will be able to create for future collaborators.

DADA is also looking to evolve the NFT space. The conversation about next-gen NFT tech began at around 1 hour and 20 minutes.
