Holo’s approach to pricing, payments, and currency reflects our commitment to creating a fair and efficient distributed hosting ecosystem. While implementing HoloFuel remains our goal, we currently accept HOT and as needed, several national currencies as payment for hosting services.
Holo will accept payments for hosting services primarily in HoloToken (HOT), with additional support for national currencies such as USD and EUR. This approach allows us to leverage the prepaid hosting credits from our 2018 ICO while we work toward a fully integrated HoloFuel-based payment system.
Customer pricing will be aggregated and simplified, ensuring straightforward payment processes.
Until we implement HoloFuel as the internal accounting system, micro-payments, and direct peer payments between customers and hosts will not be supported.
HoloPort owners will have options to provide hosting services to various customers and projects based on their hardware’s capacity. Hosts will receive compensation based on their selected plans and actual delivery of services to customers.
We are currently working with hosts to determine the best payment options. In the interim, host payments may be handled via a claims process using HOT.
HoloFuel is the mutual-credit cryptocurrency designed to power the Holo ecosystem, enabling efficient, transparent, and scalable transactions between hosts and users.
HoloFuel will serve as the internal accounting system for pricing, payments, and resource allocation.
Hosts will set their own rates based on demand and capacity, creating a decentralized marketplace for hosting services.
Customers will pay hosts directly, and micro-payments will be fully supported for granular, usage-based settlement.
Designed to handle the high-volume micro-transactions needed in the hosting economy.
Once HoloFuel is fully implemented as Holo's P2P payment system within the Holo network, HoloToken (HOT) holders will have the opportunity to swap their tokens for HoloFuel at a 1:1 ratio for at least six (6) months, ensuring continuity for early supporters of the ecosystem.
HoloFuel represents our vision of a decentralized, peer-powered hosting network where hosts and users interact directly, enabled by fair and efficient payments.
Fully owned by the Holochain Foundation, we align with the mission of Holochain, our partners, and the broader open-source community to provide alternatives to fully centralized cloud hosting. Holo highlights the power of collaboration and community, creating a more inclusive and resilient web.
