Product Roadmap

Our new infrastructure platform is purpose-built for cloud hosting. Lighter weight and designed for multi-tenant, cloud native workloads.

Benefits:

• Run multiple Holochain versions side-by-side, eliminating compatibility headaches.
• Host non-Holochain workloads, opening the door for diverse applications on the same infrastructure.
• Improves network stability for hosts by removing common sources of local network interference.

Dedicated, full-arc nodes that ensure consistent data availability and reliability. Cloud nodes are the foundational component for cloud-hosted Holochain infrastructure.

Benefits:

• Enable lightweight clients: Allows end-users on phones or browsers to access hApps without running a full node, improving performance and battery life.
• Boost data resilience: Guarantees data is always available and replicated across the network, preventing data loss even if individual users go offline.
• Better offline support: Ensures messages and data are delivered reliably, even in sparse networks or when users aren't online simultaneously.

A RESTful gateway for retrieving data from a Holo-hosted application's DHT. An appropriate zome call must be available to call.

Benefits:

• Integrate hApps with the traditional web: Allows any web application or script to read data directly from the DHT via a simple HTTP request.
• Build hybrid applications: Easily combine the power of decentralized Holochain data with existing web frontends or backends.
• Lower barrier to entry: Lets developers test or display Holochain data without needing to install or run a node.

Initial launch of our RESTful API for directly managing deployments on the Holo Network, enabling integration with tools and automation.

Benefits:

• Automate your deployments: Integrate hApp provisioning and management directly into your CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins).
• Monitor your hApps: Plug deployment data and logs into your existing monitoring tools (e.g., Datadog, Grafana).
• Manage at scale: Programmatically control your Holo-hosted infrastructure, saving time and reducing manual errors.

The initial launch of our customer self-service portal. This milestone focuses account and API key management.

Benefits:

• Manage your account 24/7: A dedicated self-service portal to update your profile and billing.
• Secure your automation: Manage, and revoke API keys yourself, giving you full, secure control over programmatic access.

An open-source OCI compliant container image configured to run a Holochain conductor which also comes with a few simple command line tools to install and manage always-on nodes for Holochain applications.

Benefits:

• Run a stable, always-on node: Provide a reliable backbone for your hApp's DHT, ensuring data is held and relayed even when most users are offline.
• Run anywhere: Deploy on any hardware (like a Raspberry Pi or a cloud VPS) that supports OCI containers.
• Empower your community: Makes it simple for community members to contribute to network health by running their own always-on nodes.

A lightweight linux distro ISO image pre-configured to easily run Edge Node containers on HoloPorts and other hardware.

Benefits:

• Easiest Edge Node setup: The fastest way to get an Edge Node running on a HoloPort or dedicated hardware with minimal configuration.
• Optimized performance: A minimal, lightweight OS designed specifically for running Holochain nodes efficiently.

Introduces a streamlined installation process via the boot menu, utilizing a dual-volume system for enhanced stability. This release marks the final breaking change requiring a full re-install.

Benefits:

• Rapid Deployment: Transition from a blank device to a functional HolOS environment in under 60 seconds.
• System Resilience: Dual-volume architecture ensures seamless updates with an automatic "last known good" fallback, protecting user data during OS upgrades.

Extends Edge Node capabilities to include Holochain 0.6 container support, facilitating the next generation of decentralized applications.

Benefits:

• Future-Proofing: Full support for modern hApps built on the latest Holochain 0.6 framework.
• Backwards Compatibility: Run 0.5 and 0.6 nodes concurrently, allowing for a phased migration without service interruption.

Integrates Holochain usage logging with Unyt accounting software to automate financial workflows for node operators.

Benefits:

• Automated Monetization: Automatically generates invoices based on real-time hApp service usage, reducing administrative overhead.
• Auditable Transparency: Provides clear, cryptographically verifiable logs for both service providers and hApp managers.

A rigorous, automated testing framework that stress-tests the distributed hosting infrastructure against 23 real-world network scenarios.

Benefits:

• Scientific Reliability: Moves beyond anecdotal testing to provide deep visibility into OS and Conductor performance metrics.
• Ecosystem Empowerment: The framework is public, enabling hApp developers to validate their applications' stability before deployment on the Holo network.

Focused on OS hardening and user-centric configuration options for HoloPort hardware.

Benefits:

• Improved Security: Enhanced OS hardening and the ability to pull SSH keys directly from GitHub for secure remote access.
• Ease of Setup: Streamlined WiFi configuration and physical LED status indicators for better hardware feedback.

Implementation of Holochain’s HTTP Gateway for Edge Nodes, bridging the gap between a Holochain DHT and the public internet.

Benefits:

• Public Data Accessibility: Securely expose read-only hApp data to standard web browsers via a simple HTTP gateway.
• Hybrid Application Support: Enables traditional web and mobile apps to interact with live DHT data without requiring users to run a full node.

Alpha version of our browser plugin for running the agentic side of Holochain apps directly in the browser.

Benefits:

• Gives web-users access to Holochain apps without having to install and run a dedicated Holochain runtime app.
• Enables Holochain app developers to serve a broader audience.
• Adds another use-case for Edge Node providers to run HoloConnect

Alpha version of our lightweight Holochain KitsuneP2P network connector that enables hApps running in HoloWebAgent to connect to other fully decentralized Holochain nodes.

Benefits:

• Allows Edge Node providers (and others) a proxy connection for Web users to Holochain hApps.

Integration of ecosystem assets into "Unyt" to support automated settlements for Edge Node hosting. This provides a functional pathway for HOT and other ecosystem assets as an exchangeable utility within the hosting network and beyond.

Benefits:

• Direct Utility: Enables the use of ecosystem assets to facilitate and settle hosting service transactions.
• Seamless Accounting: Leverages Unyt payment infrastructure to provide node operators with automated, transparent financial tracking for their hosting services.
• Ecosystem Onboarding: Establishes the core economic infrastructure required to bridge external assets into the internal hosting economy.
