Status de Dev 🟢 Ativo
Detalhe do Status de Dev Released / Active (production component of Holochain; Kitsune2 in development as next-generation rewrite)
Proprietário Holochain Foundation / Holo Ltd (core Holochain development team)
Órgão de Governança Holochain Foundation
País International (distributed team; Holochain Foundation registered as Swiss non-profit)
Ano de Início 2020
Stack Rust (reference implementation); designed for embedding within Holochain conductors
Financiamento Funded as part of broader Holochain development (Holochain Foundation, Holo Ltd, HOT token ecosystem)
Última Investigação 1 de jul. de 2026
Protocolo P2P Atributos
Origens P2P networking layer for agent-centric distributed applications; designed to support Holochain's sharded DHT and agent gossip patterns
Banco de Dados Local agent gossip state and DHT shard storage (managed by host Holochain conductor)
Linguagem de Consulta DHT operations (publish, query by hash, neighborhood gossip)
Formatos de Dados Binary message format optimized for agent gossip and DHT operations; Holochain entry semantics on top
Edição Colaborativa em Tempo Real N/A (networking library; collaboration patterns live above in Holochain DNAs)
Edição de Texto Rico N/A
Suporte Móvel Inherits from Holochain runtime (mobile Holochain support is active development); Kitsune itself runs wherever the Rust toolchain targets
Suporte Web Tx5 transport adapter provides WebRTC-based connectivity for browser scenarios
Aplicativos Nativos Yes (any Holochain conductor includes Kitsune; standalone use also possible)
Termos Open Source / Free — Apache 2.0 / CAL-1.0
Fundos Not separately disclosed; Holochain Foundation operational budget covers Kitsune as a core component
Baseado Em Sharded DHT design (departure from Kademlia toward agent-neighborhood gossip); QUIC (transport); WebRTC (Tx5 adapter); inspired by lessons from prior Holochain networking (sim2h, lib3h)
Arquitetura P2P Sharded DHT with agent-neighborhood gossip — agents are responsible for storing and validating entries within their arc of the address space; gossip propagates through neighborhoods; no centralized infrastructure required for data movement
Rede de Sobreposição Holochain-specific sharded DHT; bootstrap nodes for initial peer discovery; pluggable transport adapters (QUIC default; Tx5/WebRTC for browser; Iroh adapter in development)
Endereçamento por Conteúdo Holochain entry hashes (Blake2b) and agent public keys as DHT addresses
Local-First Yes — each agent maintains a local source chain plus their DHT shard
Criptografia de Ponta a Ponta (E2EE) Transport encryption via QUIC's built-in TLS 1.3 or Tx5's WebRTC encryption; Holochain entries are typically public within an application but can be encrypted at the entry level
Biblioteca de CRDTs N/A (Kitsune is networking; CRDT semantics, where used, live in Holochain DNAs)
Tolerância a Falhas Bizantinas Validation rules per DNA enforce entry integrity; gossip can detect divergent state; no Byzantine consensus in the blockchain sense — agent-centric model substitutes peer validation
Assinatura Ed25519 signatures on agent operations (inherited from Holochain entry model)
Permissões Application-level (per Holochain DNA validation rules and membrane access control)
Compatibilidade com a Web Semântica N/A (transport-layer library)
Contrato Inteligente N/A (Holochain's compositional model is not smart contract-based)
Posição na Pilha de Protocolo L3.1 Overlay Network (P2P transport and DHT for the Holochain runtime)
Incorporação de Ativo / Valor None at the Kitsune level; the broader Holochain ecosystem has HOT token but Kitsune itself is protocol-level networking with no native value layer
Maturidade / Padronização do Protocolo Released / Active (production component of Holochain since ~2020); Kitsune2 rewrite ongoing; no formal external standardization, evolves with Holochain releases
