Toolmakers for the web 3.0 fully distributed future
adappt.io was envisioned in 2015, when the partners discovered blockchain. They were the original members and organisers of the Blockchain Developers Meetup in Melbourne, Australia. Mike met with core developers for Holochain in 2018. In 2019, we found a dearth of tools that allowed people to see and use distributed networks. adappt was changed from an Ethererum smart contracts company to a Holochain distributed toolmaker.
Where are the networks? What is my identity?
What are the networks doing? How well is my neighbourhood doing? What is the bigger picture (emergent) behaviour?
Test what/if scenarios by introducing changes or perturbations to see how the networks react, before a widespread rollout.
Web 2.0 started off okay.. we were able to keep in touch and order things and share our lives via social networks for no cost. Except there was a cost; our data went to 'the cloud' and was used in unforeseen ways, because we had agreed to terms and conditions. And by bringing user data to the provider, all your medical records, credit card information, and personality were available for the highest bidder.
Web 3 is a fully decentralised web, where there is no centre. Blockchain technologies promise decentralisation, but because they were built 'top down' with one logical ledger, they suffer from inability to scale.
Holochain is the true web 3. Networks are built 'bottom up', starting with an agent (you) talking to another agent (me). Others are added as needed. This is the way nature works, and it does scale. Infinitely.
This is a very different way to write software. We are not used to it, so we need tools to help us understand the way nature builds systems and networks. And natural systems behave simply at a local level but complex as local behaviour compounds: we get emergent behaviour.
The world needs help visualising how this works. adappt is building the way.
How do we visualise these new, distributed networks? adappt embarked on this mission because we and other Holochain developers were running into the same problem.
We'd love to chat with you about web 3.0 where the migration from centralised systems is complete.
