Holo is a distributed cloud-hosting marketplace for peer-to-peer (P2P) applications. HoloToken (HOT) is the native cryptocurrency of Holo, which is also convertible into HoloFuel, the internal micro-cryptocurrency that powers the Holo network.
Holo was first launched in 2017 with the aim of building a bridge between cryptocurrency and more mainstream real-world applications, such as creating a marketplace for peer-to-peer (P2P) applications.
In this article, we take a closer look at the HoloToken (HOT) and Holo; the team, roadmap, network, and how this influences the price and future valuation predictions for the cryptocurrency HOT.
What is Holo (HOT)?
HoloToken (HOT) is an ERC-20 cryptocurrency, first launched during the Holo ICO (Initial Community Offering) in 2017. HOT is available and can be bought and exchanged across most major exchanges — centralized and decentralized — and was initially launched to provide the financial capital to power the Holo Network, and is convertible into internal micro-cryptocurrency that powers the Holo network, known as HoloFuel.
As is the case with other coins launched to fund new projects, it now functions the same as other cryptocurrencies, and can be bought, swapped, and exchanged. In order to understand the origins, strengths, and weaknesses of HOT better, we will review the team, roadmap, and other details about Holo.
Holo (HOT) Team
Holochain Foundation is the organization that owns Holo Limited, a cloud hosting company with a difference. Holo Ltd. is responsible for building, improving, and maintaining the various components of the Holo Network, such as HoloPorts, HoloFuel, and the Holo hosting apps that make the whole distributed marketplace for P2P apps possible.
Holochain, the blockchain that powers all of this, is an Open Source project; the intellectual property resides with the Holochain Foundation. The Holo founders have taken a different approach than other open-source projects. Instead of asking for money and code contributions for businesses and users of the platform, Holo Ltd., the company owned by the Holochain Foundation, provides the working capital for the Foundation.
Arthur Brock and Eric Harris-Braun are the co-founders (both serial entrepreneurs), and they lead a team of 22 developers, designers, community managers, and other seasoned professionals. Holo is well-established and has a vision of bridging the gap between crypto and real-world applications and ultimately disrupting the $400bn cloud-hosting sector.
According to the Holo Green Paper published in 2017: “The Holo team has vast experience over the last 15 years building alternative currencies. We have designed monetary currencies, reputation currencies, and cryptocurrencies, and alternate value flows to make communities work as intended.”
