“Our aim has always been to make the volatility game irrelevant to the people doing the work. . . a currency where the whole economy can come out ahead at once.” Intrigued? Read the whole blog https://holo.host/blog/you-cant-run-an-economy-on-a-bet-dslflYPf52N/

“Bitcoin’s observably high volatility is a structural flaw. We think there’s a remedy for this flaw. . . in fact, we’ve built it.” - People need money they can use. Curious? Do the work, read the whole blog. https://holo.host/blog/you-cant-run-an-economy-on-a-bet-dslflYPf52N/

We're excited about our blog but we're also seeing some confusion about the Binance notice. Simply: It's NOT a spot delisting. HOT CONTINUES to trade on spot. Your tokens are unaffected. Nothing about holdings, custody, or the token itself changes. This is a margin delisting on Binance's UK platform. HOT is being removed from isolated margin trading. Margin pairs are a small slice of activity, so the practical impact is minimal. Read the actual notice rather than the opinions about it.

📖 New Blog Post: You Can’t Run an Economy on a Bet We just published a major new piece exploring the structural flaws of volatile cryptocurrencies, and why it's impossible to run a household or a business on money you have to bet on. Read why Mutual Credit is the solution, how HoloFuel operates as a currency tied to real computing work rather than sentiment, and how Unyt provides the peer-to-peer payment rails to make it flow. Plus, there’s an important update regarding the HOT-HF Technical Migration at the end! 👉 Read the full blog here: https://holo.host/blog/you-cant-run-an-economy-on-a-bet-dslflYPf52N/

📢 Holo Ecosystem Delivery Update Have you read the latest strategic update on the Holochain blog? It highlights massive progress from the Holo team, specifically: 🔹 Edge Nodes: Our new open-source Edge Node model makes it easier than ever to host the network. 🔹 Web Conductor: We are internally testing the bridge that will allow anyone to use Holochain apps in a normal web browser. 🔹 Joining Service: New tools for apps to manage KYC and network access securely. Check out the full post to see how Holo, Holochain, and Unyt are delivering together: 👉 https://blog.holochain.org/ongoing-delivery-demonstrating-whats-next/

🎙 Ongoing Delivery Deep Dive If you prefer watching over reading, don't miss the recently recorded conversation covering the massive Q1 delivery across Holo, Holochain and Unyt. It’s a great deep dive into how the HOT-to-HoloFuel test operated behind the scenes, how the Web Conductor prototype works, and what the roadmap looks like heading into Q2. 👉 Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jsf_njmi-M

🌪 Educational Deep Dive: Edge Nodes in the Wind Tunnel You've heard us talk a lot about "The Wind Tunnel" lately—but what is your Edge Node actually doing when it joins? The short version: It's generating extreme network traffic alongside hundreds of other peers to test the absolute limits of Holochain's sync speeds and resilience. Why it matters: Perfect simulations don't exist in the real world. By participating in the Wind Tunnel, your Edge Node provides the exact real-world data (varying connection speeds, hardware differences, realistic dropouts) our dev team needs to prepare the network for massive scale. If your hardware is sitting idle, put it to work for science! 🧪 🔹 Follow the guide to join the Wind Tunnel: https://holo.host/resources/edge-node-wind-tunnel-guide/

🛠 Educational Deep Dive: Your Edge Node & Holochain Apps We get asked a lot: "What exactly is my Edge Node doing for Holochain?" Here’s the simple answer: It acts as the bridge. 🌉 Holochain apps are fully peer-to-peer. But to reach mainstream adoption, people need to access these apps through regular web browsers. Your Edge Node acts as an always-on node for your Holochain applications. Without Always-On Edge Nodes, the distributed web stays trapped in developer environments. With them, we build a censorship-resistant, highly resilient internet. 🔹 Read our "Holo Forward" vision for hosting: https://holo.host/blog/holo-forward-Cf5h1g8UhaZ/ 🔹 Ensure your node is optimized for 24/7 hosting: https://holo.host/resources/always-on-holochain-node-guide/ 🔹 Read about our latest HolOS upgrades: https://holo.host/blog/first-upgrades-for-holo-edge-node-and-holos-5DG2_l0IVDv/

🌐 Ecosystem Highlight: The Holo Web Conductor If you missed it in the recent blog, Holo has built a prototype Web Conductor. This is a massive milestone. It allows everyday users to interact with Holochain applications directly from their normal web browser—no complex installations required. We are testing it internally right now. 👉 Watch the team discuss it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jsf_njmi-M

It's been a full week of people running the HOT-HF Technical Migration Test. Yesterday wrapped up with over 50 folks from the community testing simultaneously and asynchronously — real people, real transactions, real network conditions. And the testing delivered what it was supposed to. Every issue surfaced now is one fewer surprise at launch. Most importantly: core functionality worked. Thank you to everyone who showed up this past week — running transactions, reporting issues, and joining yesterday's group calls. You're helping shape this. And a special shout-out to the smaller group who have been testing for months. You're incredible. More testing ahead. Every cycle brings us closer to the infrastructure we need.

Come test with us during today's Group calls to test the HOT-HF technical migration together! We recommend getting set up with Phase A before the call by following the guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l4JMK7WWzQNYXzso70KF1aMQOMyeFQEwinqE1RaK86E/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.kd0m8qshvrgt.
