Conclusion

As a summary, you can find the following table in which we compare the operation of Holochain with that of other decentralized systems:

BITCOIN (Layer 1)

ETHEREUM (Layer 1)

HOLOCHAIN

Consensus

PoW

PoS

Validation by random agents, then gossip

Energy Usage

High

Low

Very low

Transaction Volume

Low

High

Very high

Data volume

Data replicated to all nodes

Sharding implementation pending

Native sharding

Decentralization level

High

Medium

Very high

System design

Data-Centric

Data-Centric

Agent-Centric

Economics

Speculative, based on future predicted token value.

Speculative, based on future predicted token value.

Mutual currencies, asset-backed.

DMASs offer flexibility and benefits when implementing decentralized systems. They natively reflect the behavior of complex systems and do not have the technological overhead to implement numerous use cases.

Of course, there are also barriers in these systems. The transfer of large blocks of data is not optimal, nor is it easy to deal with transactions of large amounts due to the risks it can pose to a community.

I am confident that we will see many DMASs in the future because of their high potential and because it is the better choice for many use cases and that is why DIMCredits was born, to improve the functionality for mutual currencies.
