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.
