Unyt

P2P Platform

A P2P accounting and payment rails platform built on Holochain enabling any community, cooperative, DePIN network, or organization to design and operate their own currency system. Core capabilities include: Custom Currencies (mutual credit, service units, membership tokens, loyalty programs with configurable rules and fees including zero-fee); Smart Agreements (automated billing, escrow, revenue sharing, conditional payments running on participants' own devices); Multi-Currency Atomic Trades (direct exchange across any combination of currencies without trading pairs or liquidity pools); and Value Bridging (connecting separate Unyt networks and bridging EVM blockchain tokens as a lightweight configurable L2). Originally developed as a Holochain Foundation subsidiary to build HoloFuel for the Holo Hosting network; evolved into generalized payment infrastructure.

P2P Platform Attributes

Owner - List
  • Holochain Foundation
Origins Mutual credit / Economic infrastructure (originally contracted by Holo Ltd. to rebuild HoloFuel accounting system for HOT token swap; evolved into generalized P2P payment rails; founders have worked on alternative currency systems since before Holochain and blockchain; informed by decades of work on mutual credit and deep wealth economics)
Database Holochain agent-centric source chains (each participant maintains their own cryptographically signed chain of records; no global consensus or shared ledger; local validation with DHT for data availability and consistency)
Query Language Holochain zome calls (Rust-based hApp function calls via HDK); REST-like API for Smart Agreement configuration; unconfirmed external query interface
Data Formats Custom currency units (configurable denomination and rules per network); Smart Agreement schemas (configurable economic logic — billing, escrow, revenue sharing); ERC-20 token representations (bridged EVM assets); atomic trade records; audit trail entries; market oracle data feeds (crypto and forex pricing)
Collaborative Live Editing N/A (accounting and payment infrastructure; no document editing)
Rich Text Editing N/A
Mobile Support Planned (Android first, then iOS — on roadmap for 2026)
Web Support Yes (sandbox available for browser-based experimentation; Unyt on Moss available via Moss web/desktop interface)
Native Apps N/A (no standalone native desktop app; runs as Holochain hApp within Holochain conductor; accessible via Moss desktop app as a Tool)
Terms Free (zero-fee option available; customizable fees per network deployment — operators set their own transaction fees including zero; no platform charges required; enterprise support available via direct engagement)
Funds Unconfirmed (Holo Ltd. 2018 ICO raised undisclosed amount for Holochain ecosystem including HoloFuel; Unyt Inc. operating costs covered by Holochain Foundation)
Based On Holochain (Int P2P RT — agent-centric DHT architecture; all Unyt currency and accounting logic runs as Holochain hApps); Moss / The Weave (Ext D App — native groupware integration layer; Unyt is a Tool within Moss); EVM / Ethereum (for blockchain bridging of ERC-20 tokens via lock-and-mirror mechanism)
P2P Architecture Holochain agent-centric DHT (each participant maintains their own source chain of signed records; validation is local rather than global consensus; DHT provides distributed data availability; no miners, validators, or stakers required; asynchronous and offline-capable — actions record locally and propagate on reconnect)
Development Tools Smart Agreement library (configurable economic logic templates — billing, escrow, revenue sharing, conditional payments); currency configuration tools (define denomination, credit limits, fees, membership rules); Holochain HDK (Rust SDK for zome development); sandbox environment (downloadable for experimentation); API and architecture documentation at unyt.co/docs; GitHub at github.com/unytco
Deployment Options Participants' own devices (Holochain agent-centric — no central servers required; runs on ordinary hardware); Moss Tool deployment (via Moss desktop app on macOS/Windows/Linux); self-hosted Holochain conductor; DePIN network device deployment (automated billing for infrastructure nodes)
Authentication & Identity Holochain agent identity (each participant has a self-sovereign cryptographic keypair generated locally; identity is an Ed25519 keypair; no central authority; self-custodial — user controls their own keys and data; KYC/AML integrations planned for Q1 2026 for compliance use cases)
Storage Model Local-first distributed (each participant's data stored on their own device in their Holochain source chain; DHT provides distributed availability and validation; no cloud storage required; offline-capable with sync on reconnect; self-custodial — no third-party custody of funds or data)
Interoperability EVM blockchain bridging (lock ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum, mirror into Unyt app, trade P2P, unlock back on-chain — creates lightweight configurable L2); cross-network Unyt bridging (connect separate Unyt networks so value flows between them while each keeps own governance); Moss/Weave Tool integration (native groupware via The Weave Interaction Pattern); market oracles for crypto and forex pricing
Social Graph No (accounting and payment infrastructure; social graph is not a primary feature; community membership and credit relationships tracked per network but not a general social graph)
