[Holochain](https://holochain.org/) is a framework for distributed apps that has an agent-centric approach. My initial impression of it after browsing its website, reading some of the white paper, some of the [FAQs](https://developer.holochain.org/guide/latest/faq.html), and [this blog post](https://medium.com/holochain/beyond-blockchain-simple-scalable-cryptocurrencies-1eb7aebac6ae), is that it looks better than Ethereum, providing a simpler, more intuitive approach to solving the scalability problem without compromising the scalability-decentralization-throughput trilemma, unless you really need universal consensus / data as an absolute truth, rather than data as a shared perspective. This is also after having been [involved with Ethereum](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Fv8XqLkMjdBkGPkVWfJulJU-5Qv6TSUR4oD5uKSEHW0/edit?usp=sharing) since mid 2017, without compensation.
I made a post about Holochain previously, but it seems that it was deleted, so I'm taking a screenshot [before](https://imgur.com/N4wdiW1.png) and [after](https://i.imgur.com/mNeh0UO.png) posting.
