The repository is active: it was last pushed and released on 2026-09-07 with the happ-v0.6.0 release, and the release notes confirm a canonical happ is being distributed.

Where does emergence run?

It is packaged as a webhapp to be installed by the Holochain Launcher as a standalone desktop app, and the census lists it as a moss-tool as well.

How do I install emergence?

Packaging with npm run package produces emergence.happ and emergence.webhapp in the workdir folder, and the webhapp is what you distribute so the Holochain Launcher can install it.

What Holochain version does it use?

The zome builds against hdk 0.3.1, and the client library used is @holochain/client at 0.17.0-rc.0.

Is emergence ready for production?

No such claim appears in the README or release notes; the project is under active development and the released happ is a versioned artifact, not a statement of production readiness.

What is emergence and does it work?

emergence is a Holochain hApp for distributed event coordination, whose repository was last pushed and released on 2026-09-07. We know this from the repository README and the happ-v0.6.0 release notes, read on 2026-09-13.

emergence is a Holochain hApp for distributed event coordination, maintained by the holochain-apps organisation on GitHub. The README describes it as an app whose network of nodes coordinates events across agents without a central server, and it has attracted 26 stars with 7 contributors.

Its Rust zomes build against hdk 0.3.1, and the package.json and web app manifests use the Holochain client at 0.17.0-rc.0. The last release, happ-v0.6.0, was cut on 2026-09-07 and the repository was pushed the same day, so the project is active.

For developers, emergence is packaged as an emergence.happ and an emergence.webhapp, with the webhapp intended for install through the Holochain Launcher. The release notes record that a canonical emergence.happ is frozen and reused by every webhapp release so all installs join the same network. The census lists it as a moss-tool and standalone-desktop project.

How to get it
