What is Harmony?

Harmony is a fast, secure, and scalable blockchain platform designed to support decentralized applications (DApps), DeFi, and cross-chain interoperability. Launched in 2019, Harmony aims to solve blockchain scalability issues using sharding and an efficient proof-of-stake (EPoS) consensus mechanism.

Harmony's native token, ONE, is used for transaction fees, staking, and governance within the ecosystem.

How is Harmony useful?

Harmony enhances blockchain scalability and efficiency, enabling low-cost and high-speed transactions for DeFi applications, NFT marketplaces, and gaming. Harmony's cross-chain compatibility allows assets to move seamlessly between Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and other blockchains.

Developers benefit from Harmony's Ethereum compatibility, low transaction fees, and high network throughput, while users can stake ONE tokens to earn rewards and participate in governance decisions.

How does Harmony work?

Harmony uses sharding technology, which divides the network into multiple shards that process transactions in parallel, significantly improving scalability. Harmony's EPoS consensus mechanism ensures low energy consumption, fast finality, and secure transaction validation.

Harmony also features bridges to Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain, enabling cross-chain asset transfers. The ONE token secures the network through staking and facilitates smart contract execution, governance, and transaction processing.
