What is a Harmony node?

A Harmony node is a computer in the Harmony blockchain network that helps validate and propagate transactions. It maintains a copy of the blockchain and participates in the consensus protocol.

How to run a Harmony node?

To run a Harmony node, you need to download the client software, set up a node configuration file, and start the node with the appropriate command-line parameters. Detailed instructions can be found in the official Harmony documentation.

What is a ONE full node?

A ONE full node is a type of node in the Harmony network that stores a complete copy of the blockchain and participates in the consensus process. It helps maintain network security and supports transaction processing.

What is an RPC in the Harmony network?

RPC in Harmony is a remote procedure call interface (communication protocol) provided by the blockchain network. It allows developers to interact with the blockchain, query data, and perform various operations programmatically.

How does Harmony API work?

Harmony API provides a set of endpoints and methods that developers can use to interact with the blockchain network. Developers can send requests to the API to perform actions such as submitting transactions, retrieving blockchain data, and accessing network information. The API acts as a bridge between applications and the underlying Harmony blockchain infrastructure.

Harmony RPC: Why should you choose it?

Harmony is the first sharded EVM-compatible blockchain with smart contracts. It was introduced in 2018 by Stephen Tse. Mainnet operations of Harmony nodes kicked off in 2019. The platform raised initial funding through an IEO on Binance Launchpad.

Harmony leverages Effective Proof-of-Stake (EPoS) consensus as a way to address the challenges of blockchain trilemma. Unlike in classic PoS systems, it penalizes the validators for getting too much influence.
Harmony is also well-known for its developed cross-chain bridges ecosystem. ONE nodes are seamlessly connected to BNB Smart Chain (BNB), Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), and so on.
Thanks to the sharding system, Harmony nodes don’t need to store the full history of transactions. In total, there is a limit of 250 validators slots per shard that makes the opportunities for decentralization really impressive.
