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.
As long as you work with GetBlock’s ONE nodes, you don’t need to spend resources on servers, DevOps teams and so on: we offer ready-made blockchain nodes solutions that can be activated in minutes.
Our users can customize their ONE RPC nodes endpoints regardless of their previous experience with GetBlock’s intuitive interface and premium-level customer support.
