Welcome Guide
There is so much to learn about any blockchain project but Layer 1 protocols present a particularly broad landscape and everyone who comes to us has a different angle of attack.
Our website is really just a front door for the project and rather than load it up with hundreds of pages of information we decided to offload that to Gitbook which offers a beautiful and elegant framework for all that detail.
Here you'll be able to find everything you need about our team, our token, our technical innovations, who's building on us and how you can start building, staking and contributing as a valuable human on our network.
Glad you asked.
Ex Apple, Google, Amazon with multiple exits
Sharding at network AND consensus level
Highly attractive scaling solution for existing dApps
Lightning fast execution -- zero to mainnet in 12 months
Top tier market interest: Binance Labs, Coinbase shortlist
Staking and node rewards via Effective PoS
Community driven - add your power to the network by running a node, introducing clients or by building tools
Core focus: Gaming, DeFi, Data Sharing
Harmony is a proof-of-stake blockchain meaning you can earn rewards for staking but there are so many other ways to get involved by participating in daily activities, introducing us to clients, building tools all while earning more $ONE.
Get up to speed with our token $ONE, where to buy it, how to stake it, how to run a node and how to earn for completing tasks for Harmony.
