Risk Warning: Investing in cryptocurrency is akin to being a venture capital investor. An atomic locking mechanism is used to ensure the consistency of cross-shard transactions. Consistent Cross-Shard Transactions: Harmony supports cross-shard transactions with shards directly communicating with each other.Harmony also adopts Kademlia routing to achieve cross-shard transactions that scale logarithmically with the number of shards. Scalable Networking Infrastructure: With RaptorQ fountain code, Harmony can propagate blocks quickly within shards or across network by using the Adaptive Information Dispersal Algorithm.Moreover, the threshold is low enough so that small stakers can still participate in the network and earn rewards. Adaptive-Thresholded PoS: The threshold of stakes required for a node to join the network is adjusted based on the volume of total staking in a way that malicious stakers cannot concentrate their power in a single shard.Consensus is reached with a linearly scalable BFT algorithm that’s 100 times faster than PBFT. Efficient and Fast Consensus: Unlike other sharding-based blockchains which require PoW to select validators, Harmony is based on PoS and thus energy efficient.Harmony also reshards the network in a non-interruptive manner to prevent against slowly adaptive byzantine adversaries. Secure Sharding: Harmony’s sharding process is provably secure thanks to the distributed randomness generation (DRG) process which is unpredictable, unbiaseable, verifiable and scalable.This makes Harmony a fully scalable blockchain. Fully Scalable: Harmony shards not only the network communication and transaction validation like Zilliqa, but also shards the blockchain state.Specifically, Harmony makes breakthroughs in following aspects: Harmony addresses the problems of existing blockchains by combining the best research results and engineering practice in an optimally tuned system.

Harmony is the next generation sharding-based blockchain that is fully scalable, provably secure, and energy efficient. Please take note of the following schedule:

Supported trading pairs include ONE/BTC and ONE/USDT. Harmony (ONE) is now available on KuCoin. KuCoin is extremely proud to announce yet another great project coming to our trading platform.
