Key characteristics
- EVM compatibility: many Ethereum-like contracts, wallets and tools can interact with the Harmony ecosystem depending on available applications.
- Native ONE asset: used to pay transaction fees, participate in staking and interact with network services.
- Sharded architecture: Harmony was designed around shards and proof-of-stake consensus to improve network capacity with fast finality.
Use cases and ecosystem
- On-chain applications: DeFi, tokens, wallets, games or Web3 services depending on active projects and available liquidity.
- Market tracking: monitoring ONE, volumes, transactions, validators, fees and network activity through explorers and crypto dashboards.
- Development: Harmony documentation, nodes, APIs, contracts and official repositories useful for analysing or building on the network.
Consensus and security
Harmony security depends on proof of stake, stake distribution, validators, shards, possible bridges, smart contracts, wallets and software upgrades. Users should verify official tools, contracts and addresses before interacting.
Fees and performance
Fees and timing on Harmony vary with network activity, operation type, applications, wallets and available liquidity. Real-world costs should be checked at time of use.
