🔢 Harmony 2024 Ecosystem: 🐠 Sustainable Scaling & 🔰 Onchain Security
Below is our 2024 report on Harmony ecosystem: community development, adoption effort, consumptive uses, network operations, governance proposals, open changes, open development, utility metrics. Builders and traders – join us at All-In Summit, Token 2049, Solana Breakpoint, and Network State Conference!
Harmony is an open blockchain with data sharding and fast finality. Social games and community AI can use our onchain tokens for micro-payments, smart contracts for market pricing, and zero-knowledge proofs for data privacy.
Harmony’s mission is to scale trust and create a radically fair economy. Our platform is decentralized, scalable and secure to settle any transactions without trusted parties.
🚀 Building a (Rocket)Ship
We are a Day-1 startup. Blockchains are becoming the foundation of the global economy, yet their adoption is at only 1%. That means that you as a pioneer and developer are shaping the future with 10X impact. Harmony is a community-driven project, a network with hundreds of applications, and a team wearing crazy ambitions on their sleeves. Because the invincible summer awaits!
For engineers, we value your deep understanding of how bytes work. You are a tool maker, a system hacker, and a math nerd all in ONE. Your typical day involves prototyping a top-conference research paper, debugging and profiling in hexdecimal, or writing updates to coordinate asynchronously with tens of engineers in the open. Building a blockchain is like jumping off the cliff while assembling the plane engine on the fly – but, if you can thrive in chaos, why NOT?
We are hiring remote Systems Engineer and Network Engineer for developing a blockchain with high security, scalability and decentralization. Email us via careers@harmony.one. Our job requirements are:
Bachelor degree in computer science – specializing in kernel structures, data optimizations, compiler tools, or cloud operations.
5 to 10 years of working experience including 1 year of startup experience.
Exceptional communication and people skills.
Team & Community Development
Harmony’s decentralized development are driven by the team (Stephen Tse, Li Jiang, Nita Neou, and more), our 291 validators, our 6000+ community members, and many partners.
Continuing Adoption Effort
The team helped launched the network and the native token in 2019, staking and delegation in 2020, DeFi and NFT in 2021, DAO and ZK Proofs in 2022, Web3 domains and AI bots in 2023, and social games and perpetual derivatives in 2024.
Our mainnet and our token are fully functional since 2019 and will continue by design. All our code is open source, and our progress is publicly accessible. Harmony Foundation reserves tokens for ecosystem development, our Transaction DAO collects fees for user growth, and Emission DAO manages community recovery.
Utility & Consumptive Uses
The native token ONE 0.00%↑for Harmony is for network security via Proof-of-Stake, transaction executions via gas fees, and ecosystem governance via onchain votes.
🎯 On-chain & 💞 Open-source Perpetual Options in Harmony
Network Operations & Tokens
Harmony Mainnet is fully operational since June 2019, now with 8.05M addresses, 802M transactions, 142 deployed contracts, 291 validators, 4.36B ($65.4M) staked tokens.
Governance & Proposals
General public makes Harmony Improvement Proposal (HIP) on our Discourse forum, while delegators and validators approve for network forks on our Snapshot voting. Since 2018, Harmony has 32 passed proposals, 25.3K onchain delegators, 25 community DAOs, 75 governors, and 3B voted tokens.
Open Source & Changes
All our code is open source, and multiple community proposals have implemented in mainnet via validator consensus. We have given keynotes and talks on our technology and roadmap, including ETH Denver, Shanghai Blockchain, Nashville Bitocin, Stanford Blockchain, Day ONE San Francisco, ETH Lisbon, ETH Rio, Web3 Ghana.
Community & Open Development
Our GitHub repo has 66 contributors (among 20 team members), 1.5K stars, and 286 forks for our network protocol. Harmony collaborated with ETH Denver, university professors, Gitcoin grants, Immuefi bounties, DevPost hackathons, DoraHacks events, and many others for open development.
