Introduction To Harmony One

Table of Contents

Even though Ethereum is the DeFi hub of crypto, the transaction fees can prevent people from participating once the chain becomes congested. Ethereum scaling is a known issue which should be solved by Layer 2 solutions like Harmony One.

Since it is built on top of Ethereum, Harmony can benefit from the Layer 1 security while having more room for scaling and speed.

So far, Harmony One has managed to capture over $700M in crypto assets but it has also attracted some of the most popular dapps like Curve Finance, Sushi Swap and many others.

What Is Harmony One? #

As already mentioned, Harmony One is a Layer 2 chain built on top of Ethereum. It started out as a company in 2018 and got funded by venture capital funds including Consensus Capital, Hong Kong’s Lemniscap VC and others. In 2019 Harmony One launched an IDO on the Binance Launchpad and promised to deliver “decentralization at scale”.

ONE is the governance token of the Harmony One blockchain and it can be used for staking, earning rewards, or covering gas fees. Harmony achieves speed and scalability through random state sharding which allows the blockchain to divide the database into smaller components called shards. This allows Harmony One to have almost instant finality times without congesting the chain.

The Goal Of Harmony One #

High network fees on Ethereum will remain an issue for the foreseeable future. Without Layer 2 solutions like Harmony One users wouldn’t be able to enjoy the full benefits of a fast and secure blockchain and that is the exact problem Harmony is trying to solve.

EVM compatibility allows developers to deploy their Ethereum-based decentralized applications on Harmony with minimal effort but it also gives users the same user experience. In short, Harmony can be viewed as a bridge between scalability and decentralization on Ethereum.

How Does Harmony One Work? #

The ONE token is at the center of Harmony’s governance model. Through an adaptive version of the proof-of-stake (PoS) governance model, delegators can earn rewards by delegating their staked tokens to network validators. On top of that, sharding helps increase network speed by splitting the database into many smaller fragments

 All of this creates an environment where communication costs are minimal and by utilizing aggregate signatures 250 or more validators can reach a consensus in less than two seconds.

Unlike many other networks, Harmony One can process transactions in parallel thanks to the Fast Byzantine Fault Tolerance (FBFT) consensus algorithm.

Conclusion #

Harmony One is surely a network that can give users the freedom to use blockchain technology with no restrictions. Speed and scalability are very important, but Harmony can also offer security because it is an Ethereum L2.

Lastly, with EVM compatibility, Harmony can stay competitive in both the DeFi and NFT landscape because developers can easily re-deploy their Ethereum-based dapps while their users can have the same experience with almost no transaction fees.

  • What do the risk ratings mean?

Our mission here at RugDoc is to screen for hard rug code that results in 100% theft of ALL underlying funds for ALL participants.

This is the ONE part of the due diligence process that most people cannot simply do on their own as it costs thousands of dollars to hire a senior solidity developer to look over a farm for safety.

A project coin with terrible code can go up in price, and a project with good code and a good team can also go down in price.

Do NOT use our ratings to refer to your likelihood in making money if you invest in the project. They are ONLY in reference to code safety.

Everything else beyond code safety is YOUR responsibility to go do research on. We just make sure the casino you’re betting in won’t rob you before you even get to place a bet.

Our reviews for projects are organized into a few colors.

🟢 Least Risk
These projects are the least likely to hard or soft rug. Usually reserved for cornerstone projects of an ecosystem where it makes no financial sense for them to rug in any manner as they make more money just being legit.

🔵 Low Risk
These projects are usually established projects in an ecosystem that have a track record of success or have KYC’d to us or other authoritative sources in the real world. As a result, it is extremely unlikely for them to soft rug or hard rug their projects. The projects can still fail and the token price can go down, but usually more as a result of natural market forces.

⚪️ Some Risk
This is the default rating for projects with unknown teams but have code that is unlikely to have hard rug risk. Since the team is unknown and doesn’t have a track record of success, it’s entirely possible that they may try to soft rug by dumping tokens, abandoning the project, etc. Even a last minute contract swap to a malicious contract is possible. The only thing that is unlikely is a complete hard rug as long as you are 100% sure you deposit into the contract we review.

🟠 Medium Risk
Similar to Some Risk, but the underlying code itself is custom enough or complex enough that it warrants an elevated risk rating that needs deeper research. Make sure you read every point presented to make sure you’re comfortable with that before entering. Still unlikely to hard rug, but more chances of custom code behaving incorrectly and causing other issues.

🔴 High Risk
Project contains code or practices that are HIGHLY LIKELY to lead to catastrophic losses as they are right now. Make sure you read the description carefully as we will always warn what these issues are. If you see the words Hard Rug anywhere in the review, STAY FAR AWAY!

⚫️ Not Eligible
We reserve the right to not review exceedingly complex projects that would require tens of thousands of dollars of senior security analyst man hours. Typically these are projects that deal with leverage, lending, options, derivatives, and anything that is overly complex and which requires tons of peer reviews and audits from top audit companies.
