1/ @harmonyprotocol is building a multi-chain future that helps users transfer seamlessly between chains with instant transactions and extremely low fees💙

This feature by @WhiteboardCryp1 talks about how #HarmonyONE works.

👇Here are some excerpts
2/ What motivated the creation of @harmonyprotocol?

While the #Ethereum chain was growing, there were some limitations.

#HarmonyONE was built to create a fast, decentralized and secure solution for a billion users, focusing on Speed and Performance.
3/ Building on the promise, @harmonyprotocol achieved a 2️⃣-second finality on all transactions. This is way faster than other top blockchains.

But what about security risks?

4/ We maintain maximum security through #Sharding.

Sharding is a process to split up the #blockchain into shards, which run simultaneously to speed up the chain and reduce congestion, enabling more users, low fees, and more transactions per second.
5/ But sharding comes with certain security risks, which @harmonyprotocol mitigates through Effective Proof-of-Stake (EPoS).

The EPoS ensures the stakers are rewarded while preventing them to take over the network.

6/ The @harmonyprotocol ecosystem is huge, and we are committed to building a multi-chain future through bridges.

Our Horizon bridge lets users seamlessly move through #Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain and NFT protocols, with #Bitcoin support coming soon.

open.harmony.one/horizon-a-gas-…
7/ Instead of direct competition, @harmonyprotocol promotes #interoperability between chains.

We work in favor of:

✅Openness
✅Transparency
✅Camaraderie

8/ The #HarmonyONE token ($ONE), can be used to pay fees, stake, validation & governance.

Since ONE tokens are burned for transactions and fees from the newly minted pool, it can never be deflationary.
9/ The @harmonyprotocol ecosystem is growing, and we are working relentlessly to increase crypto access across the entire space.

Our partners, contributors and community members are all helping us build a multi-chain future, while we work in the open💙

1/ Continuing to build a multi-chain future, @harmonyprotocol is excited to announce the launch of the fully trustless Harmony Bitcoin Bridge 🤩🚀

It will be the first trustless and decentralized bitcoin bridge to the EVM chain.
2/ The bridge enables a 1:1 Bitcoin-backed asset (1BTC), fully overcollateralized, interoperable, & censorship-resistant.

Unlike other wrapped BTC options, the Bridge is trustless, fully decentralized, secured, open & permissionless.

1/ #Rollups (Layer2) are blockchain technologies that help scale Layer1s (ex: Ethereum), that allow faster transactions at a cheaper cost in a trustless verifiable way.

In ZK-Rollups, validity is ensured by zero-knowledge proofs.

open.harmony.one/harmony-in-202…
2/ Zero-knowledge proof (ZK Proofs) technologies enable one party to prove to another party that they know something without the prover having to convey the information itself in order to prove their knowledge.

👇Here's why it is important, and what we are doing about it
3/ ZK for Scalability 📈

Since ZK proofs allow data-sharing between two parties without transferring any information with the transaction, they can improve scalability.
With 2-second finality already achieved, @Harmonyprotocol can scale its transactions/second with sharding.

1/ We are undergoing an outage due to multiple block propagation issues. Heavy spam traffic in the past 30 hours has halted the network.

Our core team is working with validators & internal leader nodes to resolve the outage.

Minimum gas upped to 30 gwei to prevent spam attacks
2/ Progress Update - 1 AM PST

Validators have been advised to downgrade their node binaries to a previous version as the bandwidth of validators with V4.3.2 were overburdened.

Our team is working on a special version of validator node binary to reduce bandwidth usage
3/ Progress Update - 1:30 AM PST

Our team is internally testing new versions of Shard 0 that could potentially restore the blockchain.

1/ Harmony community, @harmonyprotocol is now officially migrating its governance requirements to Snapshot.org (@SnapshotLabs)

All #HarmonyONE DAOs rely on Snapshot to run important elections such as protocol proposals & electing DAO governors

medium.com/harmony-one/ha…
2/ @Harmonyprotocol is now fully supported on Snapshot, and the forked version hosted on the Harmony website will be discontinued.

This decision comes to ensure complete decentralization and to provide a reliable and secure product to the community.
3/ With an ever-growing number of DAOs on Harmony and a plan to create many more, it is critical they have access to reliable services to run and manage their organizations.

Therefore, from March 1st, 2022, users will need to create a brand new space on Snapshot.org
