#HarmonyOne in 7 tweets

Here are the most importing things you need to know about Harmony One, the original sharded blockchain.
1. #HarmonyOne was the first to implement sharding on a mainnet. Harmony is able to achieve finality in about 2 seconds. A normal transfer is extremely cheap and costs roughly 0.000021 $ONE. This is achieved through Harmony’s FBFT consensus protocol and random state sharding.
2. Sharding allows Harmony to confirm transactions in parallel which accelerates transaction validation speed. To motivate the delevation of stakes across a larger number of people, Harmony uses a novel mechanism called Effective Proof of Stake (EPoS).
3. Harmony has done a great job in solving the of blockchain trilemma by uniformly scaling with shards. Normally it is extremely difficult to achieve decentralization, scalability, and security in a network.
4. Harmony’s Horizon bridge currently transfers assets to #Ethereum and #BSC. #Bitcoin and #PolkaDot bridges are currently on the testnet. Harmony is doing a great job in bridging other blockchains in a seamless manner.
5. $ONE is #HarmonyOne’s native token. $ONE is used to pay for transaction fees, gas, and storage fees. It’s also used for on-chain governance. For running a node(minimum 10,000) or staking (minimum 100) in Harmony’s Effective Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus.
6. $ONE tokens earned through transaction fees are burnt. Annual issuance of tokens is set at 441 million, declining to zero over time. High network usage will lead to zero inflation. Here’s the inflation prediction by @MessariCrypto:
7. Harmony has $300 million set aside to grow the ecosystem and encourage developers to build on its platform. Some of the money will fund 100 different DAOs and some will go towards improved tooling. $20 million in grants are going to focus on improving the 1Wallet UX.

If you’re reading this you’re early.

Web3 is growing like crazy though. It’s only a matter of time before it’s a regular part of everyone’s lives — not just degens like us.

I think it’s important to take advantage of the opportunity, before Web3 becomes saturated.

🧵👇
2. The biggest people in Web3 right now only have around 200k followers right now. @Zeneca_33, @thedefiedge, @Route2FI, @NFTLlama are all around 200k—these guys are thought leaders. 200k sounds like a lot, but in the grand scheme of things this is miniscule.
3. In most industries, 200k is nothing, but in Web3 you’re a thought leader.This isn’t to take away from any of these legends, but I just wanted to illustrate how much room there is to grow.

Here are the most important things you need to know about #XRP and the #XRPL

A thread 🧵👇
1. XRPL is based on the Federated Byzantine Agreement (FBA) consensus algorithm. XRPL is an open-source, permissionless, decentralized blockchain. $XRP was created to be a financial tool. Its fast and transactions are cheap.
2. The #XRPL settles transactions in 3 seconds. Most transactions cost less than a penny (0.0001 XRP on average). The XRPL can also process over 1500 transactions per second. On top of all this the XRP ledger is eco friendly.

You can make life changing money with NFTs. Collections can 10x overnight. Kids drop out of school to go full time into jpegs. But how do you choose winning projects. How do you find the 5-10x gems?

Here’s your guide to choosing winning NFTs.

A thread 🧵👇
2. I’ve looked at hundreds of projects, spent thousands of hours on their discords, and bought countless NFTs. I think I’ve been burnt enough for all of us. By far the 4 most important things to consider when buying an NFT are the team, the community, the roadmap, and the art.
3. The Art

First and foremost, the art is important. Art is really subjective. I don’t expect you to be an art connoisseur. But you have to love the piece that you’re buying. The NFT market is incredibly volatile. Prices can fluctuate 30-50% if not more on a daily basis.

Here are the most important things you need to know about #Terra and $LUNA.

A thread 🧵👇
1. #Terra is a blockchain that lets users create stablecoins pegged to fiat currencies. These coins, including $UST, are truly decentralized and algorithmic. UST is Terra’s flagship stable coin. It also utilizes a superior seigniorage mechanism.
2. There are many ways algorithmic stablecoins can maintain their pegs. UST’s secret is #LUNA. $UST and other stablecoins in the #Terra ecosystem achieve price stability by adjusting supply based on real-time fluctuations in demand.

#Avalanche Explained 🔥

A deep dive into the rapidly growing L1 that has positioned itself to grow exponentially 🐂

A thread 🧵👇
2. What makes #Avalanche special is its capability of launching subnets and its innovative consensus method. Subnets and #AVAX consensus make Avalanche fast and scalable. They allow Avalanche to solve the scalability trilemma.
3. To scale while maintaining decentralization, blockchains can expand vertically or horizontally. Avalanche scales horizontally through subnets.

How to 5-10x with DeFi

Here's a guide for anybody that's just dipping their toes into DeFi.

I'm condensing countless hours & months of learning into a thread.

🧵👇
2. Create your own alpha group

This is a group chat of 3-6 peers that are equally obsessed with crypto as you. It’s like copying your friends homework, but you don’t get in trouble. Everyday, you trade ideas, debate strategies, and help each other on the emotional rollercoaster.
3. Figure out a goal

I have one goal in crypto. I never want to set foot in a corporate office. I need enough money to live off of. Wait I also want the freedom to go wherever I want whenever I want. I say a cool 3k ETH will get me there. Your goal will influence your strategy.
