Harmony is a fragmentation-based blockchain that has made several important advances for each challenge that currently presents itself.
One of its objectives is to offer scalability and decentralization. Its promise is to allow decentralized coordination at scale within the Blockchain,
In the same way that Google vertically integrates its search infrastructure, Harmony adopts a similar full-stack approach to resolve consensus at scale. The end-to-end integration allows you to iterate faster and make bolder optimizations than could be done with a common modular approach.
Harmony highlights problem solving by applying 10x innovations at the layer level instead of seeking 10% improvements. Some of the achievements of the Harmony protocol are described below:
Harmony's fragmentation process is safe, thanks to its randomized distributed generation process, which makes it unpredictable, insensitive, verifiable and scalable. Harmony also shares the network without any interruption.
Harmony is based on PoS and, which makes it different from other fragmentation-based blockchains that require PoW to select validators. So it makes it energy efficient.
Harmony requires a game threshold for a node to join the network and adjust according to the total stakeout volume. This required threshold should be low enough that small punters can still participate in the network and earn rewards.
Harmony can propagate blocks quickly with its RaptorQ source code. It achieves cross-fragment transactions that scale logarithmically with the number of fragments, this because it adopts Kademlia routing [37].
Harmony has fragments that communicate directly with each other, this because it supports cross-fragment transactions, it has an atomic blocking mechanism, which ensures the coherence of transactions between fragments.
The consensus protocol used has design principles such as fragmentation and channeling to parallelize transaction processing.
Harmony develops a slender and specific kernel to execute our protocol with higher performance and CPU security. This will allow broad devices to participate in the consensus of a more decentralized network.
Harmony Implements network engineering techniques allowing faster and more intelligent message propagation. Its compressed network topology allows us to execute a highly concurrent protocol.
Pangea is an experimental area for a large number of people to interact with the Harmony network, test its limitations and its technology. Help them have a lot of fun while earning rewards.
The initiative had the following in its first 24 hours of operation:
One of the objectives is to test the next milestones and updates of the Harmony core protocol, with this, the approach to smart contracts and sharing, in a network of all external nodes.
