What is Harmony (ONE)

1. Project Introduction
Harmony is a fast and secure blockchain built for decentralized applications. Launched in 2019, the Harmony network features four parallel processing shards and trustless cross-chain bridges. Sharding distributes network workload across validators, delegators, and users, while its effective Proof-of-Stake (EPoS) mechanism promotes decentralization.
