Harmony is a fast and open platform for decentralized applications such as Voice AI. Telegram @stephentse, email s@x.country, or follow x.com/stse.With x.country, our mission is to Push Humanity into Becoming Deus. Let’s build the future of 10 billion humans and bots in harmony – full of radical experience and social bonding – as Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) arrives in 2020s.Our mainnet runs Ethereum applications with 2-second transaction finality and 100 times lower fees. AI developers can use onchain tokens for micro-payments, smart contracts for market pricing, and zero-knowledge proofs for data privacy.Harmony’s mission is to scale trust and create a radically fair economy. Our platform is decentralized, scalable and secure to settle any transactions without trusted parties.Our protocol has achieved secure and random state sharding. Harmony Mainnet supports thousands of nodes in multiple shards, producing blocks in a few seconds with instant finality. Our staking mechanism reduces centralization while supporting stake delegation, reward compounding and double-sign slashing.Visit us at x.country!
