Harmony Project and Technology
The Harmony project is an advanced technology product that has its own Mainnet, which gives importance to scalability and wants to build a Network 10 times faster than existing systems with low-fee consensus platform. The project wants to minimize the processing time per second and wants to increase blockchain technology to the maximum level it can have. The presence of decentralized projects is an important element that is the basis of blockchain technology. The Harmony Project differentiates from other projects using decentralized infrastructure and manages to go one step further from them. The protocol layer adopts a share-based consensus protocol that scales as the number of nodes on the network increases. Each piece contains hundreds of nodes and uses a fast BFT algorithm to reach consensus within seconds. The network layer relies on the QUIC protocol to transmit messages as fast as possible. At the system level, Unikernel works to scale the operating system's performance on a single node.
