Transactions in Harmony

    Harmony is a layer-1 blockchain that achieves scalability, security, and decentralization using sharding and Effective Proof of Stake. The motive of the Harmony blockchain is that it aims to remove the structural barriers that hinder cryptocurrencies from becoming true digital money. Harmony should be distinguished from Ethereum and other blockchain systems by its higher transaction throughput, which is obliged to sacrifice other features in order to achieve performance advantages. Harmony's consensus protocol prioritizes efficiency and speed.
