Topic: [ANN] HARMONY PROTOCOL - page 33. (Read 7714 times)
You said that the details about IEO will be released on 15th May. But today is 15th already and the day is almost ended and still no news. How mych hardcap here and how many will be for IEO? As I see 18 mln was raised already... this money were raised on private sale?
It's wonderful that I finally see the official topic.
I will come here often. How are your events on Consensus2019? I am sure that you will have even more good partnerships.

Why are you projects still doing these IEO's? No one trusts them anymore.

We are a 12-person team in Silicon Valley with 7 engineers from Google/Apple/Amazon and 2 PhDs. Our extended team of 36 strongly aligns with the mission of scaling trust and open consensus for billions of people.
We are like the blockchain - everywhere!
Thank you for your support for us!
Just saw Binance's post that you are accepted as the next project on their launchpad so big congratulations. In the meantime, I am waiting for some more details on how many tokens will be sold during the IEO. If possible host an AMA for the community.
There are currently no token offerings and anyone offering tokens could be a scam. Please be safe from scammers.
Further details of the sale & metrics will be released ON MAY 15th with an improved & more condensed lottery schedule: https://twitter.com/binance/status/1127234485416685568?s=19
Harmony protocol is a revolutionary project. The project concept and ideology is superb. I so much like the idea and am glad I found this gem at this time. The binance launchpad news is just to show how great this project is. It’s indeed well deserved.
Binance has taken the right decision by listing (which it will, eventualy) Harmony. Sorry to say, but the number of shitcoins in Binance's stable has also been increasing. Time to bring in the big guns now.

Yes, Binance had officially announced their next launchpad is harmony. See their official tweet here https://twitter.com/cz_binance/status/1127235097021665280
The details will be out on May 15th, follow their official twitter here https://twitter.com/harmonyprotocol
Meanwhile, play this game to kill time https://puzzle.harmony.one/
where is the project based? USA or China?
They have a global team. you can learn about them here https://medium.com/harmony-one/meet-the-harmony-team-f211ea407b48

I love when hear Harmony will start IEO on Binance launchpad, it will be great start from Harmony.
Isn't easy to get IEO on Binance and Harmony can do that , I hope the IEO is success and Team can more focus to develop the project.
Congrats.

Harmony which is set to revolutionalize the rate of transaction per second through deepsharding technology is the first project to be feature in the second quarter of 2019. The team had good strategy because the announcement came at the right time when the consensus 2019 is taking place.
thats probably the best recognition so far , Binance picks only sure shots and if we look at past Launchpad projects
Harmony has best potential to become huge project taking into account awesome tech and strong team

Wow thats coll. Binance Launchpad is good platform for launch IEO, this is great movement from Harmony project and i think it will be success.
an IEO project on binance, look like really interesting project
because this project will become the co-host from a Sharding focused forum to exploring the Real-world applications of Blockchain Sharding
really great start for this project
by the way good luck

Binance Launchpad is a great start for Harmony but people should focus what Harmony brings to the blockchain world. Its sharding technologhy will change everything you know.
Suddenly everyone seems talking about Harmony. Because it will be the next Binance launchpad project. Why binance select harmony as their next IEO? Because its has a unique concept and excellent DAV team. Congrats to Harmony team. Make Harmony project as memorable project in crypto world. Cheers
Congratulations Harmony team! Well done on everything you’ve achieved so far. I remember coming across this project mid last year and have been a close follower ever since. Binance launchpad news to top it off, this is only the beginning!

Harmony Annual Letter
Dear Harmony Community,
It’s been a year. We’d like to reflect on our journey, express gratitude to this community and tell you what’s next and why we’re still deeply committed to Harmony’s mission:
Harmony is a fast and secure blockchain. We are a 12-person team in Silicon Valley with 7 engineers from Google/Apple/Amazon and 2 PhDs. Our extended team of 36 strongly aligns with the mission of scaling trust and open consensus for billions of people.
Every week since early 2017, we have organized a 4-hour gathering of entrepreneurs in the Bay Area - that’s how our team and community of partners has been growing organically.
We spoke at San Francisco Blockchain Week and won the Most Innovative Award at ETHDenver. Our investors like Qtum 帅初, UVA 李江 and Lemniscap helped organize many events for our tours in China, Korea and Vietnam.
Our 12 media partners including Deepchain and SNEK are positioning Harmony as a strong Ethereum 2.0 contender. Many mainstream press and our own documentary are broadcasting our broader social impact of secure data sharing and its economy.
Our 20 key partners include Animoca (with game assets like Garfield), Contentos (a content platform with 60M monthly users) and Timeless (a calendar-based service marketplace) are validating our value as a platform. At scale, Harmony helps businesses tokenize their assets and incentivize user engagement.
We’ve recently launched Harmony Lottery (to demonstrate our decentralized randomness) with hundreds of users on the first day. Our next app, Harmony Game, will launch on Contentos aiming for 50k users in the first week, engaging our users daily for entertainment and skills.
Harmony also creates an open economy for data sharing. Businesses take years to form data consortiums such as ad exchanges and credit ratings. Harmony democratizes the value of consumers’ data while protecting their privacy.
Our token model is designed for sustainability and open governance. We allocate more tokens for protocol development and for ecosystem applications than for the team. Our node operators (about 100 in Q2 and 1000 in Q4) stake for 15% annual returns at 6% token inflation.
Harmony public network is operational and fully open source since Jan 2019. Our key innovations are state sharding and peer-to-peer networking. Our daily Github commits, 10 external contributors, 300 Discord members and $1M technical bounties showcase our deep belief in open development and open community.
In 2018 Q2, we raised a private round of $18.4M for 22.4% tokens at $82M valuation.
Founding Story & Core Team
Since 2017 many of Harmony’s founding team members would gather every week for hours in the tradition of Google TGIF to share world-changing ideas over drinks. We were all passionate about machine learning, then quickly blockchain, as they were technologies that could impact billions of people.
During these weekly gatherings, we discussed the huge potential of blockchain to create an open data economy, but that the ecosystem was held back by an inability to scale. With our depth of expertise from the big 5 tech firms, we felt compelled to build a blockchain that could support mass adoption and unlock the full promise of decentralization. That was Harmony.
We debated how to find product-market fit and build sustainable platforms on blockchain. We researched many technical approaches for scaling and security of smart contracts. We toured in Shenzhen and Beijing to understand the crypto communities and the entrepreneurial spirit in China.
The founding team has been full-time and on-site since 2018 June:
Stephen: Google engineer, startup founder (acquired by Apple), UPenn CS PhD
Nicolas: VR startup founder with $10M VC investment and 40 people, Math BS
Alok: Apple Siri NLP engineer, Carnegie Mellon AI MS
Rongjian: Google Search engineer, Maryland PhD candidate
Minh: Google Voice AI engineer, Olympiad champion, UC PhD candidate
Nick: Zeroth AI specialist, Stanford EE BS & MSc
Sahil: Edtech startup founder, Draper Dragon, Harvard MBA, CS BS
Eugene: Amazon/Blizzard/NTT networking engineer, CS BS
Leo: Amazon AWS & Kindle engineer & manager of 8, CS BS & MSc
Chao: Amazon NLP & fraud engineer, Math PhD
Li: logistics startup founder, Global Education Summit organizer, GSV Capital
Helen: DxChain PR Head, Bloomberg Senior Journalist, 第一财经周刊
Marketing & Community
We organically grew a global community to over 25,000 members, including:
5 community leads: Mary Dansker (Draper University mentor), Garlam Won (ICONIZ global partnership), 于忆 (Wuhan state-owned media journalist), Kevin Cheng (Cosmos designer), Robin Schmidt (filmmaker).
7 content strategists: Michael Spencer, Rohit Chatterjee, Ashvarya Kharoo, Misha Yurchenko, Michal Maler, Andrej Kovacevic
2 reward organizers: Sonny O. Azeez, Ahmed Dewanto
After a year of product building and mostly-offline community engagement, our marketing plan for the rest of 2019 includes:
Flood content (project updates, partnerships, news articles, podcasts) across all channels to reach critical awareness threshold for Harmony’s brand in the market
Leverage 20+ influencers and a reward program to drive viral engagement of our content
Use our 11 global ambassadors to build regional Harmony communities worldwide, hosting events and translating our newsletters and whitepaper into 10+ languages
