 ONE

Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency, was launched in 2009 introducing Blockchain technology. Blockchain as an emerging technology is an attractive investment option for businesses and organizations. However, many blockchain-based projects introduced could completely change the financial industry. One such project that you might be aware of is Ethereum, with its native cryptocurrency Ether (ETH).

However, in this article, we will discuss a much newer and perhaps a better-decentralized blockchain platform known as Harmony. Harmony ONE coin is its native cryptocurrency and you’ll be able to make an instant and no-KYC Harmony swap if you keep with us until the end of this piece.

What is Harmony ONE coin?

Harmony ONE coin is a proof-of-stake token, a native cryptocurrency of the Harmony platform. ONE offers low-fees, low-latency, and high-throughput with the goal to create an open and fast network of all nodes. Launched in June 2019, Harmony consensus platform was designed for a decentralized economy in the future. Harmony aims at tackling the issues faced in other blockchain platforms through the use of the best research and engineering practices in an optimally tuned system.

The technical focus of the Harmony project is on secure staking and resharding with decentralized randomness. At the same time, this project promises to the investors access to an ecosystem that would be adopted by different industries, with the main focus on decentralized marketplaces, data sharing, supply chain tracking, credit rating systems, ad exchanges and gaming.

In practice, Harmony will help organizations and companies to create marketplaces for fungible token usage, such as energy credits or loyalty points, and non-fungible assets, such as digital assets for a game. Moreover, Harmony uses zero-knowledge proofs to allow data sharing without compromising on safety and security.

Everything you need to know about Harmony ONE Coin

The Harmony platform is powered by Harmony ONE coin, which is the platform’s very own cryptocurrency. ONE coin allows users to participate in the ecosystem and serves as a payment method for performing many different actions on the platform. Using the Harmony blockchain platform, businesses and developers can easily create alignment in the goals and incentives of various stakeholders.

The Harmony ONE coin is designed to have the following three functions within the Harmony protocol:

  • Paying for storage, transaction or gas fees on the Harmony platform.
  • Staking for the consensus model, allowing stakeholders to earn block rewards and incentives as they make sure the network runs smoothly without any issues.
  • Enabling voting rights for on-chain governance.

Harmony started the migration process of ONE coins from the Ethereum and Binance blockchains to its own blockchain in January 2020. This was necessary for the purposes of staking and on-chain governance. Moreover, users now have to swap their BEP-2 (Binance) and ERC-20 (Ethereum) crypto coins for native ONE coins if they wish to participate in governance, staking, or any other activities on the Harmony blockchain network.

Moreover, the price of Harmony ONE coin is low right now. As the Harmony blockchain platform shows potential, the demand for ONE coin could go up and so could its price value. This means that Harmony ONE coin could prove to be very profitable for both crypto investors and crypto traders.

Key Features of Harmony

Harmony is a fast and secure blockchain platform with key innovations in peer-to-peer networking and state sharding. With the help of secure proof-of-stake and decentralized randomness, the network achieves optimal cross-shard routing and fast block propagation. While preserving user privacy, Harmony applies zero-knowledge proofs for data sharing.

In simple terms, these features help Harmony to get rid of structural limitations that prevent crypto coins from becoming genuine digital currencies. Harmony stands out because of its higher transaction throughput. Other blockchain platforms can only achieve similar performance gains by compromising on other features. Moreover, Harmony’s consensus protocol aims at achieving speed and energy efficiency.

An exchange rate is the rate at which one cryptocurrency can be exchanged for another through a certain crypto exchange provider. Cryptocurrency exchange rates on Swapzone reflect current prices of crypto assets and are updated every 30 seconds for you to keep track of any market changes and fluctuations to profit when buying the dip or going with the best exchange rate and the lowest exchange fees. All cryptocurrency exchange providers have their own rates, which depends on supply and demand, mining rewards, costs and so on. See what else might affect the rate in our article on prices.

There are two types of exchange rates aggregated by Swapzone – fixed rates and floating rates. To receive the exact amount of crypto that is displayed at the beginning of the exchange and shield yourself against the market's volatility, opt for fixed-rate offers. If you're ready to take a risk and receive less or more than the sum displayed, go with floating-rate offers but bear in mind that floating rates may drastically change any second.

Where to find the lowest transaction fees?

Crypto transaction fees may vary depending on the network (Ethereum transaction fees tend to spike during the congestion on the network), your chosen cryptocurrency, an instant exchange provider as well as its transaction processing speed and internal policy. These fees may be relatively low but it’s crucial to know they may be imposed in the first place.

If you want to exchange cryptocurrency with the lowest fees, beware of the offers with a grey-colored “Transaction fees are not included” label displayed under the exchange rate. To avoid having to pay an unexpected amount of fees during the exchange, opt for those that do not have that label. Read our articles to learn more about how to exchange cryptocurrency with the lowest fees and find out which assets have the lowest transaction fees.

What is average transaction time?

arrow

Transactions usually take from 5 to 30 minutes to be processed, especially if you choose currencies with speedy networks. However, there are several factors that may affect and slow down the exchange process, i.e. transaction volume, blockchain capacity, network updates, cryptocurrency itself and the capacity or chosen exchange platforms.

The processing may take longer due to the large transaction volume, congestion of the network, blockchain overload and market overload, technical issues or system failures, lack of liquidity or network maintenance.

The transaction may be also stuck if you forget to add a required Extra ID, mistake networks or use the wrong wallet for a chosen crypto asset. If you worry that the exchange processing is taking too long, please, contact us at [email protected] or via our live chat on the landing page.

Software wallets, or hot storage wallets, are connected to the Internet and come in many forms: Web, Desktop, Mobile or Browser Extensions.
