>"Harmony is the first blockchain platform with combined sharding with PoS (Proof of Stake) consensus mechanism to provide fast finality and settle transactions within 2 seconds. Harmony is fully operable with Ethereum, similar to Layer 2 protocols, allowing developers to easily create and deploy DApps on Harmony’s blockchain. With a range of DeFi applications being developed on the platform, Harmony is poised to be a top blockchain for cross-chain finance in 2021."
