Harmony ICO Review

▤ Summary

The team are verifying that lock-free and allocator-free algorithms in Rust scale linearly on a 96-core unikernel on Amazon Cloud, and that Google’s UDP sustains broadcast at 100ms latency with 10,000 nodes and saturated 10 Gbps links. There are also projects such as High Performance Blockchain, Dfinity, and Seele that are addressing similar issues, and Harmony is entering a rather crowded sector that will only continue to attract further participants. They generally seek to master innovations already proven in practice, and focus on the key components of transport networks, consensus protocols, and systems tooling. Scalability remains a crucial issue in the blockchain economy and any project that is able to solve the problem and also attract users to their platform will experience a considerable appreciation in value. In addition, projects such as Dfinity, that sought to raise around $90 million during their ICO show that the high throughput blockchain sector is one of the larger segments of the industry that is consistently able to generate funds.
