Why Should you buy Harmony One?

One of the significant problems that Ethereum has faced in recent times is its scalability. As of April 16, 2021, the average transaction fee on Ethereum is over $60. Harmony has its own blockchain sharding protocol for scaling Ethereum.

Harmony is fully interoperable with the Ethereum ecosystem and has a transaction confirmation speed of 2 seconds. It was launched back in May 2019 on Binance Launchpad. Since then the price of the coin has gone up by 750% from $0.02 to $0.15.

It is one of the first blockchain platforms to combine both sharding and staking. Harmony calls it ePOS (Effective Proof of Stake). It prevents centralisation by distributing equal rewards to both top stakers and casual stakers.

Having difficulties?

Confused by different order types?
– Limit
: allows you to specify the price at which the order will ‘fill’. If the price is rising, the order may not get filled, but if it does get filled it will always be at the price specified (or, sometimes a better price).
Market: buy or sell at the current price. Market orders always get filled, but in a volatile market are often risky as you won’t know the exact buy/sell price until after the order has filled.
Stop-Limit: we recommend you read Binance’s article about this type of order.
