Harmony May Updates: Team Off-Site, Infinity Wallet, Chainstack and 1Wallet
We have a number of updates to share from the month of May. Some highlights include our Q2 2022 offsite meeting which produced new initiatives and priorities, Ankr’s RPC aggregator on Harmony for increased RPC availability and redundancy, and the Harmony mainnet network upgrade which further decentralized the network and added fast node sync.
Read our May highlights below and follow us @harmonyprotocol to stay updated.
Q2 2022 Team Offsite: In May, the Harmony core team held a four-day offsite meeting. The meet came at a pivotal moment, where the team reviewed areas of improvement on ecosystem grants and management, aligned our mission and vision and addressed community sentiment. We also published the offsite report where we highlight action items and initiatives resulting from the offsite event.
Harmony Twitter Reaches 400K Followers: The Harmony Twitter community surpassed over 400,000 members.
ZKU July-August Cohort: The applications for the July-August cohort of Harmony’s Zero-Knowledge University are now open. Interested candidates can apply for the free for all learning initiative by June 27.
OneWeekly: In May, we continued with our approach of open development through the ONEWeekly newsletter and video series, which featured ecosystem highlights, new partnerships, Harmony Q2 Offsite and the Harmony roadmap.
Cross-Shard Communication: The Harmony team is also working on efficient cross-shard communication to scale sharding at Harmony for both users and developers. With cross-shard messaging, applications deployed on different shards can directly call DEXes on another shard and utilize the liquidity from that shard. The protocol can be expected to be shipped later this year.
Infinity Wallet: In May, Infinity Wallet extended support to Harmony-based dApps, which are now available to users right inside the wallet.
Chainstack: The Harmony public API powered by Chainstack was released to developers. Chainstack provides reliable mainnet and testnet infrastructure to developers building on Harmony.
Ankr: Ankr released their RPC aggregator on Harmony, which will help developers to implement decentralized nodes on Harmony Protocol without ever having to set up their own RPC.
PolyNetwork: PolyNetwork went live on Harmony in may, allowing users to utilize the Poly Bridge, Explorer and their other products for easier interoperability across blockchains.
XP Network: Using the XP NFT Bridge, anyone can move their NFTs from other blockchains into the Harmony ecosystem.
ReImagine V.12: Leo Hao, VP of Engineering at Harmony participated in the ReImagine V.12 event, where he talked about the NFT and Web3 revolution we are a part of.
1Wallet Goes Into Android Beta: After iOS, Harmony’s social wallet — 1Wallet, has gone into Android beta. To be a part of the beta, users can apply to join the waitlist.
Permissionless: Members of Harmony attended the Permissionless event by Blockworks, where they connected with builders, creatives and enthusiasts from the ONE community.
Network Upgrade: The Harmony mainnet received a network upgrade to version 4.3.9 in May. The release featured progress on decentralization, peer-to-peer connection and faster sync.
Head Of Marketing: As we continue building a decentralized and multi-chain future, we are on the lookout for an experienced Head of Marketing who is passionate about building and growing with our vision.
