history
Harmony was founded in 2018 by Stephen Tse and co-founders Rongjian Lan, Nick White, and Sahil Dewan. Harmony launched its mainnet in June 2019 and open staking in May 2020.
Harmony raised an $18.3 million private round, a $5.5 million node round (led by Binance Labs and HashKey Capital), and a $5 million initial exchange offering (IEO) through Binance Launchpad.
At present, Harmony consists of 1,000 nodes, with 640 managed by community members. The Harmony Foundation maintains the remaining nodes, but the organization does not collect any staking rewards. As the network progresses, the team intends to open up the remaining node slots to the community.
