Therefore, Harmony aims at bringing more traditional finance experts to add their knowledge to decentralized finance.

Harmony also mentioned that traditional finance experts have many things to teach them in DeFi. Likewise, DeFi practitioners can also help them understand the sector more and learn how to utilize it. So, it will be a mutually beneficial event for both TradiFi and Defi.

A Brief on Harmony

Harmony is a Sharding protocol that uses a “Trustless Ethereum Bridge” to separate its blockchain into different segments. These segments are responsible for the processing and storage of data in parallel.

The mainnet launched in 2019, and since then, the company has partnered with many others to push its operations further. Also, Harmony has completed many integrations since then as well. For instance, it added Terra to its blockchain to use the token on the apps in the ecosystem.

The registration will end on August 15, and teams can only be 5 people. Once they reached the submission deadline, the event will kick-off.
