Harmony (ONE)

Harmony is an EVM-compatible, sharded Layer 1 blockchain, and ONE is its protocol-native asset used for transaction fees, staking and value transfer.

BitcoinToolkit separates CoinGecko aggregated ONE/USD data from the Binance Spot ONE/USDT market and explains ONE units, gas, account-based execution, sharding, EPoS and FBFT finality.

Harmony Network and ONE

Harmony is the sharded network, ONE is its protocol-native asset, and contract-token balances are maintained in smart-contract state.

Page subject

Harmony

Fee asset

Harmony (ONE): ONE pays transaction execution fees on Harmony.

Staking asset

Harmony (ONE): Validators and delegators use ONE in Harmony Effective Proof of Stake.

Network family

EVM Layer 1

Network

Harmony is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 network that divides network, transaction and state processing across shards.

Role distinction

Native ONE belongs to protocol account state and pays network fees; contract-token balances belong to token-contract storage.

Harmony Accounts

Harmony uses account-based EVM state with balances, nonces, contract code and persistent contract storage.

Account-based state

Each shard maintains account state that changes when valid transactions execute.

Externally owned accounts

A private key controls an externally owned account and signs transactions.

Contract accounts

Contract accounts contain deployed EVM bytecode and execute when called.

Nonce

A sender nonce orders transactions and prevents replay on the applicable shard.

Balance

An account balance records native ONE available for transfers and gas fees.

Code execution

Harmony executes EVM-compatible bytecode against the state of the target shard.

Contract storage

Contracts maintain persistent storage after successful execution and block commitment.

ONE Units

One ONE equals 1,000,000,000 nano or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 atto.

Decimal precision18 decimal places
Harmony (ONE)10^18 atto | 18 decimals
Nano (nano)10^9 atto | 9 decimals
Atto (atto)1 atto | 0 decimals

Wallets display ONE, fee interfaces may use nano, and raw Harmony values are represented in integer atto.

Harmony Gas and Fees

Harmony meters EVM-compatible computation in gas and charges the execution fee in native ONE.

Fee asset

ONE

Gas

Gas measures computation and storage work requested by a transaction.

Gas limit

The gas limit caps the work a transaction may consume.

Gas used

Gas used records the work consumed by execution.

Gas price

The gas price states the amount of ONE-denominated atto offered per gas unit.

Execution cost

Execution cost equals gas used multiplied by gas price and is paid in ONE.

Harmony Transactions

A Harmony transaction is created for a shard, signed, validated, propagated, executed, included in a block and finalized through FBFT.

  1. Transaction creationThe sender sets the shard, recipient, value, data, nonce and gas parameters.
  2. SigningThe sender signs the transaction with the account private key.
  3. Nonce validationNodes validate the signature, nonce, balance, shard fields and transaction rules.
  4. BroadcastThe signed transaction is submitted to a Harmony RPC endpoint for the selected shard.
  5. Node propagationValid transactions propagate among nodes serving the shard.
  6. ExecutionThe EVM applies the transaction against shard state and meters gas.
  7. Receipt generationExecution produces a receipt containing status, gas usage and logs.
  8. Block inclusionA shard committee leader proposes a block containing accepted transactions.
  9. Finality stateMore than two-thirds of committee voting power signs the block through FBFT before it is committed.

Harmony Smart Contracts

Harmony supports EVM-compatible contracts while adding shard-aware transaction behavior.

Contract accounts

Contract accounts contain deployed bytecode and have no private signing key.

Bytecode execution

Compiled EVM bytecode executes under Harmony shard and gas rules.

Storage

Contracts read and update persistent state in the shard where they execute.

Contract calls

Calls can transfer native ONE and pass encoded input to contract functions.

Token contracts

Token contracts maintain balances and allowances independently from native ONE.

Native asset and token roles

Native ONE pays protocol gas; contract tokens cannot automatically replace ONE as the fee asset.

Harmony EPoS, FBFT and Finality

Harmony uses Effective Proof of Stake to elect shard committees and Fast Byzantine Fault Tolerance to commit blocks after a supermajority vote.

Consensus model

Harmony combines Effective Proof of Stake validator election with shard-level Fast Byzantine Fault Tolerance consensus.

Validator model

Elected validator BLS keys are assigned to shard committees with voting power derived from effective stake.

Block proposal

A committee leader proposes a block and coordinates announce, prepare and commit phases.

Attestations

Committee validators verify and sign the block hash using BLS signatures during prepare and commit phases.

Finality model

A block is committed after signatures representing more than two-thirds of committee voting power are collected in the FBFT commit process.

Application limitation

Applications should use the current shard RPC result and cross-shard receipt status rather than assuming every cross-shard action completes in one local block.

Harmony FAQ

Answers to common questions about Harmony, ONE, gas, sharding, EPoS and FBFT finality.

What is Harmony?

Harmony is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 network that shards network, transaction and state processing.

What is ONE used for?

ONE is Harmony's native asset for transaction fees, staking, delegation and value transfer.

How are Harmony gas fees paid?

Harmony meters EVM execution in gas and charges the resulting fee in native ONE.

What are atto and nano?

Atto is the smallest ONE unit and nano equals one billion atto.

How does Harmony finality work?

Harmony shard committees use FBFT and commit a block after more than two-thirds of voting power signs it.
