What is Harmony?
The mainnet of Harmony which had 600 nodes happens to be the first fully sharded POS blockchain, and was launched on the 28th of June. Its large number of nodes made it one of the top 15 networks that is decentralized. Harmony looks forward to making an addition of 4 shards with 400 nodes each, making it a total of 1600 nodes in the phase 2 version of its mainnet. A token swap to the native ONE token, alongside the token transfers and staking smart contract will also be included in the Phase 2 of Harmony's mainnet.
Harmony is a comprehensive, very robust platform that can support more than 10B people, offering a safe, fast and dynamic experience to all users.
Harmony takes the terms scalability and performance to a higher level, using an innovative consensus protocol based on fragments which increases in proportion to the number of nodes in the network.
Blockchain Technology
Harmony not only focuses on the aspect of transactions made per second, but also places great importance on the number of nodes that participate in the decentralized blockchain network.
Harmony is not the result of improvisation, it is a well thought out project that can revolutionize the world. Harmony is now available to all those who wish to add and not subtract. The Harmony team wishes, from what I have read, for everyone to do tests, and then do more tests, give comments, provide suggestions.
Harmony can give humanity a true digital freedom, where corporations cannot hijack the right to interact, where intermediaries must give up their position and get involved in this blockchain revolution if they don't want to disappear.
It certainly seems like a dream, a virtually infinite, secure, decentralized blockchain, where everyone contributes, everyone wins, applicable in so many things. It seems like a dream, but one that comes true.

Roadmap
This linear scaling enables Harmony blockchain to increase the number of transactions per second as the network becomes more heavily used! The testnet of Harmony proved it can handle more than 118,000 transactions per second.
