Harmony’s open, decentralized network is enabled through the use of the native protocol token - Harmony ONE. The token incentivizes and rewards a variety of participants including developers, validators/stakers, investors, and community members who develop, secure and govern the network. In order to use the network, users pay a small transaction fee denominated in the native Harmony token. Harmony’s scalable, high-throughput protocol is powered by a native token which is used for various forms of payment and participation in the protocol (staking, transaction fees, voting & governance). Harmony uses blockchain to align incentives of different stakeholders, developers and businesses while allowing them to build open marketplaces of fungible and non-fungible tokens and assets. Furthermore, the upcoming application of zero-knowledge proofs will allow Harmony to become a data sharing platform that can overcome the conflicting problem plaguing many information and data markets: that individual market participants’ have mutual distrust to share data but strong desire to acquire data themselves. The Harmony token will function in the following aspects of the protocol: The token is used for staking, which is necessary to participate in the POS consensus & earn block rewards and transaction fees. The token is used to pay for transaction fees, gas and storage fees. The token is used in voting for on-chain governance of the protocol.
Huobi Pool Token (HPT) is an ecological sub-token based on Huobi Token (HT). A total of approximately 10 billion HPTs are issued by Huobi Pool, and the targets include HT holders, community users of Huobi Pool and others. As a subsidiary brand of Huobi Group, Huobi Pool is an important component of Huobi’s ecological strategies worldwide. Putting forward the innovative idea of 'mining is mining', it covers POS, DPOS, POW and other consensus mechanisms. HPT holders can fully participate in the future development of Huobi Pool, and get airdropped rewards and share the growing value of Huobi Pool by participating in mining on a daily basis.
