Looking at the Harmony Protocol Project

Hello blockchain believers, I am writing to present you with titles that I believe are important in evaluating Blockchain projects.
Investors who research a project first examine two pieces of information.
1st. The project’s creative core team.
2nd ed. Partners with whom the project cooperates.
Harmony Team:
Before we begin to introduce you to the core team of the Harmony project, I’d like to start with a few words about Gizem Çakıl, with your permission. Gizem Çakıl is one of the major reasons I’m interested in the harmony project. She represents the very few women who have played an active role in the blockchain world. Gizem, a very positive energy, intelligent Turkish engineer, has studied industrial engineering at Koc University, which is famous for its high-quality education in my country. Pangaea’s mother, who represents a crucial stage of the project, is on break from Harvard Business School to scale global nodes. Gizem, in short, is our idol

I’m going back to the core squad now. The Harmony Project’s core team is genuinely dazzling. Let me try to explain it by quoting the team’s CEO, Stephen Tse, in his own words. If you look at the” We’re ambitiously idealistic “harmony site homepage, you’ll find the idealism claimed in this sentence from the first sentences. If you look at the members of the “Harmony for One and All “team, you think you’re in the United Nations organization. It has been color, race, and nation, especially with the last nine new Harmonauts added to the core team (a name given to those new to this team). The fact that the name of the project is Harmony also shows us the team’s spirit of humanism. It is not a coincidence that the platform was named Pangaea in the network setup for Harmony Network mainnet. Let me remind you, Pangaea is the name of a supercontinent that formed 250 million years before the continents began to separate. The project supports the establishment of a fairer economy and the balancing of money with market conditions. The idea of a decentralized mainnet formation is the result of this idealism. The Harmony project is step by step closer to its goal of building a global decentralized financial ecosystem, which has become even more evident with its latest partner, Wave Financial. From what I’ve written so far, don’t think the team is made up of politicians or economists. On the contrary, most of them are engineers and scientists who have worked for major companies in the computer world. Their academic careers are brilliant. Let’s get to know them::

Stephen Tse:

I told you our partners were our second important source of information on the quality of the project. The partners with which the Harmony Project collaborates are the most remarkable projects of recent months. And is in partnership with Binance, which has the largest trading volume as the cryptocoryne stock exchange.
I present to you the infography of my community friend Sakaleyn, who has beautiful detailed work on this subject.

Summarize:

The moment you look at the Harmony project team and its partners, you know you’re in the right place. The protocol developed by people who have proven their success in the field of Informatics and who have set out with the idea of a fairer and more harmonious world will surely take its place in our future.

“Harmony One and All”

I add links for investors who want to review our project. I wish everyone plenty of wins.
