? ?A Huge Thanks to our Sponsors Nervos Network and Harmony

About Nervos Network: Nervos is building a layered infrastructure for the future crypto economy. The native token is designed to represent the right to occupy the state storage over time. Its utility primarily resembles estate as a preservation platform but also functions as money (to transfer value) and fuel (to pay for computation). The protocol constraints state storage growth through its monetary policy, and collects state rent through a “targeted inflation” scheme from state users. Checkout Nervos’s token-economic paper

About Harmony: Harmony is a fast and secure blockchain with key innovations in state sharding (secure staking & re-sharding with decentralized randomness) and in peer-to-peer networking (optimal cross-shard routing, fast block propagation).
