By PJ Conley

Harmony’s September is in the books! We made a large presence in the metaverse this month. As our $1M Hackathon comes to a close, we are just getting started with making our mark. Read below to find out what amazing things have occurred this month.

But before we dive in, make sure to follow @harmonyprotocol on Twitter to stay updated on everything Harmony related.

Key Accomplishments

$300M Ecosystem Fund: Harmony has launched a $300M fund to enhance the growth of our ecosystem. If you have a ready-to-launch project please see the guidelines here for more information. You can apply for a grant here and a member of the Harmony team will respond to you directly on that forum.

Harmony threw a kickoff event to get the word out about this $300M fund. This event helped developers and creatives learn how to build on Harmony.

$1 Million Hackathon: Harmony has officially closed the hackathon. This Hackathon was an opportunity for web3 and web2 developers to get together and build exciting apps, protocols, and tools. We want to thank all of those who participated in this hackathon and our amazing prize partners.

Congratulations to each of the winners of our $1 Million Hackathon! The winners of each track were announced and can be found in this Tweet thread:

Curve Launched on Harmony Mainnet: Harmony’s proposal for Curve to launch on Harmony was passed in September and on October 12th Curve officially launched on our mainnet. Harmony is providing $2 million in ONE tokens to bootstrap the initial usage.

Community Proposal for Aave Launch: The vote has been passed to deploy Aave v2 on the Harmony blockchain to expand lending to its community of users and provide incentives to bootstrap the launch of Aave to a new ecosystem. Harmony will start with $5 million in incentives to bootstrap initial usage of Aave on Harmony.

Anyswap Brings the Bitcoin Bridge to Harmony: Anyswap and Harmony came together to support bridging native BTC directly to Harmony. Now Bitcoin holders have a direct way to bridge and access decentralized finance products on Harmony and earn yield on their Bitcoin while holding on to their full balance. Then we announced that the community can bridge assets between Polygon and Harmony with Anyswap, read the article here.

DappRadar Now Tracking Dapps on Harmony Blockchain: The number one dapp marketplace, DappRadar, has integrated Harmony Protocol in its services. At launch, DappRadar begins tracking 15 dapps in the Harmony ecosystem, giving consumers insight into individual dapps. Users of the dapp discovery platform can use the Harmony Rankings to easily see which dapps have seen the most activity in the past 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days.

FTX has listed Harmony (ONE) perpetual futures: With over 1 million users and averaging over $10B of daily trading volume, FTX has grown into one of the world’s leading crypto exchanges. The platform serves the entire chain of cryptocurrency trading participants from retail and crypto-native investors, to sophisticated day traders, family offices, and experienced institutional traders.

Harmony and Stake DAO Announce Strategic DeFi Partnership: Stake DAO will soon be launching it’s ONE validator and offer staking-as-a-service to the ONE community. We will now be working together to create innovative strategies and bring the best of DeFi to the Harmony ecosystem.

Harmony at September’s Events: Harmony ventured across the country to join fellow crypto enthusiasts in Denver, New York, and Wyoming. MCON, Mainnet, and WyoHackathon were events where Harmony was able to create new connections with those in the crypto, DeFi, and DAO spaces. View all the video content from these events here and keep reading below to find exclusive interviews with Stephen Tse and other great minds at MCON 👇

We also sponsored an event held in Los Angeles hosted by Praise Token on the 8th of October. This was used to help foster new relationships with those in the NFT space and grow our Harmony LA telegram group.

You can read more about the Hackathon and Harmony’s growth strategy from Stephen Tse’s Tweet thread here.

ONE Single-Sided Staking on Bancor: Bancor has officially whitelisted ONE (ERC-20) with a co-investment of 150,000 BNT, allowing for the token to be traded with liquidity provided.
