Using Harmony hardware wallet on the Ledger requires a few things. You will need:

• Your Ledger

• The Harmony app installed on your Ledger

MetaMask is an extension for accessing Harmony enabled distributed applications, or "dapps", from your browser. The extension injects the Harmony web3 API into every website's javascript context, so that Web3 applications can read from the blockchain.

In this section, we walk through the process of installing MetaMask, configuring it on the Harmony network, and importing an existing account using a previously generated private key.

Click here to install the MetaMask extension on your browser. It can be installed on most desktop browsers. Just click on the installation button to begin the process. Once installed, continue to the next section to add the Harmony network to your new wallet.

1. What does Expires In mean?

1wallets have an expiration date. It means that once the expiration date is reached, all your funds will be automatically sent to the recovery address you set.

2. What does Daily Limit mean?

The daily limit for 1wallet is set to 1000 ONE's. This means you cannot transfer more than this amount daily.

The easiest way to get detailed help is to use the cli itself. For example below is the cookbook which gives an overview of various commands.

You can find your token from your final step transaction if it’s correctly displayed (sometimes there are delays in data representation).There is a token symbol near the amount in “Tokens transferred”/ ”Token transfers” section that leads to the token page.

You can also look for the token in a token list on your wallet address page in the target chain explorer (it also can take some time for a token to appear).

Click on the token symbol, and you’ll see all necessary token information.


Don’t forget, that address should be in ETH style (starting 0x...). For Harmony Explorer, there is a switcher in the top right corner.

If you can’t find your token there, please use to find a token address you should have after the bridge.

After you find your token, add it to your wallet as shown You can avoid this process if you use Add token to Metamask button on the bottom your bridge operation page after operation is completed:

Check that you add token to a receiver wallet of your operation and the wallet is connected to the correct network.

The Harmony team is focused on delivering a strong foundation for our network and ecosystem.

Security Goals

ONE Wallet is designed with these goals in mind for security:

Social (people)

• Resilient. Funds are recoverable through time locks and multiple safety nets. No single point of failure such as thefts, cracks, loss, censorship or coercions is catastrophic.

• Sufficient. All steps are well defined without delegating to hardware devices or seed phrases in safety boxes. Users do not need any passwords or rely on biometrics.

• Anonymous. An account is a fresh cryptographic hash, not tied to existing systems or real-world identity. Derived paths support multiple public keys to protect privacy.

Smart (code)

• Composable. One-time or low-entropy passwords are useful for small funds. Multiple authentications can independently boost protection thresholds against brute-force.

• On-chain. A decentralized network with high stakes and fast finality validates all transactions. Its platform has sustainable incentives and open governance to evolve.

• Programmable. Operations can call third-party contracts, store history of states, or upgrade its code. Complex applications may use oracles of time, locations and events.

Hard (math)

• Self-Sovereign. No third parties, government documents, designated guardians, backup servers or hardware enclaves are necessary. Users have full custody and self control.

• Air-Gapped. Key-loggers and man-in-the-middle attacks are minimized. The full parameters of transactions are easy to verify and approve without cables or cameras.

• Verified. Trusted are only open source and hardened cryptography. Formal verification, through logical frameworks, assures end-to-end security beyond tests and audits.

Tradeoffs

There may be conflicts, tradeoffs or impracticality of the goals above. Here's our rule of thumb:

1. Toward validating our innovation with 10k users (each with $100 assets), focus on these three goals: sufficient, resilient and composable.

2. Toward adopting our product with 1m users (each with $1k assets), differentiate with these three goals: on-chain, self-sovereign and air-gapped

Trezor wallet can be used along with Metamask to perform ONE transfers on Harmony network. Follow the steps below.

Note that, load the Ethereum firmware (or app) for signing the transactions on the trezor device. Currently, Harmony does not have a separate trezor firware. There is a for adding Harmony to trezor firmware. After this bounty is finished, the users will be able to both transfer ONE and perform staking using trezor using Harmony firmware (or app).

Ledger Nano X and Nano S

The Nano X and Nano S are hardware wallets created by Ledger. A hardware wallet stores the private keys to Harmony tokens on a separate device, making it much harder for malicious parties to steal them. In fact, the private keys never leave the Nano wallet itself, so they will remain secure even if the device is connected to a compromised computer. As long as you follow best practices when using your Nano, it is virtually impossible for an attacker to steal your funds.

Metamask can be used along with ledger to perform transfers.

Outgoing transactions

Since there is no shard selection in the Trust Wallet UI, all transactions will originate from shard 0 and will be sent to shard 0.

For more details, please see these example cross-shard transactions using Trust Wallet:

What to do if you receive funds in a shard other than shard 0 when using Trust Wallet?

You will need to export the account in which you received the funds and import it to another wallet such as the CLI or Math Wallet.

Introduction

hmy is the official Command Line Interface (CLI) provided by Harmony. You can use it as a local wallet and as a way to interact with your Ledger Nano device. The hmy CLI is completely open-source. You can track its development and post any issues encountered and your feature suggestions here.

Features

With the hmy CLI you can create a wallet, check your balance, send signed transactions to the Harmony blockchain, look up previous transactions, recover keys from previous mnemonics, create new keystores, and create new BLS keys.

Supported Platforms

• OSX: main development platform

• Linux: tested

• Windows: tested/working under Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

Release information

We will always upload the latest production release on and announce future uploads in pre-production releases.

Download Harmony CLI tool

1. For Linux

Enter the following command into your shell of choice:

2. For MacOS

hmy depends on some dynamic libraries, hence we recommend using the shell wrapper. Enter there commands into your terminal:

Now you can use hmy.sh as a wrapper over hmy and you should assume that all references to hmy in these documents refer to hmy.sh. For example, the command ./hmy becomes ./hmy.sh -- .

3. Compiling from source

If you are interested in compiling from source, then the process is more involved.

Steps:

1. Clone the at the same level as the main Harmony repo:

1. Then setup the build flags:

1. Call make in the go-sdk repo. This builds a binary named hmy:

Congratulations! You can now use the binary to run the CLI.

New Wallet

Using the Binary:

Using the Shell Wrapper:

Example:

This creates a keystore at the following directory:(hmy keys location)/account-name1/UTC--2019-09-16T21-25-35.297331000Z--678e7ea3dcb5f4e9724c0e761843572f10c49b73

When creating keys this way, hmy will ask you to provide a passphrase.‌ Make sure you keep track of this passphrase for future use because the passphrase is used to decrypt the keystore when signing transactions. Also make sure you save the seed phrase, also called a mnemonic.

To know where your wallet file has been created, run the following command:

Using the Binary:

Using the Shell Wrapper:

You can check the list of wallets (local accounts) with the following command:

Using the Binary:

Using the Shell Wrapper:

Import Wallet

Importing a Keystore

‌You might have an existing keystore made by Harmony's old wallet.sh program that ends with ".key" in the file name (example):

one16qsd5ant9v94jrs89mruzx62h7ekcfxmduh2rx.key

Or that starts with "UTC" in the file name (example):

UTC--2020-01-15T01-02-06.606670000Z--9689a0711642bf08ea92ed98d552f0c1b8c8cefb

Both these files can be imported into hmy using the command import-ks as shown below.

Using the Binary:

Using the Shell Script:

Examples:

‌Keep in mind that you should know the passphrase associated with the imported keystore and pass it as a parameter as shown in the commands above. For keystores created by Harmony's wallet.sh, the default passphrase is an empty string; this matters for signing transactions.‌

Importing a Private Key

Sometimes you might have a secp256k1 private key, such as the one generated from the following command:

You can import the key with an optional name and passphrase

Using the Binary:

Using the Shell Script:

Example:

If no account name is provided, a random word concatenated with -imported will be used. If no passphrase is provided, the default passphrase will be used (which is blank). Note that the CLI currently only supports importing secp256k1 private keys.

Importing a Mnemonic Phrase

You can recover lost wallet keys by entering the mnemonic words you received (and hopefully saved) when creating it:

Using the Binary:

Using the Shell Script:

Example:

Perhaps the most important feature of the hmy CLI is the ability to create and send signed transactions to the Harmony blockchain.

Using the Binary:

Using the Shell Wrapper:

Example:

Checking the transaction hash

Check for finality of the transaction by using the transaction hash like so:

Using the Binary:

Using the Shell Wrapper:

Example:

Detail

ChainIDs

Let's first check what chain-ids are available for us to use, we can do that easily with:

Using the Binary:

Using the Shell Wrapper:

Example:

Notice that the output is pretty printed JSON, most outputs of hmy are JSON encoded and hmy defaults to showing it nicely indented. Sometimes though you might want to turn that off, you can do that for any command with the flag --no-pretty.

By default, hmy assumes the testnet chain-id; override that with the --chain-id flag

Our first transaction

We'll use the transfer subcommand of hmy to send a transaction.

Notice that simply invoking the transfer subcommand gave us an error message about certain flags not being set. We'll need to provide legitimate values for these flags for our transaction to proceed successfully. Reading off the flags in the error message from left to right, the semantic meanings are as follows:

• amount: The quantity of Harmony One token to transfer from the senders to the receiver

• from: The sender's one address

• from-shard

A sharded blockchain is a new kind of blockchain architecture where the network is partitioned into sub-networks called shards. Sharding is one of the distinguishing features of Harmony and it is key to solving the traditional scalability problems encountered in other blockchain protocols.

Note: The same ONE address will have a different balance in each shard. Currently Harmony mainnet has four shards while testnet has three shards. Sending a transaction from one shard to another is called a "cross-shard transaction."

Thus, a correct usage of transfer looks like:

Using the Binary:

Using the Shell Wrapper:

Example:

Try out your transaction with the flag --dry-run, this flag tells hmy to create, cryptographically sign the transaction but not actually send it off. Sender's balances are checked and the output is a JSON dump of the signed transaction.

Signing and sending a transaction is very quick, about 2 seconds maximum. The actual sending of the transaction is done via an RPC (Remote Procedure Call), you'll notice that we did not explicitly say where to send the transaction to. This is because the default destination of the RPC call goes to http://localhost:9500, the default HTTP RPC server running when you start a local harmony blockchain. For real world usage though, you'll want a different location. You can control that with the --node flag (see the top of this page for an example).

Result of the transaction

Once an RPC machine receives a transaction, it sends you back a transaction hash. This transaction hash is the key identifier used when querying the blockchain for transactions.

We can pull down details of the finalized transaction with ./hmy blockchain transaction-receipt as well:

Using the Binary:

Using the Shell Wrapper:

Example:

You can tell hmy to wait until transaction confirmation by providing a positive integer value to flag --wait-for-confirm. For example, --wait-for-confirm=10 will try checking the receipt of the transaction for 10 seconds.

Delegating to a Validator

You can delegate tokens to a validator using the following command:

./hmy --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io" staking delegate \
    --delegator-addr [ONE ADDRESS] --validator-addr [ONE ADDRESS] \
    --amount [AMOUNT] --passphrase

The CLI will ask for the passphrase for the delegator-addr keystore file.

--delegator-addr is the ONE address of the delegator (string)

--validator-addr is the ONE address of the validator (string)

--amount is the number of ONE tokens to delegate to the validator (float)

Undelegating from a Validator

You can un-delegate tokens from a validator using the following command:

The CLI will ask for the passphrase for the delegator-addr keystore file.

--delegator-addr is the ONE address of the delegator (string)

--validator-addr is the ONE address of the validator (string)

--amount is the number of ONE tokens to un-delegate (float)

Collecting Rewards

You can collect your block rewards with the following command:

The CLI will prompt your for the passphrase of the delegation account.

--delegator-addr is the account to collect rewards for

Get JSON output of balances on all shards of a given ONE address with the balances subcommand:

Using the Binary:

./hmy balances <ONE-address> --node="<endpoint-address>"

Using the Shell Wrapper:

Example:

hmy provides several subcommands under the blockchain subcommand which let you query the blockchain.

--node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io"

List of available commands

By using ./hmy blockchain help command we can see that the following options are available:

Here are some examples of the above commands that you will use frequently:

transaction-by-hash

Checking the hash of your transaction to see the transaction data and if the transaction has been completed

Using the Binary:

Using the Shell Wrapper:

Example:

transaction-receipt

Get information about a finalized transaction:

Using the Binary:

Using the Shell Wrapper:

Example:

latest-header command

Checking the network status, last block, epoch, leaders, based on the shard number:

Using the Binary:

Using the Shell Wrapper:

Example:

block-by-number

Using the Binary:

Using the Shell Wrapper:

Example:

Here is the list of failed transaction messages which can be checked by querying your transaction hash, checking the transaction hash on explorer or checking the blockchain pool transactions.

Here is how with the hmy cli :

./hmy failures plain --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io"

./hmy.sh -- failures plain --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io"

Generate Markdown Documentation

if you want a full list of commands the hmy tool knows in markdown format, please run the following command:

./hmy docs

Then in the same directory, hmy creates a directory named hmy-docs in which you can find all markdown files for the commands and subcommands.

Step 3: Click the Yield tab to check which farms are available on the Harmony network that you would like to join.

Step 4: Click the Pool tab

Step 5: Select the tokens for a valid token pair you wish to add liquidity to *Note, when adding liquidity to a pair, both sides of the pair need to have exact monetary value.

For example: [$100 1USDC / $100 ONE], would be [100 USDC / 1525 ONE] at time of writing

Step 6: Add the amount of tokens you wish to add to the pool of the first token. The Sushi platform will automatically add the equal monetary value of liquidity to the second asset, given there is sufficient balance

Step 7: Approve Sushi to access your tokens from your wallet

Step 8: Click Supply, then Confirm Supply in the popup

Step 9: Approve the transaction and relevant fees from your wallet, you will now receive your liquidity pair or LP tokens

Step 10: Once the transaction approves, click the Yield tab and click the yield farming pair you wish to join, you should see your Wallet Balance now displays your received LP tokens

Step 11: Input the amount of LP tokens you wish to add to the farm or click MAX

Step 12: Click Approve

Step 13: Allow Sushi to spend your SLP tokens from your wallet

Step 14: Click Deposit

Step 15: Confirm the transaction and the relevant fees from your wallet

Go to https://github.com/polymorpher/one-wallet/releases/tag/v0.1-cli and download the file that is appropriate to your operating system (1wallet-linux, 1wallet-macos, or 1wallet-win.exe).

• I saved it in my downloads folder, but you can save it anywhere.

• Open your Terminal (I'm a Mac user), and run the following commands:

cd downloads

chmod +x ./1wallet

./1wallet

Now that you have installed your CLI 1Wallet, you can do several things including:

Commands:
  
./1wallet scan                            Build a new wallet and show its setup 
                                          QR code in terminal

./1wallet make <recovery-address> <code>  Deploy the wallet you just built to 
                                          blockchain and make it your "main" 
                                          wallet

./1wallet send <address> <amount> <code>  Send funds to another address

./1wallet main <wallet>                   Change "main" wallet

./1wallet list                            Show all wallets (address, name,
                                          balance)

Options:
      --help      Show help                                           [boolean]
  -n, --network   The network you want to use. Can be mainnet, testnet, or any
                  valid URL                       [string] [default: "mainnet"]
  -r, --relayer   The relayer you want to use. Can be "beta" (hosted by ONE
                  Wallet) or any valid URL           [string] [default: "beta"]
  -p, --password  The password for accessing the Relayer. Default is
                  "onewallet" which is password for the "beta" relayer hosted
                  by ONE Wallet.                [string] [default: "onewallet"]
  -w, --wallet    The wallet you are going to use for transfer funds. By
                  default, the main wallet is used, which is the last wallet
                  you created                                          [string]
  -s, --store     Path of which your wallet data is stored. By default the data
                  is stored in a subdirectory "wallets" where this command line
                  tool is executed.               [string] [default: "wallets"]
      --version   Show version number                                 [boolean]

The first step is to scan the QR code.

Once you have done that, you can run the next command using the 6 digit authenticator code and a recovery address of your choice to create your 1Wallet.

You should see a screen like this on your Terminal (yes, do you like my Matrix themed Terminal?):

After that you can try to send a small amount of tokens to your newly created 1Wallet and in general test some of the other commands and functionalities.

Let us know if you find any issues:

balajis.com @balajis · Jun 11 Replying to @matthew_d_green Yes. But here’s a possibly dumb workaround:

1) A listens for events on chain 2) B sends a decryption request for resource to A’s address 3) A returns decrypted version, re-encrypted with B’s public key, if in a valid time window

Sort of like multisig with restrictions?

stephen tse | s.one @stse · Jul 3 smartotp by @IHomoliak has a research paper & a prototype - with a wallet for private keys

"keyless wallet" by @dionyziz has a theoretical result assuming witness encryption

our @1wallet_ by @polymorpher has a mainnet demo with hardened client security

nick.eth @nicksdjohnson · Jun 11 Replying to @AutismCapital 2FA only works when you have a central service that controls access to your data. The wallet equivalent of 2FA is a hardware wallet.

stephen tse | s.one @stse · Jul 4 why can't public and decentralized platforms do 2fa services?

Pedro Gomes 🦇🔊📲 @pedrouid · Feb 13 Replying to @zmanian I think it’s also due to user demand

A pure wallet would essentially just display different signing authorization screens without a specific use-case

Cryptocurrency wallets on the other hand transfer funds, show balances, etc

stephen tse | s.one @stse · Jul 4 how about separating wallets from authenticator? with one-time-password (otp) like google auth

Coinbase Rosetta API

Harmony has finished it’s initial integration with the Rosetta API specification — an open-source framework to simplify blockchain interactions.

So why did we choose Rosetta? Well, the biggest thing for us is that it allows for faster onboarding since it is a standard, chain agnostic, framework with sharding as a first-class citizen. Among other things, this greatly reduces interoperability friction between products spanning multiple chains. Moreover, Rosetta’s growing community and tooling were major factors as it means less effort from the Harmony team is needed to implement and, more importantly, maintain our Node API.

By partnering with Gitcoin, Harmony reaffirms its commitment to developers. Overall we’re excited to partner with Gitcoin in our shared goal of growing the web3 open-source ecosystem.

Magic (Fortmatic)

Magic is an SDK for developers to create passwordless and social and email logins. Magic makes dapps authentication and key management easy, like a web2 experience, and removes headaches for developers.

Chainlink

Chainlink’s decentralized oracle will be launching on Harmony. This integration will provide off-chain data resources via Chainlink oracles to users of Harmony, giving developers price feeds and other off-chain data to use in their applications. This move is critical, especially as Harmony draws more of its attention to DeFi applications and cross-border finance.

Band Protocol

Our integration with Band gives developers another option for accessing off-chain data on Harmony, a much greater selection of data formats and types, and different ways of interacting with off-chain data based on the developer’s preferences unlocked through Band Protocol’s custom oracle scripts.

Why Finance? Blockchains enable many marketplaces but banking services are the native use.

Consensus protocols are creating new economies with tokens and trading. Smart contracts are serving as a platform for collectibles and gambling.

These early use cases are driven by the core value of blockchain: providing exchange and liquidity infrastructure for financial transactions. Harmony focuses on broader financial products as they are well validated with Ethereum and ready for mass adoption.

Why Cross-Border? Open platforms work locally but global users are the most underserved.

Finance products within one country are already highly efficient and protected. On the other hand, purely on-chain #DeFi solutions without onramp gateways or local distribution have limited impact in real-word economies.

Harmony focuses on bridging high-growth economies in countries such as China and India, hence #CrossFi for cross-border finance. Harmony remains an infrastructure layer; our local partners serve customers with country-specific products and compliance.

Why Harmony? Not only fast and secure, Harmony is decentralized and guarantees privacy.

Ethereum’s short-term pains are , which Harmony has solved with sharding and proof-of-stake. The long-term value of open platforms is decentralization, which Harmony has committed to with thousands of nodes and .

, similar to secure HTTP for the Internet, are essential to businesses and corporations. However, governments mandate audits and compliance. Harmony solves this dilemma by bringing auditable privacy to production.

How? We are customer obsessed but must identify the right customers and external values.

The market into serving consumers or businesses: c2c (cash remittance), c2b (ecommerce billing), and b2b (marketplace payout).

Platform protocols seek rent but must inject capital from off the chain as revenue.

The values Harmony provides for customers, beyond open settlement, are forex quotes and peer-to-peer liquidity.

Stablecoins and forward contracts can manage fluctuations in fiat currencies; private matching can pool together local reserves like trades with over-the-counter (OTC).

A "Decentralized Autonomous Organization" is a mechanism for coordinating behavior and allocating resources. It has been called "an internet community with a shared piggybank" or "a bookclub with a bank account" but, regardless of the metaphor, DAOs represent a visionary approach to working that we believe will revolutionize the future of work.

As of August 1st, 2021, Harmony is working to "seed" and "kickstart" several DAOs in order to decentralize the management and effort in operating the Harmony Network. Through several experiments and trial runs, several key principles have risen to the surface as vital components of a truly decentralized DAO. Please note that, while these components are necessary for a DAO to receive a seed grant from the Harmony Foundation, they are not sufficient. Meaning: if you are forming a DAO that you would like to see supported by the Foundation - you MUST follow these principles. However, just because you follow these principles does not automatically mean that you will receive Foundation support.

Principle #1: The Mandate

The Harmony Foundation has found that a three-fold mandate is ideal for organizing a community. For example, the ONECommunityDAO has the mandate "Growth, Engagement, Diversity" and the ONEValidatorDAO has the mandate "Decentralization, Security, Participation".

Each mandate has two descriptors or "sub-mandates". To illustrate, the ONECommunityDAO has "Onboard users on mission & culture, Pollinate values across communities" as the descriptors to "Growth". As a result, we understand that the DAO will focus not simply on "growth" but on growing the community to share in the same mission and culture and to make sure that the values of the project are shared across the community.

Principle #2: Formation

Sifting order from chaos is the mark of a true alchemist. Any DAO that gets formed has a root in a handful of dedicated individuals coming together to work towards a common purpose. We have found that there exists a critical mass of participants that will help establish a DAO for the best chance in sustainability.

9 governors tends to be the magic number of core members, initial members. They can come together to determine a Mandate and set up the basic tools of their DAO.

It is usually the case that 1 governor becomes a lead governor that focuses on bringing together like-minded people to serve as signatories on a multi-sig wallet.

Principle #3: Transparency / Non-private Information

Discussions and debates about the priorities and choices facing a DAO should all be open to the public. Even though seeing "how the sausage is made" can be off-putting, it is vital that there is no layer of privileged or insider information. All information must needs be shared with all members of the DAO.

Principle #4: Elections & Rotations

At times it is difficult to break from our historic mental models. In the case of a DAO - a "governor" has no more authority than any other member of the DAO. He/She does, however, have the responsibility to be a signatory for the DAO's multi-sig wallet. That is it. Governors will get compensated for their efforts on behalf of the DAO, but then, so will everyone else. When a vote comes to a close, it will be the responsibility of the governor to ensure that any funds associated with a vote are distributed promptly and effectively.

As a result, the concept of "terms" or "term limits" don't have corollaries in a DAO. Elections do not serve to put anyone in as an "official manager" of a DAO - only to select the member of the DAO that will serve as the signatory for the multi-sig. As a result - DAO elections shall happen every 3 months.

Principle #5: Fluidity

DAO participants are fluid. Most are open to join and leave at any given time with the only thing binding the community together being a joint interest in the Mandate of the DAO. Additionally, there is no hierarchical authority in a DAO. Everything -- everything -- is established through voting and protocol. As a result, concepts such as "conflict of interest" or "self-dealing" have limited effect. If the community believes a member of the DAO (who also happens to be a governor) is best suited for a contract or paid engagement of some sort, that governor is not excluded simply because of their role as being a signatory. This is why there are 9 governors.

In the end, we envision members of our Harmony Community participating in as many or as few DAOs as they have interest in. Any engagement in one DAO does not preclude them from engagement in another. We encourage all to participate and all to engage in one way or another.
