Harmony All Hands Meeting, April 4th, 2022

A

uh So uh happy april uh we have wrapped up the march deliverables. Thank you all for uh keeping that page up to date. Updating your progress. uh I know we're all learning and it's going to get better every month, but the deliverables are important and I think the community has reacted positively to this monthly list that we go through um every week. It's a much more kind of granular and um I guess useful way to look at what we're all working on versus those kind of high level product launches.

A

So we'll we'll continue doing this, um but yeah. It's important that we keep that list up to date and we can go through them on these calls. So let me share my screen.

A

Okay, so last week in the office.

A

A lot of the folks in the bay area went through their deliverables, so I wanted to spend, I guess, the first half going through deliverables for people who weren't in the office some of our remote friends and then, if there's time we can cover some of the locals as well.

A

Okay. So let's kick it off with yuri.

A

Is yuri here.

B

There he is hi hi guys. Do you hear me? Okay with my yeah.

A

We can hear you.

B

Okay, okay, uh so my april deliverables is uh horizon, bridge security, improvements and improvements, monitoring system, it's several items. We have discussed this with ganesha a little bit later. I will add the special notion page with all items at home. It will be a but mentoring on balances, uh remove, uh uh extend the validator's amount. uh Minimum validates amount to assign operations.

B

uh We will increase it to uh five yeah, so uh this system should be mostly more more secure, yeah uh and uh so for this system uh will be important that all validators working stable. So we will need better monitoring and monitoring all balances for each validator monitoring, good rpc connection atc. So all this I will do this week and next week, so I think it will be my main goal for next two weeks half of april uh also, I will work on btc bridge, dark term, together with sergey and validators.

B

Now he proposals this goal we have discussed with leo- and this is from uh it is uh tasks from our community. So part of this is already done and part will be done in this bunch yeah. It's improvements for staking dashboard.

A

Got it uh yeah yuri, let's just use, we need to be very specific about what it is. um What the deliverable is right, so improvements is too difficult to to measure uh whether it's like number of improvements and and it should be linked right, like everything here. Every item should be linked to a public page. Where we can look. You know, learn more about the context.

B

Okay, okay sure uh yeah. I will discuss this one more time with ganesha and we'll add the notion page and improve my text right with current metrics.

A

Thanks yuri all right, peter you're, up.

C

All right, so three things I'm focused on for this month, is uh to close three of the deals currently in the pipeline design, unique offering for two key verticals and then execute engagement with rg and contract with pq and and those are not public.

C

A

C

So my overall goal this year is to help grow harmony, 10x, and so this is kind of in uh in a route to hopefully doing that.

A

Nice, thank you. Peter uh jenya,.

D

All right, uh I will continue work on trustless bridge, so basically two components, uh ui and uh client, slash, relayer and also some work on explorer, because we have many demands and many things in backlog.

A

That's it: okay, good! uh It's same with this jenny, just let's make sure that we have very specific deliverables here. Yeah.

D

A

Yeah more specific, I will extend standard okay, great okay, let's see, uh soph is not here. Dan wolf.

E

Hi, can you hear me yes, yeah. I just connected um um working closely with the adeos, so I'll be working much more closely with daniel sean and others. Regarding the ambassador doing all I can to help them fulfill all of their goals throughout april.

E

um With regards to april amas, we just kicked off a new series of amas back to the projects um that will see us host more of those throughout the month of april revisiting some of the older projects that are already on harmony and seeing what they've been up to in the time since they launched and anything new that they've got to offer. We just recently did that with sonic swap and then the weekly dayo, governor, amas or q.

E

A sessions is something that's to work in progress at the minute, but we'll hopefully aim to host a governor from adeo each week and give let them give updates and details on their progress and current aims and plans to the community.

E

A

Thank you dan. uh Let's see adrian, you went in the office last week, so let's hear your updates.

F

um I am going to so. This is directly involving content, because I do a lot of filming of our live events.

F

I'm going to attempt to create essentially an an apple style, keynote um polished from front to back, and that way we can and it will be modular, so we can essentially use it for anybody plugging in whatever we need to plug in so hopefully we can make that happen, uh also going to be filming the actual production of a series of one wallet, videos and lastly, paris- is not until q3, but all of the work for paris is in q2, so I'm going to be involved with paris and I'm also going to be doing some.

F

Ghana work as well, so.

A

Okay, yeah again with this, uh it's too vague right, like let's, let's be specific about what the deliverables are deliverables for uh for april, but we can. We can chat about this uh later adrian yeah.

A

Okay, thank you uh is abby on the call.

G

Yeah, I'm here.

A

Hey I'll be.

H

Hey everybody, um so my my focus for this month is, I think, the highlight for for the europe team is definitely going to be the two events uh eat, amsterdam, being the big one and then there's also one preceding it, which is paris blockchain week. um Paris blockchain week is more business style conference sort of an event.

H

uh I would assume also since I worked with past option week before, I would assume that there's going to be lesser number of developers and projects compared to um etham stem and also looking at their looking at the ticket prices and the sponsorship packages. I imagine that it's more business style, uh but we will still we are still going there. I think we're a team of three so far uh at paris blockchain week, um uh but the main focus would be amsterdam, so we are organizing. So far we have about four to five side.

H

Events already.

H

In place- and I we we, we will try to get more or we will try to organize more. That makes sense. um We also have about 10 to 12 members from bluedog joining us. We've been in touch with amy, and we've also got about 10 zku scholars joining us at amsterdam. So that's going to be so we're a team of 27 to be precise for each amsterdam and that's going to be our focus for me personally. I aim to be engaging with at least 10 grantees and, of course, as a team.

H

It has to be much higher um and also, I think, for this quarter, one wallet being our mvp or or the flagship product.

H

We will try to write the wave of some of the bigger campaigns that you guys have planned on the america side uh and if, if the timing is perfect, then we'll try to write that wave in pbws, which is blockchain week and eat amsterdam.

H

So those two are on the events side, apart from the daily deliverables like content, social media and newsletter, which in fact for this month for for march, is going out today since everybody's gonna pass. So that's uh that should be out today the newsletter and the thread.

H

And finally, I think the last one would be about just try to re reinvent the content wheel, uh especially in terms of repurposed content. Sometimes I I I feel like I don't want to be too repetitive with repurposing content, especially for my off hours. So what I? What I did, which- which I think was a good success- was try to visualize data uh those data, visualization, graphics, infographics from I think the last one we did was in ecosystem growth, and I think we can do much more uh yeah I'll.

H

I'm working on that and I think we'll. I'm also I'm sure that there are many on the team who can contribute in terms of uh ideas for this uh data visualization. But that's going to be my three focuses for three focus areas for this month uh and I imagine the european is going to be busy this month, also with uh with paris blockchain week with etham to them, and also uh the preparations for ecc all.

A

Right thanks, abby yep, danny.

I

So yeah we're gonna film. The one wallet, video coming up me and adrian will get together this week to decide what days we're gonna film that in the next coming weeks and we're also going to ghana at the end of the month, so gotta figure out where how we can find the story- and you know, deliver the right content while we're in ghana. So you gotta create a treatment for a video and eat mexico city.

I

You know I'm taking more of an interest in latin american events, so I'm already in contact with a few people and and uh who live in mexico city. So that's coming up in q3, but got to do the planning so.

A

Okay uh with all of these, please make sure that you guys link each item to a public page uh hakwan. Are you on the call? I don't think so. It's probably asleep in japan.

A

uh Next up, we have essa.

J

Hello, okay, um so my first one is going to be publish grants playbook. um I spoke with jack I'll, be working with him and uh tron on that, and I think that'll give me a lot more experience with um with understanding what grants are too. So I'm pretty excited about that and then identify five candidates for events lead um we're kind of we're. Looking for somebody who is going to be taking our vision of the events team and executing um an experience for our community to walk away with on our events.

J

So right now I have three potentially four people um that I've been spoken to about. I have one call this afternoon to talk to somebody about that as well.

J

um I think we need to clearly set adrian- and I were speaking this morning about clearly studying those mandates um and so we're looking forward to that um and then creating book structure, bookkeeping structures for events that our first chapter, that should be done by the end of this week by friday um and we'll test it out with other events and see what we need to do to change that.

J

A

All right, thank you uh max. Are you on the call.

A

I thought I saw max no.

K

A

There you are yeah.

K

K

Max can you.

L

L

We can come back to next.

A

Yeah we'll come back.

M

uh Right now we have some problems with block in session and my primary goal is to optimize it. uh We assume that we can insert more than one block at once and it will help us.

M

The second is to expose updates uh just some improvements to it and third is uh living signals.

M

uh We have problems sometimes in them we can lose them, so I have to resend them and I'll guess it will fix it. So that's all.

A

Okay, thank you. Brian.

N

Yes, um this is uh this is uh going to be mapped out today uh between between give and I and possibly stephen, but essentially we need to um with the blue metaverse, there's a bunch of metaverses in our ecosystem at present, uh and we need to sort of see where, where we are with them, where they are in terms of uh either being on test net or mainnet and how to have assets be able to translate from one to the other and how the links between them are going to link to our portal.

N

So we need to uh to figure out all of that as well, as you know, to try and usher through um ones that projects that are on test net currently are projects that have got grants or applied of grants to help get them ushered out and to get them released.

N

A

Thank you max. Are you back.

O

Hey gabe, it's max, can you hear me.

A

O

The first task is the time-based transaction ordering. This should hopefully help reduce some network spam from arbitrage bots. The second two tasks uh are fairly small. One of them is the gas price rpc estimate, instead of something like 30, we've been giving out fairly large numbers.

O

uh The second part of this one is for validators, where validators or explorer nodes, who who are complaining from the cloud providers, that harmony is doing a lot of private network scanning, so we'll turn that off, hopefully with the flag and the last one, is a node out of sync issue, where we noticed last week that non-shard zero nodes had fallen out of sync with charge zero and since they were lagging the we lost consensus in chart one chart, and this I guess this is the bigger task for me for the months to figure out why this is happening.

A

Okay. Thank you.

A

Okay. Moving on to the fellows z with tom tom was in the.

L

Office last week- oh sorry, sorry yeah! Oh, I think his uh his has changed a bit. That's why? Oh.

A

Okay, we can come back to uh yeah. I want to.

P

Make sure we cover everyone else, all right I'll, be very brief. uh So coachella is happening in about two weeks, so I think they're, all together, probably about 15 of us, will be at the coachella music house and then go there is really more about. I think the plan has changed a little bit. So the core idea there is really to bring additional brand awareness for both harmony and one wallet.

P

uh Social nft is linked. It's a pretty exciting project, it's a a whole set of nft, that's generated by against network using on-chain data, and then you guys can click through it. There are some visual on kind of a cues in terms of the direction we're going. So the idea is really to announce this at coachella and kind of really make it public to the general harmony community. So that's the second initiative, um the third, which is probably close and geared to your heart, give open sourcing one wallet uh uh april.

P

24Th is a date, so I think we're on track to get there. So that's one while open sourcing awesome thanks.

A

E yep, uh okay aaron's, not around uh victor.

K

Oh hey guys, um so I've got three tasks this um this uh in april. First one is uh getting the kinosis multisig to staging the um staging, so that involves uh forking the multiseek in gnosis and trying to push that inside harmony, so just bringing on the new features of gnosis, that's missing in our current multisig.

K

The second one is to complete the af scan api docs for explorer. So our goal is to get our explorer to to have exposed efficient api functionality, so others can use it quite easily interchangeably with code that uses ether scan and then finally, the last one is to close off some high impact. Explorer issues so target last month was 8, so I'm just moving that to ten. That's what I'm doing this this segment awesome.

A

Thanks victor uh sergey sergey here doesn't look like.

B

It all threes are unavailable. Okay, so yeah, I can uh add some comments.

B

So sergey will work on uh completing horizon bridge ui, dark time from last month's goal, also integrate dark, uitm to btc bridge and launch btc bridge mobile version. So all uh all these goals is from 10 tasks, right content, improvements for our projects, bridges.

A

Okay, uh I don't think he's here. uh Definitely.

G

A

G

Talk about page uh as.

A

G

Developer so for this one, these main tasks are on the british bridge.

G

uh Some of the key features uh being like a world foundation for under collateralization and uh also uh walls have asked for the second picture of retiring going on on and off uh from the bridge uh that second feature and the finally uh to improve the collateralization.

G

uh We plan to support the staking and delegation so he's working on the implementing this feature in the smart contracts. So these three things are mainly focused for him. This month,.

A

Right thanks, ganesha uh devin.

Q

Oh yes, so, starting with dow tools, uh the dow ops team absolutely crushed it last month, so we've doubled from five to ten dow tools that we're looking to bring on chain uh this month.

R

We did crush it. Thank you, devin, sorry to interrupt, but you're right. We we crushed it.

Q

It's awesome so yeah we're uh we're gonna push ourselves even harder this month um and we've already got a really good lead. So then, the next thing that I'm trying to do uh is on board 25 harmony. Team members to opolis opolis is a dow tool as well, and I'm not saying here that there's any official partnership or on-chain collaboration with opolis.

Q

At this moment, it's just my goal: to bring them unchained harmony and have 25 at least 25 team members uh utilizing it um and for those of you who are unfamiliar with opolis, it is uh the ability to. Essentially ha you are your own employer in the sense that you can provide health insurance to yourself through opolis uh proof of employment.

Q

uh You know you give yourself a w-2, so you can buy a house and this and that- and you can pay yourself in pretty much any currency that you choose, which is all pain points currently for 1099 contracts and self-employed workers, so lowers that barrier and then the last one would be uh publisher rasky for the one doubt conference.

Q

uh So this is something adrian and I are primarily focused on um and this uh rasky will be the responsibility matrix uh for what this conference's flagship dow conference will look like, um so we're really excited to get through all these.

A

Awesome thanks: devin uh xiaopang uh is not here, leo's, not here either right he's off this week. Yeah uh nick is not on the call. Let's move on to uh some of our part-timers rachel.

S

Hi everybody, okay yeah, so my first deliverable um I'm working with devin to onboard 10 new dow tools um just to piggyback on what devin said. uh We're really excited about opolis. That way we can implement benefits for web3 workers, which is so essential in the space.

S

We are in conversation, and we have calls uh this week to onboard four new dow tools, uh so we are in good shape. I I feel to hit 10 new down tools this month um and my second deliverable is to scale for ambassador dell um to 30 meetups this month.

S

That was in our initial proposal, um which I feel is it's pretty ambitious uh being that we are down one signatory, um but me and miguel are going to challenge ourselves and we're going to try for 30, because that was in our initial proposal and hopefully we can get um another signatory onboarded and, lastly, I'm assisting the dow operations team and getting fifty dollars using one reputation.

S

um I have to set up a call with colin, but to my understanding, one rep is about 75 completed, uh so we should be able to implement that this month.

A

Awesome thanks rachel uh ed's, not on the call rosa and you haven't updated this yet, but you wanna just walk us through your three items.

T

Yes, so three items it's going to be like pr. As you know, the thing is, I cannot edit it, but I will I I don't have like the permissions with my personality, uh the other we already have over there on boarded jorge we plan and it's on his own page, to do uh weekly twitter spaces in spanish, plus, uh like a scheduled calendar once a month community in mexico, gathering it's going to be our tgis for mexico and also content based on artists and nfcs, which is his previous expertise.

T

I would like to introduce him maybe next week formally and the other person I want to introduce is jose cotto, which I think you already know him he's doing spanish content and vr in spain. We're also traveling to ladam and he's uh joining us today in the call so, and we.

A

T

Him on the on on the contributors page so.

A

That's all from my.

T

A

Hey good to have you here, josiah! Thank you, okay! Thank you! Rosa okay, going back up now, tom.

U

Yes, yes, yeah, I got a messenger uh from stephen uh yesterday. He said that we uh should planning a two event like the leadership event and also the china u.s crypto event, so that they want to combine like the april and may together and oh, it's already updated. Yes, oh yes, some yeah, some already updated. Yes,.

U

Okay and and the rest and the rest is uh to uh schedule a performance, coaching and leadership session.

U

Yeah, so performance uh coach is a. It is a job that to help the employees to get the best and improve the performance, so I will prepare for the slides and give a presentation on that.

A

Okay, great yes,.

U

Another is for the 10 area, business, business, business leaders, that's including the partnership and also the investors. We engage them through the tgis and some other private events got it.

A

Okay, thank you tom. Let's do a couple more and and then we can move on to other other items. um Rj.

V

Okay, so for my deliverable for april, first of all, I'm gonna revamp the protocol roadmap.

V

I mean going on forward not just for this year, but maybe even next year. I basically lay out all the missing components that we're going to do for the protocol kind of features and improvement and also issue fixes so by including, like crosshard messaging system, like also like the incentive for the leader and validators updated incentive for leader validators. All of these details and also we're gonna, look up like all the other kind of a major blockchains kind of kind of um features to see whether there's like new, um like direction that we can follow.

V

Things like whether we can make our shards, like a data availability layer for to support all the other layer, two solutions. So that's for the protocol roadmap, the other one, is continue. The signature collection launch, so the codes still need more audit and is the core consensus feature change, so that need very careful code review and uh also we need careful testing on that so that within april the goal is to launch it on minute.

V

But the question messaging uh is continue. Working with the mutual knowledge system to start the implementation phase and um the implementation may take up to two months, and also we want to leave like more time, maybe an additional two months for testing and the iteration and fixes so within april. The goal is to finish about half of the implementation, which is mainly on the changes within evm for the pressure messaging system. Yeah.

A

Okay, thank you. Rj uh ganesha,.

G

The major time I'll be spending on preparing the ethereum bridge uh launch.

G

uh There are several items uh I created the details inside the page um and the second one is uh bitcoin bridge uh features like I mentioned, uh working with the page uh solidity developer on things like world liquidation for under collateralization retired feature and also staking for the bitcoin bridge and the best security implements uh again. Details are inside the page, mainly increasing the virtual current bridge violators number ensuring their security protocol is followed and also some of the better monitoring uh working with jiri.

G

Those are the three items.

G

A

um So we can probably uh stop there um for folks watching you can read through this on harmony dot, one slash april, um there'll be one for every month. You can look at last month's uh updates on slash march, uh so so do go in and for everyone else here please go through and link to appropriate public pages update your percentages, um work with your managers to kind of tweak and refine some of these deliverables.

F

Thanks um what an honor um to be um thought so highly by your peers, um so yeah! Thank you to everyone, but, honestly, um all this, you know whatever praise or whatever cannot happen unless we thank everyone else who actually helped along the way.

F

All of the people who um you know who you are in denver, who really helped make that thing happen um it really. It wasn't one person, it was a team effort and moving forward. I think we have a lot of work to do to to try and replicate that again, if not beat it, I think we should always be striving to do better than we did last time.
