Harmony is a sharded PoS smart contract platform. It also happens to be Robin's first blockchain employer so he knows a little bit about it. It's been growing an increasingly muscular TVL in DeFi thanks largely to DeFi Kingdoms, a gameified farming platform built around NFTs and the $JEWEL token. In this episode we take a closer look at the blockchain formerly known as BBQ Coin.
