Alongside other wallets, the users of the most popular EVM noncustodial wallet MetaMask can enjoy the advanced functionality of the blockchain.

Shards can be better understood as interconnected sub-blockchains. Sharding is the most sophisticated methodology of scaling. Besides Harmony (ONE), this instrument is used in NEAR Protocol's (NEAR) design.

ONE token reacts to major announcements

Eventually, the proof-of-stake version of Ethereum (previously called Ethereum 2.0) will also migrate toward a sharded design, per its most recent roadmaps.

Holders of ONE, the core native cryptocurrency of Harmony (ONE) blockchain, demostrate optimism. Since the first announcement about the activation of this hard fork, the token's price added 25% in less than one day.

In the last 24 hours, ONE trading volume spiked by 20%. As of printing time, the asset is changing hands at $0.02643 on major spot cryptocurrency exchanges.
