On Friday, blockchain platform Harmony — whose mainnet runs on the network, claiming to have two-second transaction finality and fees 1,000 times lower than Ethereum — announced the launch of its Bored Ape Yacht Club Passport. Users can import evidence of their apes to DeFi Kingdoms using the Passport. This is a free play-to earn game built on Harmony Blockchain with more than 120,000 active monthly users. Ape owners will have the ability to verify and show their assets across multiple blockchains during its initial phases. They can connect their MetaMask wallet with DeFi Kingdoms to enable this to happen.

Due to the infancy and vulnerability of cross-chain tech, funds could be at stake when bridges across chains are made. The biggest and most decentralized financial hack to dateThis year, it was a record. However, as stated by its developers, Harmony’s Passport does not move assets; instead, it proves asset ownership across multiple blockchains, guaranteeing their authenticity throughout. Horizon is a cross-chain bridge that allows interoperability among Harmony, Ethereum and BNB Chain.
