== Pangaea (Harmony Nodes) ==
Harmony aims to build an open network of nodes operated and governed by a large community. This node community is called Pangaea.  At time of writing there are now 1,000 Harmony nodes,  800 of them run by the community.  Pangaea consists of volunteers and validators from more than 100 countries and most of them have never run a node before.

Harmony is a Proof-of-Stake blockchain. Validator wallets are funded with 10,001 ONE<ref>https://docs.harmony.one/home/network/validators/creating-a-validator</ref>. ONE token holders are also able to delegate their ONE tokens to existing validators to participate in the staking process. The more ONE token staked, the more secure the network becomes. Elected validators who successfully sign blocks will receive block rewards in ONE tokens as compensation for their services.
