|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 50 | 50 | 0 | 0 | 0 | As a platform, our direct users are developers. And our indirect users are the people who uses the Dapps on Harmony and hold token holders (investors). | 🛡Rongjian | |
10 | 40 | 40 | 10 | 0 | 0 | We are not short of developers in general, but we need serious investors to incubate serious projects. traders provide liquidity; investors provides TVL. | 🏃Leo | |
0 | 0 | 30 | 70 | 0 | 0 | Developers and creators make things for gen z, investors, traders to consume. And we are not really ready as this team to do anything meaningful for the unbanked, just my opinion. That can also be achieved by backing entrepreneurs in local geographies.
Reading my vote is essentially saying we should become a Web3 incubator of developers and creatives. Is this what I really want? Still thinking about it. | 🎽Li | |
0 | 50 | 50 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Investors and developers must be our goal to increase the adoption and sustain it. Creators, genz, unbanked are all over-rated. | 🏏Ganesha | |

10 | 20 | 50 | 20 | 0 | 0 | Harmony is a platform funded by those who trade and invest in the products on our platform. With that as a thesis - I think we should focus on recruiting more developers and those that create (code without culture is soulless and will fade). But to FUND that building and that soul - we will need to keep the traders and investors engaged. | 🌲Sam | |
10 | 15 | 50 | 5 | 10 | 10 | As we improve our infrastructure with cross-sharding, 1s finality, that sets us apart from other chains, we must put more energy into appealing to the developer community. The old cliché “build it and they will come” rings very true in this context. | ☁️Giv | |

10 | 10 | 50 | 0 | 0 | 30 | We need to make sure that things keep being built, for that we need people who build, people that fund the builders, and (a lot of) users for what is being built. | 🚗Boris | |
0 | 20 | 20 | 20 | 20 | 20 | There are a few sides to this. The producers (creators, developers), the facilitators (traders, investor) and the consumers (Gen Z, unbanked). It’s a market, and without one or the other, there’s no point to this. Harmony is about equity to all, hence the unbanked deserves a bit more attention. Traders will “figure it out”, as long as we lower the friction, show them a winning strategy, they’ll build their own paths | 🐉Jack | |
0 | 0 | 40 | 40 | 10 | 10 | Developers and creators create the demand for investors and traders to pile on in. Gen Z and the unbanked are two of our biggest adoption stories, we should focus on both equally. | 🎥Adrian | |
20 | 0 | 50 | 20 | 0 | 10 | We should invest in attracting more developers; they will build the apps used by GenZ so I vote no focus or resources should to GenZ specifically. | 🔭Daniel | |
0 | 10 | 30 | 30 | 15 | 10 | I like the idea of addressing GenZ and 1B unbanked in order to reach mainstream adoption, and also as a brand identity. However we must focus on having great products, dapps, and creators in our ecosystem to incentivize users to be involved within our community. | 🎬Danny | |
0 | 50 | 50 | 0 | 0 | 0 | when we have good projects built by solid devs, supported by good investor / incubators, the rest will come for free | ⛵Hakwan | |
0 | 10 | 50 | 40 | 0 | 0 | serving developers and creators will impact gen z and traders | 🎤Matt | |
0 | 20 | 50 | 20 | 5 | 5 | I agree with Brian in that we should be on easy onramp which would drive GenZ and the unbanked. Right now, I think our priorities should focus on developers, with an emphasis on investors and creators, to establish a foundation forward. | 💃🏻Essa | |
10 | 20 | 30 | 25 | 5 | 10 | I think we should be an easy onramp which would drive GenZ and GenX into simple products that could, but don’t have to be, the best under the hood in the world. | 🦒Brian | |
0 | 10 | 70 | 10 | 10 | 0 | Harmony is an blockchain. Developers are our direct users. other “users” are indirect users of Dapp. These users come to harmony because of Dapp, not harmony. | 🐯Tom | |
5 | 15 | 40 | 25 | 10 | 5 | Our majority focus should be on onboarding developers and creators | ⚽Abhishek | |
15 | 10 | 35 | 20 | 15 | 5 | I don’t think the unbanked are a good demographic to target just yet, but I do see the advantage of the market size. | 🛰️Max | |

0 | 0 | 30 | 70 | 0 | 0 | NFT hype is going to bring in more creators in web3. Creators will bring their audiences. Tools for developers are critical. | ⚛Jackie | |
0 | 20 | 50 | 20 | 5 | 5 | For now, developers should be the focus (for obvious reasons). Creators and investors are crucial areas to increase commitment towards as well. The unbanked and gen z can come when are infrastructure is ready, but should still be prepped for. | 📖Devin | |
15 | 20 | 50 | 5 | 5 | 5 | Our primary focus currently should be development to improve on-chain infrastructure. Technology is the core of what makes us a great chain, and will benefit the other areas if more focus is invested in this area. Investors & traders will be more attracted to our chain and feel confident & “secure” in using our platform. Identifying and rectifying security issues & protecting our users from hacks, and improving our RPC issues will show users that we care and are creating a solid foundation for a platform that eventually can scale globally to 10 billion people (including the unbanked*). | 🐇Rachel | |
0 | 20 | 45 | 30 | 5 | 0 | I’m assuming “investors” alludes to those that buy ONE and hold/stake. In which case I will always see an incredible amount of value in that. Staking with protocol validators is a big win. Developers and Creators is a no brainer. Devs and Creators also attract classes like GenZ and unbanked. For now, consider it 2 birds ONE stone. These resource allocation numbers will change as the protocol (and global community) matures. | 🐐Mikey | |
0 | 0 | 100 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Build it, they will come. I think sound, battle-tested products will attract users in all areas. As we can see from the frenzy of community engagement, our users are the best marketers - for better or for worse. | 🚜Demetre | |
15 | 10 | 35 | 15 | 20 | 5 | As a layer 1 infrastructure, developers are primary. | 💿Kelly | |
0 | 0 | 50 | 20 | 30 | 0 | Harmony is first and foremost a blockchain before anything else. It is critical to have strong development to improve on-chain infrastructure. If the fundamentals are not working well or are constantly problematic, it does not matter how many great creators we have or users we have on-boarded, they will look for solution elsewhere once they get the hang of Web 3.
Next comes Gen Z users - who are the fastest at adopting blockchain. They bring the users - but Harmony needs to invest on mass training and education. And lastly, (not far off), focus on influential creators. Key is ‘”influential”. We need creators who are already established and have their community. So, by on-boarding selected few key influencers/ creators, you will bring along their crowd as well. | 🌟Novell | |

0 | 0 | 80 | 20 | 0 | 0 | Speaking to what I’m most familiar with here: There are currently insufficient applications to give new users a real reason to onboard onto harmony, and maintain regular activity. I’m prioritizing developers first, and creators second because we need to encourage more meaningful use cases; build meaningful apps, build tools for creators to prosper, and the 100m gen-z will follow.
I think Defi is a significant use case, but I’m not sure how Harmony is poised to compete with other chains that have made it their bread and butter. | 🤖Eric | |
10 | 10 | 30 | 10 | 35 | 5 | My guess, we can’t make the only focus on separate group of users, like devs or creators even for a short term like a quarter of a year. diversity of all types should surround our chain and ecosystem. aiming to gen z (for me as a representative of that group) covers the idea of users flow and their customers success/journey within the harmony ecosystem. | ♒Nick | |
5 | 5 | 40 | 40 | 5 | 5 | At this current stage our focus should be on enabling developers and creators to build on our platform. This doesn’t mean we should neglect the traders and investors nor the Gen Z and unbanked; however to bring real, tangible value we must first support the devs and creators. Ask these questions in another 3 months and depending on how far along in our roadmap/vision, our focus should shift to GenZ and unbanked. | 🧑🍳 Victa | |

0 | 0 | 50 | 30 | 10 | 10 | Personally I feel like the space is ripe for the switch from tech & infrastructure into concrete end user applications (particularly given the somewhat stellar conjunction of opposing forces, ie. all-time mainstream buzz/noise and winter markets) — and to me the only ones who can truly be the catalysts for change & adoption are 1) developers and 2) creators, so I’d really double down on them (VS spreading efforts and resources too thin). Whichever chain(s) will be able to fuel the most compelling consumer applications the fastest — be it through a solo-player concrete utility case (moving beyond pure financial speculation/investment) OR a thriving community (fanbase, followers, mission-led micro-investors and ambassadors) that finally shows how Web3 can altogether empower them in a whole new way — will have the upper hand.
Users go where real, self-evident utility is. And investors and traders will follow where users go.
The reason I kept the 10-10 on GenZ and Underbanked is simply bc I believe there’s value in “optimizing” a protocol for specific audiences and use cases - be it at a brand level or at an infrastructural level - both to stand out in an OCEAN of protocols as well as to enable what feels different/unique from a development standpoint. | ||
