My name is Dan and I love working with and talking about technology. You’ll find me active on Twitter, Reddit, Medium and Telegram spreading Harmony related news and helping people out. Got involved in Harmony around March 2021. Originally got interested in crypto through trading, but then got hooked on the technology and the potential for great social-economic change. I read the Harmony whitepaper and decided I liked what they where trying to achieve, so joined the community and haven’t looked back. There is huge potential to improve the lives of millions of people with DeFi applications built on blockchain technology.. but to get there we need to make it easier for people to join in. My focus outside of running DK Validator is looking at ways to simplify access and lower barriers to entry. ## Contact Us [WWW](https://dkvalidator.one) [Email](mailto:info@dkvalidator.one) [Twitter](https://twitter.com/dkvalidator) [Telegram](https://t.me/DKValidatorChat) [Discord](https://discord.gg/wZRC2TZXd2) > ## Validator Pledge > > Harmony’s Effective Proof-of-Stake Validators are the backbones of the Harmony infrastructure.
