**Cross-Chain with Trustless Bridges**

**Track 2 - Middlewares. Graph, Crazy.ONE names, privacy-mixer**

* * *

The first hackathon theme is _Cross-Chain_ with our trustless, on-chain bridges. The 4 tracks — Liquidity, Middlewares, DeFi/NFT/DAO, Platform — emphasize the current **product-market fits** of decentralized applications but across multiple chains. Developers can make use of Harmony’s rich ecosystem: a cross-chain API for aggregation and asset pools; Ethereum-compatible indexing, names, and toolkits; and, unique technical features including randomness opcode, on-chain delegation and aggregated signatures, FlyClient bridges, and fast state sync with message gossips.

Besides advancing these cross-chain infrastructure, there are also many product ideas that can take advantage of our trustless bridges. For example, building **arbitrage bots** with our partner Hummingbot or integrating stablecoins and saving products with our Terra bridge. Harmony has also launched Bulletproof and Poseidon Hash functions for privacy coin mixers like Tornado Cash. ([more](http://harmony.one/horizon))

To kick things off, I’ll be spotlighting **Track 2: Cross-Chain - “Middlewares”** - Indexing, Analytics and Namings!

Featured here today is **Analytics** - several examples below

1. **Harmony Analytics** built by @SmartStake (see [How to use Harmony Analytics dashboard?](https://talk.harmony.one/t/how-to-use-harmony-analytics-dashboard/911)) on Validator analytics
2. **Harmony Staking Analytics** - Helps one understand where validator seat allocations (see [Harmony – Open Consensus for 10B](https://staking.harmony.one/analytics/mainnet))
3. **Etherscan Charts** - Looks into Market, Blockchain and Network data, in a time-series manner (see [Ethereum Charts and Statistics | Etherscan](https://etherscan.io/charts))
4. **Cosmos Outpost** - dives into chain level activity, around delegations, reward withdrawals, transactions success/failures, and node uptimes (see [https://www.cosmosoutpost.io/](https://www.cosmosoutpost.io/))
5. **Terra Station Dashboard** - Looks at transaction volumes per token (imagine ERC-20/HRC-20 tokens), staking returns, and total accounts/wallets (see [https://station.terra.money/](https://station.terra.money/))
6. a visualization of validators across the globe (see [Cosmos Atlas](https://atlas.cosmos.network/nodes)) or a 3D visualizer (see [https://twitter.com/zcpeng/status/1297225411596824577](https://twitter.com/zcpeng/status/1297225411596824577))

How do these inspire you to build out an in depth chain analytics? **Reply to this thread**.
