Nick White is the co-founder of Harmony, A public chain project (using sharding different than Zilliqa's), made up of Harvard and Stanford graduates with an ex-engineering team from places like Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon in San Francisco. Harmony is a public blockchain protocol with key innovations in state sharding (secure staking & re-sharding with decentralized randomness) and in peer-to-peer networking (optimal cross-shard routing, fast block propagation)
