30 Common Questions
What is Harmonix Finance? +
Harmonix Finance is an all-in-one DeFi protocol built on the Solana blockchain. It combines token swapping, liquid SOL staking, cross-chain bridging, concentrated liquidity pools, and borrow/lend functionality into a single seamless platform — with HMX swap rewards and an upcoming airdrop.
How do Swap Rewards work? +
Every token swap on Harmonix Finance automatically earns you HMX reward tokens proportional to your trading volume. Rewards are calculated in real-time and credited to your wallet. No sign-up or manual claiming required during the rewards period — just connect your wallet and swap.
When is the HMX Airdrop? +
The HMX token airdrop snapshot date will be announced soon. Every action you perform on Harmonix Finance — swapping, staking, providing liquidity, or borrowing — earns Harmonix Points that directly determine your airdrop allocation. Start earning points now before the snapshot occurs.
How do I maximize my airdrop allocation? +
Maximize your HMX airdrop by: (1) Swapping frequently — high volume earns more points. (2) Staking SOL for a 1.5× point multiplier. (3) Providing liquidity for a 2× multiplier. (4) Using borrow/lend for bonus allocation. (5) Referring friends for 10% of their points. The top 100 traders by volume receive an additional 3× multiplier.
What is hSOL? +
hSOL is Harmonix Finance's liquid staking token. When you stake SOL on Harmonix, you receive hSOL in return — a yield-bearing token that automatically accrues staking rewards. hSOL can be used as collateral in our lending protocol, added to liquidity pools, or bridged to other chains — all while continuing to earn staking yield.
What is the current SOL staking APR? +
The current base SOL staking APR on Harmonix Finance is up to 18.5%. This includes the base Solana network staking reward plus additional HMX boost rewards (+3.2% extra APR for HMX stakers). APRs fluctuate based on network conditions and protocol incentives.
How fast are swaps on Harmonix Finance? +
Swaps on Harmonix Finance settle in an average of 0.4 seconds, leveraging Solana's high-throughput blockchain. This makes Harmonix one of the fastest DEXes in the entire crypto ecosystem — significantly faster than Ethereum-based alternatives.
What swap fees does Harmonix charge? +
Harmonix Finance charges a 0.1% fee on token swaps. A portion (0.07%) goes to liquidity providers, and the remainder (0.03%) goes to the protocol treasury, which is governed by HMX token holders. This is among the lowest swap fees in Solana DeFi.
Which chains does the Harmonix bridge support? +
Harmonix Finance currently supports bridging between: Solana, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Avalanche, Fantom, and Sui. The bridge is powered by Wormhole and LayerZero protocols for maximum security and reliability. More chains are added through governance votes.
What are the bridge fees? +
Harmonix Finance charges a 0.05% flat fee on all cross-chain bridge transfers — the lowest in the Solana ecosystem. Solana's near-zero gas fees mean the total cost of bridging via Harmonix is a fraction of what you'd pay on Ethereum-based bridges.
How long does a bridge transfer take? +
Bridge transfer times vary by destination chain. Transfers to other Solana-based chains typically complete in 3-8 seconds. Transfers to Ethereum-based chains (ETH, Arbitrum, Polygon, etc.) take 3-15 minutes depending on gas conditions. All transfers include real-time tracking.
What is the maximum LTV for borrowing? +
Harmonix Finance offers up to 75% Loan-to-Value ratio for SOL and hSOL collateral, and 85% LTV for stablecoin collateral. The protocol uses on-chain price oracles and automatic liquidation mechanisms to maintain protocol solvency and protect lenders.
What assets can I borrow on Harmonix? +
You can borrow USDC, USDT, SOL, ETH (bridged), and several other supported tokens. Deposit SOL, hSOL, stablecoins, or selected Solana tokens as collateral to unlock borrowing. The minimum borrow APR starts at 3.8%, with rates determined by supply and demand dynamics.
Is Harmonix Finance non-custodial? +
Yes, Harmonix Finance is fully non-custodial. You always maintain full control of your private keys and assets. All transactions are executed via smart contracts on Solana — Harmonix never has access to your funds. You can withdraw at any time without permission.
Has Harmonix Finance been audited? +
Yes, Harmonix Finance smart contracts have been audited by leading blockchain security firms including OtterSec, Sec3, and Neodyme — the top Solana-specialized auditors. All audit reports are publicly available on our documentation portal. We also run a continuous bug bounty program.
Which wallets are compatible with Harmonix Finance? +
Harmonix Finance supports all major Solana wallets: Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, Glow, Brave Wallet, and Ledger hardware wallets. We also support WalletConnect for mobile wallets and Coinbase Wallet for users coming from EVM chains.
What is the HMX token? +
HMX is the native governance and reward token of Harmonix Finance. It is earned through protocol participation (swapping, staking, providing liquidity) and distributed via the airdrop. HMX holders can vote on protocol parameters, fee structures, new chain integrations, and treasury allocations through on-chain governance.
How do concentrated liquidity pools work on Harmonix? +
Harmonix uses a Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker (CLMM) model, similar to Uniswap v3. Liquidity providers deposit tokens within a custom price range, earning higher fees when the market trades within their range. This dramatically increases capital efficiency compared to traditional AMMs — the same capital generates up to 100× more fees.
What tokens can I swap on Harmonix Finance? +
Harmonix Finance supports 200+ Solana SPL tokens including SOL, USDC, USDT, mSOL, JitoSOL, RAY, ORCA, BONK, WIF, JUP, PYTH, and all major Solana ecosystem tokens. New tokens are listed based on liquidity and governance proposals. We aggregate liquidity from multiple sources for best execution.
Is there a referral program? +
Yes! Harmonix Finance has an active referral program. Share your unique referral link and earn 10% of all Harmonix Points your referees accumulate. Referral points count toward both your and your referee's airdrop allocation. There is no limit on the number of referrals.
Can I use Harmonix Finance on mobile? +
Yes, Harmonix Finance is fully mobile-compatible. You can access it via the built-in dApp browser in Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack mobile wallets. The interface is fully responsive and optimized for mobile trading, staking, and liquidity management.
How does Harmonix Finance handle slippage? +
Harmonix Finance uses smart slippage protection to ensure you never pay more than your set tolerance (default 0.5%, adjustable up to 5%). For large trades, the protocol automatically splits orders across multiple liquidity sources to minimize price impact and optimize execution quality.
What happens if I get liquidated in the borrow module? +
If your collateral value drops below the liquidation threshold (typically 85% LTV), Harmonix's automated liquidation bots will partially close your position to restore health. A 5% liquidation penalty applies — 4% goes to the liquidator as incentive, and 1% goes to the protocol insurance fund.
Does Harmonix Finance have a DAO? +
Yes, Harmonix Finance is governed by a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization). HMX token holders submit and vote on Harmonix Improvement Proposals (HIPs) covering fee changes, new chain integrations, security upgrades, liquidity incentive programs, and treasury management.
What is the Harmonix Points system? +
Harmonix Points are the off-chain tracking system for your protocol engagement. Points are earned through every interaction: swapping (1 point per $100 volume), staking (1.5× multiplier), providing liquidity (2× multiplier), borrowing (bonus), and referring users (10% of referee points). Points convert to HMX at the airdrop snapshot.
Is there an insurance fund? +
Yes, Harmonix Finance maintains a protocol insurance fund that covers potential shortfalls in the lending protocol. 1% of all protocol fees flow into this fund. Additionally, a portion of HMX token emissions is allocated to build the fund to $50M in coverage.
What is the minimum amount to stake SOL? +
There is no minimum staking amount on Harmonix Finance — you can stake any amount of SOL, even fractions. This makes liquid staking accessible to all users regardless of portfolio size. Unstaking is also instant and available at any time with no unbonding period required.
How are swap routes optimized? +
Harmonix Finance uses a smart order routing algorithm that splits your swap across multiple DEX pools (Harmonix, Raydium, Orca, Meteora, Phoenix, and others) to find the best execution price. The routing engine evaluates hundreds of paths in real-time to minimize slippage and maximize your output amount.
How do I earn maximum HMX rewards per swap? +
To maximize HMX rewards per swap: (1) Stake SOL to activate the 1.5× swap reward multiplier. (2) Maintain active liquidity positions for the 2× LP boost. (3) Reach higher trading tiers (Tier 2: $10K+ monthly, Tier 3: $100K+ monthly) for progressively higher reward rates. (4) Refer active traders to earn bonus rewards.
Where can I track my airdrop points and rewards? +
You can track your Harmonix Points, swap rewards, and airdrop allocation in the Rewards Dashboard, accessible from the main navigation after connecting your wallet. The dashboard shows real-time points accumulation, your current airdrop tier, leaderboard ranking, and estimated HMX allocation.
