Harmony said it plans to fully sunset its Layer 1 blockchain and has proposed migrating its token to Ethereum as part of a new direction centered on AI video. The project described the effort as a “remix economy” intended to involve AI video creators.

The proposed transition would move Harmony away from operating its own Layer 1 network, where validators have helped secure the chain and process activity. Harmony said it would assist validators in transitioning to the proposed new initiative as the Layer 1 is wound down.

Ethereum is a major smart-contract blockchain and a common destination for projects seeking to use its broader developer and application ecosystem. Harmony’s proposal links the token migration and validator transition to its planned AI video-focused remix economy, though the initiative remains a proposal.

Why this matters

Sunsetting a Layer 1 and migrating its token to Ethereum would materially change how Harmony’s network is secured, operated and accessed. The proposal could shift users and validators into Ethereum’s ecosystem while reducing the role of Harmony’s existing chain infrastructure; execution remains uncertain because the transition is still proposed.
