A major release introducing the Hive Unified Wallet Protocol, on-chain swaps, and first-class integration with Ecency products.
After our initial release announcement, we have got few feedbacks and improvement suggestions, so this release delivers those and hardens integrations.
New window.hive API with identity flags exposes a standard provider registry (window.hive.providers[]) so dApps can detect and select between Hive Keeper, Keychain, Peak Vault, and others without per-extension globals.
Multi-Wallet Discovery Protocol specification published for ecosystem-wide adoption.
Hive Keychain dApp compatibility shim - existing Keychain-integrated dApps work with Hive Keeper out of the box, no code changes required.
Still waiting Keychain team to review proposed unification: https://github.com/hive-keychain/hive-keychain-extension/pull/595
Same unification proposal on Vault extension: https://gitlab.com/peakd/peak-vault/-/merge_requests/42
HIVE ↔ HBD swaps and Hive Engine token swaps fill instantly against the existing order book.
Swap engine hardening - fixed stale-estimate race, dead validator removed, estimate sequence bumps on every input change.
Proper Firefox manifest with data_collection_permissions and a clean unique add-on ID.
Privacy Policy + Terms of Service pages now hosted on GitHub Pages.
Vault persistence - accounts/keys reliably survive restarts.
Light theme polish across screens.
Account import flow fixes.
Splashscreen rendering.
Reduced build size and tightened production-build/audit pipeline.
Removed unused offscreen permission for a smaller permissions surface.
Unified extension abstraction consumes window.hive.providers[] first, with legacy global fallback.
Hive Keeper is recognised via rdns: com.ecency.keeper and surfaced alongside Keychain & Peak Vault in the login flow, with an install link to the Chrome Web Store listing.
Single detection + broadcast/sign API across all supported extensions.
The in-app dApp browser bridge speaks the unified protocol, so any dApp opened inside the Ecency mobile app can transact through the same flow Hive Keeper exposes on desktop.
HiveAuth path remains supported for cross-device signing.
Continued protocol adoption across Hive dApps, deeper Ecency integration, and ongoing swap UX refinements. Simplified unity of extensions already visible on Ecency.com and it follows similar standard how Ethereum extensions stay united while offer different UX.
Finally after months of back and forth, Firefox addon also accepted.
