Hive Power is the backbone of governance and curation on the Hive blockchain. With Ecency, managing your stake is straightforward.
Convert liquid HIVE into Hive Power to:
Increase your vote influence on posts and proposals
Earn curation rewards
Participate in governance (witness voting, proposal voting)
Powering up is instant - tap, enter an amount, confirm. Done.
Need liquidity? Start a power down that converts HP back to liquid HIVE over 13 weekly installments. Ecency shows your power down schedule and remaining weeks clearly in the wallet.
Delegation lets you lend your Hive Power to another account without transferring ownership:
Delegate to anyone - enter a username, set the HP amount
Edit existing delegations - Ecency fetches your current delegation to that account and lets you adjust
Undelegate - set the delegation to zero to reclaim your HP (5-day cooldown)
View all delegations - see who you've delegated to and who has delegated to you
The delegation screen includes smart validation: it checks your available HP, enforces minimum thresholds, and handles the VESTS-to-HP conversion automatically.
Beyond native HP, you can stake and unstake Hive Engine community tokens directly from Ecency:
Stake tokens to earn rewards in specific communities
Unstake with community-defined cooldown periods
Delegate staked Engine tokens to other accounts
Ecency also supports SPK protocol operations:
Power up/down SPK tokens
Grant delegation power
Transfer LARYNX and SPKCC tokens
Your stake, your governance power, your rewards - all managed from one app.
