They call it "Hive Community Airdrop & Rewards" and they promise to "rewarding active holders, staking, curators, witnesses, and delegators on the Hive blockchain" You should only "check your eligibility and claim rewards instantly" - maybe 100Hive, maybe 600 or more.

But: Hive does not do official airdrops or giveaways. Hivewatchers (the community security/abuse team) has repeatedly stated that the Hive ecosystem / hive.io has never officially offered and will never offer airdrops or giveaways.

Rewards on Hive come only from normal activity: posting content, curation (voting), staking (Hive Power), and related mechanics—not random external “claim portals.”

Legitimate Hive frontends (hive.blog, peakd.com, ecency, wallet.hive.blog, HiveSigner, etc.) never ask you to paste your Active key, Owner key, or master password into a random third-party site. Doing so gives the attacker full control to drain your liquid HIVE/HBD, power down your Hive Power, and steal the account.

The domain https://claim-hive.blog/rewards and presentation in a deceptive design are fake. Official sites use known domains. This is a lookalike “claim-*.blog” style page (similar ones like claim.loyalty-hive.blog have already been called out by users on PeakD for the exact same red flags: countdown, big numbers, and key requests).

At the bottom of the page it claims "Hive Blockchain Ecosystem. All rights reserved", but that is also fake. If you go to the supposed "Support Center" at the bottom of the page, you'll see that you're simply taken to the main page of https://hive.blog/.

So be careful! This page is pushed via spam comments or messages on Hive. Community members have warned about identical “Hive airdrop / loyalty rewards” phishing campaigns.
Do not enter any keys, passwords, or credentials on that site.
