Greetings to the entire Hive community,
How are you all doing? By the grace of God, I hope you are well.
Fast.
Scalable.
Powerful.
Blockchain for Web3.
Hive is not a new shiny toy. We have been here for quite some time and have built a rich ecosystem of hundreds of dapps, communities and projects. We are home to some of the most widely used Web3 dapps in the world, such as Splinterlands, PicD and Ekency.
Fast with no fees
Built for people and communities, Hive technology has been enjoying 3-second transactions and zero gas fees for years. For the technically inclined, we are a Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) chain, allowing those who invest the most time and resources in Hive to realize the most value.
New accounts have some free RC by default to help them get started.
Hive is one of the most decentralized blockchains. There is no single entity or organization controlling the network. Everything is managed by the community members.
The initiative behind the creation of Hive was decentralization. The community came together to create something that cannot be surpassed by a centralized entity.
Readable Wallet Addresses
Hive wallet addresses are easy to remember. They look and work just like usernames in traditional applications. In other words, a username is both a wallet address and a social media handle.
Decentralized Hive Funding
The development of Hive and its ecosystem is made possible by the community. To encourage important work, the same community can engage in participatory voting to fund proposals through the Decentralized Hive Fund (DHF).
HBD is a USD-pegged algorithmic stablecoin backed by HIVE. We currently offer one of the highest interest rates in the crypto space for holding HBD in savings accounts.
Interest rates are variable and voted on by witnesses.
