For the past year, I’ve been laying the groundwork for PeakeCoin to become a truly multichain token — existing not just on one blockchain, but across multiple networks like Polygon, Ethereum, and, most importantly, Hive.

The next major milestone is clear:
I need Hive Engine to become an official minter of PeakeCoin.

Why Hive Engine as a Minter Matters

If Hive Engine becomes a recognized minter, it means PeakeCoin can:

Be issued natively on Hive without depending on complicated swaps.
Allow instant movement between Hive and other blockchains like Polygon.
Give users in the Hive community a direct way to acquire, use, and trade PEK without leaving their ecosystem.
Enable PeakeCoin to integrate seamlessly into existing Hive-based apps, games, and marketplaces.

This step is not optional — it’s essential. Without it, PeakeCoin’s multichain ambitions are held back by manual bridging and costly delays.

The Current State

Right now, PeakeCoin exists in smart contract form on Polygon:

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

contract PeakeCoin {
    string public name = "PeakeCoin";
    string public symbol = "PEK";
    uint8 public decimals = 18;
    uint256 public totalSupply;

    mapping(address => uint256) public balanceOf;
    mapping(address => mapping(address => uint256)) public allowance;

    constructor(uint256 _initialSupply) {
        totalSupply = _initialSupply * 10 ** uint256(decimals);
        balanceOf[msg.sender] = totalSupply;
    }
}

This works beautifully for EVM chains. But the Hive ecosystem requires an on-chain minting authority to manage native tokens. That’s where Hive Engine comes in.

Doing This Alone

I’ve been working on this as a solo developer — researching, coding, paying gas fees, learning new frameworks, and experimenting with bridging solutions.

It’s costly.
It’s time-consuming.
And it’s worth it.

I was hoping more people would jump in by now, but I can’t make anyone work on something they’re not passionate about. So, for now, it’s me, head down, chuggin’ along.

Why Now Is the Time

The Hive blockchain has the tools, the community, and the infrastructure to make PeakeCoin’s Hive integration a reality. All that’s missing is official Hive Engine minter status.

Once that happens:

Hive users can get PEK directly on Hive.
Bridging to Polygon and other chains becomes smooth and automated.
Local projects in Maryland (my home) can integrate blockchain payments without friction.

The Transfer Logic That Will Power It

Here’s the transfer function that underpins PeakeCoin’s blockchain transactions:

function transfer(address _to, uint256 _value) public returns (bool success) {
    require(balanceOf[msg.sender] >= _value, "Insufficient balance");
    balanceOf[msg.sender] -= _value;
    balanceOf[_to] += _value;
    emit Transfer(msg.sender, _to, _value);
    return true;
}

Once Hive Engine is a minter, similar logic will be mirrored on Hive, ensuring tokens move between chains without trust in third-party custodians.

My Ask

If you’re connected with Hive Engine leadership, I want to talk.
If you’re a developer who’s done Hive Engine minting before, I want your insight.
I was told by @aggroed to reach out to @cryptomancer and or @reaz
If @thecrazygm @ecoinstant @powerpaul @txracer or anyone else has the knowledge, let me know. Thanks.
