I was having a hive discussion with another person I invited into hive few days ago. While trying to explain how to use the hiveengine, I realized that we get newbies everyday on hive, who found hive without the help of anyone. So who do they ask questions, the discord channel is there, but some of them don’t know they can use the discord channel.
But let me use the opportunity to teach you how Hive Engine works and what it is. In my own opinion Hive Engine is an Hive platform that give hive users access to building on the Hive Blockchain. It can also be used to swap/sell your hive blockchain token into Swap Hive. For instance, it is used to swap your POB token, Leo token, lassecash token to Swap Hive.
To use the Hive Engine type in the hive-engine.com { HiveEngine}on your browser and go to the website. You will be taken to the platform below.
Click on the Grey colored stripe below the HIVE ENGINE logo. You will see the below image.

Click on wallet, so you can see all the tokens in your wallet.
Click on the gray stripe below HIVE ENGINE logo to remove the tab so you can see your wallet properly. Now you can see your wallet properly and everything on your wallet.
Your wallet shows your token, the worth of all the token on your wallet, the amount of tokens staked and unstaked.
When you click on the “i” icon there, it shows you all the information you need to know about the clicked token
When you click on the arrow icon, it takes you where to buy or sell or swap your tokens for SwapHive.
First of all to buy any token through Hive Engine you need to have SwapHive. Your Liquid Hive on your Hive wallet is not SwapHive. So all you have to do is click on the Deposit icon to withdraw your liquid Hive from hive blog wallet to Swap Hive. You will
Be charged a 1% fee for this.
Now you have SwapHive, you can swap/ buy or sell with SwapHive.
