Blockchain of HIVE, has been the epicenter of my crypto experience. From Steem to HIVE, we have come a long way. There has been a lot of development over the years. It is great to witness changes happening into the eco system of HIVE. HBD savings receiving 20% APR, we have a DAO, we have genuine authors creating authentic contents (I have seen Steem trending page, lol don't ask me what's there), we have gaming community and what not. Yes, there are lots of spaces where we can improve but so far it has been magnificent.
HIVE KEYCHAIN
In order to access the blockchain of HIVE and its Dapps, Hive @keychain gives seamless access to Hive eco system and secure our funds as well. Its a browser extension and also have a mobile app for both Android , IOS. Unlike other users, I also have been a user of it (both extension and mobile app) from the very beginning. Recently, there has been lots of updates coming from the team and they are quite useful for our everyday activities on HIVE.
The feature of Swap, was introduced lately into the extension and mobile app. It sure is useful in certain ways. A more detailed explanation is out in the post. My experience in using the swap feature.
Swaps:
kaychain swap has integrated HIVE:HBD internal market conversion, along with HIVE-Engine tokens. I went to check out the whole process with a transaction. For which I went out with the pair DEC:HBD conversion.
Four easy steps and you are good to go:
- Go to
Swapfeature in keychain - Select your desired pairs for swaps
- Once you are good to go, click
swap - On next tab, click
confirm
On next tab, you shall receive the confirmation of your desired swap. Its that easy.

How fast the transaction is?
Its pretty fast that, I must say. As you can see, it took less than a minute for the transaction to go through. If I had to perform this swap manually, I would have to go through these phases :
DEC TO HBD conversion
- Convert my DEC To SwapHIVE in Hive-Engine/Tribaldex
- Withdraw my SwapHive to my wallet
- Than visit the internal market and place my order to get fulfilled
But thanks to Hive-Keychain, this all happened within a minute and I did not have to go through all the hassle.
I have seen the upgrade has been done to mobile app as well. I have not tried it phone yet but I am assuming the service will be as smooth as the extension in web browser.
Feedback :
This has been a tremendous addition to keychain. I would definitely use this feature a lot often in the coming days.
Adding feature request :
Using Keychain, has been a necessity for me. It made my HIVE activities very seamless and also security is top notch out in the app. If possible I would like to request some additional features in the upcoming upgrade (if that's possible). The first one is to have a Expand View option on Hive Keychain (Browser extension version). It is a helpful feature in other web3 wallets such as Metamask, Aptos wallets etc. It is really annoying when you are about to do some task and mistakenly click somewhere and the pop up of keychain disappears. Which is why, one has to go through the tasks once again.
The Team of HIVE Keychain
I have supported Hive Keychain's proposal for all the tasks they are performing for us. Thanks to the team and everyone related to this awesome service. I wish nothing but success for the team in the coming days. And yeah, please keep on doing these awesome improvements to our eco system of HIVE.
