(HIVE)

Hive is a decentralized, open-source blockchain ecosystem designed to support Web3 applications and social media platforms. It officially launched in March 2020 as a community-driven hard fork of the Steem blockchain. This transition occurred after a conflict regarding the acquisition of Steemit Inc., with the community choosing to create Hive to preserve decentralization and community governance. The network operates using a Delegated Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism. This system relies on elected delegates, known as witnesses, to validate transactions and maintain the blockchain. One of the primary technical advantages of Hive is its speed, with block times of approximately three seconds. It also features a fee-less transaction model, where users utilize resource credits instead of paying traditional gas fees. Hive is unique for its Proof-of-Brain mechanism, which is a reward system that distributes tokens to content creators and curators. This encourages the growth of decentralized social media by rewarding engagement and high-quality contributions directly through the blockchain. The ecosystem supports a wide range of decentralized applications, including gaming platforms like Splinterlands and social media interfaces like PeakD and HiveBlog. The project uses a multi-token system to manage its operations. HIVE is the primary liquid token used for transactions and governance. Users can stake this token to gain Hive Power, which increases their influence in voting and their ability to earn curation rewards. Additionally, the network includes the Hive Dollar, which is an algorithmic asset designed to maintain a stable value relative to the US dollar. Governance on Hive is entirely decentralized. Stakeholders use their Hive Power to vote for witnesses and participate in the Decentralized Hive Fund. This fund allows the community to vote on and finance development proposals, marketing initiatives, and other projects that benefit the ecosystem. Because it has no central authority or corporate headquarters, Hive is a network owned and operated by its users. The platform also provides user-friendly features such as human-readable account names instead of long cryptographic addresses. These accounts serve as a universal identity across all applications in the ecosystem, allowing for a seamless experience for developers and users transitioning between different Web3 tools. This infrastructure is intended to be highly scalable, making it suitable for large-scale social media use and data storage. Learn more
