• Hive is a decentralized content network, powered by Delegated-Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus algorithm.

  • Hive was forked from the Steem blockchain, after the Tron Foundation acquired Steem and gained control of the company's funds in STEEM, which made up approximately 80% of the total STEEM supply. The fork is aimed to cope with the risks of centralization brought by this acquisition, as pro-Tron STEEM addresses were blacklisted and would not receive the HIVE token airdrop.

  • The Decentralized Hive Fund ("DHF") allows users to suggest proposals, fund those proposals, and cast a vote for their preferred changes. The Fund is set up so that no single actor can have control over major changes.

  • The Hive platform offers many functionalities similar to those of Steem. The platform has two tokens: Hive (HIVE) and Hive-backed dollars (HBD). HIVE is used for unlocking a variety of different functionalities the platform offers, which HBD is used mainly as a method for rewards.
