This post will provide information and helpful links to easily get started on Hive.


What is Hive?


Hive is a fast, scalable, and powerful blockchain based social-media platform. It powers the groundbreaking Play-To-Earn game, Splinterlands.

Hive is supported by a passionate and talented team of contributors with a growing and thriving ecosystem of Web 3.0 applications.

You can find more about the ecosystem here:



Hive uses the $HIVE cryptocurrency which has real monetary value.

Members are able to earn $HIVE by publishing content to the blockchain.



Several front-end applications interact with Hive and share an account management system. Your keys will allow access to them all. There’s no need to sign up for individual applications or games.

I listed the following front-end’s in order of user-friendliness.


Ecency

Ecency is the perfect entryway for new Hive members. The application is easy to navigate and has a pleasant feel. Another feature that makes Ecency unique is the use of its own token called Ecency points.

When members use Ecency they earn points. They can also buy points with Hive, or earn by delegating Hive Power (HP) to the application.

Spend Ecency points to boost rewards for your or another’s post and promote your content.



LeoFinance

It would take an entire blog post or two to explain all the benefits of LeoFinance. This community is a driving force for Hive. The community’s focus is cryptocurrency and finance. The developers of LeoFinance are behind some of Hive’s most important applications. They are visionaries responsible for bringing Web 3.0 to life.

LeoFinance is powered by $LEO.



PeakD

PeakD is an extremely popular front-end for Hive. It contains powerful features that enhance your ability to interact with the blockchain and create and share content.

PeakD grows in value as you progress as a content producer on Hive.
