Hive is a decentralised blockchain platform born from a hard fork of the Steem blockchain in March 2020. It was designed to enhance decentralisation and community-driven governance within the digital ecosystem. Hive provides a fast, scalable, and secure environment tailored for web 3.0 applications, such as social media, content creation, and digital gaming. It employs a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism, enabling users to participate in governance through staking and voting. Hive also emphasizes low-cost, feeless transactions and rapid confirmation times, making it a practical choice for developers and users. By focusing on decentralisation, Hive empowers its users with more control over their data and rewards community contributions with its native cryptocurrency, HIVE.
