No wait, no fees. Truly decentralized FOSS blockchain & crypto built for connection. Gather, share & earn | built & owned by everyone, not VCs | $HIVE $HBD ♦️
There's more to owning and disseminating your public content than just immutability as part of censorship resistance, but it's the most important factor
and it's what Hive was built for.
We're an uncontrollable no-fee database with public access, a ton of easy to deploy APIs and libraries, a FOSS social graph, permissionless payments, distribution and monetization, encryption for messaging and data transfer, portable voluntary identity, permanently owned wallet names, and so much more.
Hive's been built in public by real people in a world where authorship is hard to track, automation is churning endless slop, you can be memory-holed and supressed, and captured algorithms drive pretty much all surfacing of content and engagement on the whims of platform oligarchies. We're maintained and growing via passionate humans who are creating equitable infrastructure for everyone to do more with, and we have more than a decade of history locked into our chain.
Metas don't phase us. We don't follow hype cycles. We've outlasted millions of chains and projects. For more than 6 years, we've been building useful tools and functional tech because we are driven by what we need and want ourselves... not what a VC needs to flip and exit, not what looks good on the short term sheet to hide an unscalable or unsustainable ethos.
From a static site to a community forum to a back catalog of personal think pieces, history and access should belong to and be controlled by you alone.
Embed your content anywhere. Pull from the blockchain verified source. Browse a ton of social sites and views and explore content and relationships that are syndicated across all of them. You might be using Hive without even realizing it already (we take that as the highest compliment.)
Use Hive freely, for whatever connections you're building:
any chain, any product, any relationship, or any goal;
every possibility ♦️
from 2020 to 2025, I wrote 38 opinion pieces for Coindesk. today the link to almost every one is broken. and my author page is gone. so they are effectively erased from the internet. this is why you have to own your own distribution
ChainCulture is back on 18 September 2026.
Builders, artists, thinkers, curious minds...
you're all invited.
Free entry. Good talks. Good vibes.

The crosschain future of crypto needs a base currency nobody controls. That currency is HBD.
Hive's own decentralized stablecoin, no corporate issuer, no kill switch, no permission required.
Here's how Magi is making HBD the backbone of global crosschain DeFi.

🇷🇴 Innopay just went international.
Zen Bar Bucharest is our first partner outside Luxembourg, and the first venue in Romania where you can pay with HBD. #Hive 🧵
@felinnez@splinterlands it's always hard to tell if tags in photos will stick or even bother showing up on this app (almost as if you normally use Hive for social connections and get used to instant, immutable engagement) but it's @KennethBosak
It's go time! Join the Hive community, devs, apps, and projects defining and delivering the open, connected social web for Hivefest 2026
in Catalonia
we learn, we earn, we share, we create, we spend
we build
we party
we $HIVE
🇪🇸 IT’S OFFICIAL:
HiveFest XI is coming to BARCELONA! 🌊
Sept 17–20, 2026. Architecting decentralization in the heart of Catalonia with a special #ChainCulture crossover.
Details here: https://t.co/dL1yfAYSX4
Start scheming! 🐝 #Barcelona#ViscaHive#Web3#Hive
culture is peer to peer
so are we.
Places where people come together to build, earn, play, spend or engage are where value and taste are created. Hive connects you to what matters: own your money, messages, content, platforms, identity, projects and socials
for the culture 🤌
everyone thinks blockchain social sounds dumb, because the attempts that bought their way into the spotlight in previous cycles turned friends into exit liquidity, attention spans to mush, content into slop and then exploded, rugged, or faded.
What we use is "just" social, except it works.
"just" digital money, but it works.
"just" gaming and data services, but they work.
"just" unbreakable connections, forever archival, provable voting, and online identities with no KYC, and it all just works.
the Hive blockchain is what powers everything and puts ownership and decisions back into the hands of the people using the tech. It doesn't matter if you even realize it's there: apps and businesses get to create and engage instantly with the world's largest and longest running open social graph, and users get to enjoy all the perks that blockchain provides, no matter how they connect. Locking your own value away from you is impossible.
forget blockchain social and the legacy unsocial media
try "just" social and find what fits you
@arferrari correct! RCs are a balancing system that always replenish over time after use, and never consumes the $HIVE staked for them... which means that using the network has escalating requirements for transactions and security features, but doesn't waste your funds in the process 🤝
fee talk on the tl again.
Hive transactions have always been free.
(not "cheap," free)
Our base layer is by design. We're made to power projects without friction and our builders have never had to plan around transaction costs.
change what's possible with sustainability in mind
Feeless isn't an L2 workaround or future roadmap item... it's a core part of our crypto's real world function and our blockchain as a tool for people, products, businesses, and features to all come together without nickel and diming each other. All the security, all the economics, none of the stumbling blocks.
may the fourth be with you
Sometimes you forget that instant, no fee transactions between anyone, anywhere and unbreakable content connections aren't magic...
Hive is an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us.
It binds the galaxy together.
Shoutout to @hiveblocks ⚡
Zero transaction fees means when you win a prediction or contest, you keep 100% of it.
No gas. No hidden cuts. No “network congestion” eating your prize.
This is exactly why we built @SportsBlock_ on Hive. 🏆
Creators and their communities are the lifeblood of the internet, and by extension... everything else
the formation of taste, development of social culture, emerging marketplaces, and a trove of shared knowledge, tools, skills and opportunities
go where connection is valued
Imagine using an app…
Posting. Liking. Moving.
And never paying for a single action.
That’s HIVE.
No fees. Just usage.
Why did we accept paying for every click?
thanks for spreading the message of why it matters where and how you decide to create and engage! Everyone says the internet is forever, but it never seems to be when we actually need it to.
There are plenty of reasons for wanting to control your own content and connections, and a lot of them are just the ephemerality of how fast the web moves these days. But breaking links in prod has the same outcome as being purposefully shadowbanned, and it just becomes more and more undeniable as time goes on that we can (and must!) build on fundamental base layer rails that support everyone via tech that belongs to everyone... businesses and products can improve their offers based on the values that FOSS infrastructure like Hive and other functional blockchain provides.
