What is HIVE

1. Project Introduction
Hive is a decentralized blockchain platform with fast transactions (3 seconds), zero fees, human-readable usernames, a decentralized community fund, and an algorithmic stablecoin (HBD) backed by HIVE. It uses Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) to achieve a balance of scalability, decentralization, and speed. Key features include:
Resource Credits: Users stake HIVE to gain resource credits for nearly free transactions.
Readable Usernames: Enables easy social and transactional interaction with identifiable names.
Stablecoin (HBD): One of the longest-running algorithmic stablecoins in the market.
Social Layer: Originated with decentralized social media platforms that empower freedom of speech and censorship resistance.
Decentralized Hive Fund (DHF): A community-governed fund for incentivizing development and innovation on the chain.
Hive was launched in March 2020 via a hard fork from the Steem blockchain after its acquisition by TRON.
2. Team & Investment Info
Steem was originally founded by Dan Larimer (aka BM), also the founder of EOS. Hive emerged as a community-led fork post-acquisition.
Funding: NA
