Hive is a layer-1 blockchain focused on social media, content creation, and games. It began as a hard fork of Steem and is not EVM-based, so apps are built around Hive's own account and transaction system instead of Solidity contracts. Blocks arrive about every 3 seconds, which keeps posting, voting, and in-game actions quick.
The native token is HIVE. Ordinary actions on the chain are described as feeless. Rather than paying a fee each time, users get a resource allowance linked to the HIVE they have staked, which makes small, frequent actions practical. We don't list a price or DeFi TVL for the chain here, since Hive's activity is mostly social and gaming rather than lending or trading.
The Hive dApps we cover lean toward community and play. Liketu is a mobile-first photo and social app with feeds, voice posts, live rooms, chat, and a built-in wallet. Splinterlands is a collectible card game where players battle with NFT cards and earn or stake the SPS governance token, and it also appears on BNB Chain. Rising Star, a music career game, has announced it is shutting down in its current form, so check its status before getting involved.

Hive FAQs
What is Hive?
Hive is a layer-1 blockchain built for social media, content creation, and apps such as games. It came out of a hard fork of Steem and runs as its own network with the HIVE token.
Is Hive an EVM-compatible blockchain?
No. Hive is not an EVM chain, and it was designed around fast social and content transactions rather than Ethereum-style smart contracts. Apps usually talk to it through its own account and transaction system, and some use extra layers on top.
Does Hive charge transaction fees?
Hive is described as feeless for ordinary actions like posting, voting, and transfers. Instead of a per-transaction fee, activity is limited by a resource allowance tied to how much HIVE an account has staked. Specific costs for in-app purchases or marketplace trades depend on each dApp.
