Someone made the mistake of asking me today why I build apps on Hive.
Here's a few reasons I came up with:
- Passive income.
- Transparency.
- Free, instant transactions.
- Increasingly decentralised.
- Numerous use-cases.
- All FOSS chain and libs.
- Web3-focused.
- Growing list of Dapps and games.
- Huge developer community.
- IFTTT/Smart-contracts.
- Automated recurring payments (bills, subscriptions, etc).
- Automated scheduled payments (pensions, employee bonuses, etc).
- Timed transfers.
- Zero KYC.
- Hundreds of ICO coins to trade.
- NFT's.
- Prediction markets.
- Tons of api nodes.
- Accepted at most exchanges and bridges.
- Multiple wallets for android, ios, and web.
- Ad-free and self-funding with a shared, multi-million dollar reserve pool.
- Direct-debit and beneficiary services.
- Free, multi-sig (and vanity) accounts.
- Supported by merchants worldwide.
- Atomic cross-chain swaps (accs) dev in progress.
- Paper wallets.
- A damn good stablecoin for USD.
- Human-readable account names/addresses ("please send 5 Hive to janedoe69").
- 51% Attacks are impossible.
- Vesting balances and interest-bearing accounts.
- Stakeholder approved funding for your projects...
A few of those are still in-progress and getting stronger by the day. The Developer community here is top-notch so if you're looking to build a blockchain app or dapp, have a look at Hive.
