What is Hive?
Hive is a decentralised, open-source blockchain that launched in 2020 as a community-driven fork of the Steem chain. It was created to put control in the hands of its community, with no single company running the network, and it is governed by the people who use it.
Hive uses a Delegated Proof of Stake system, where 21 witness nodes produce blocks. That design gives fast three-second block times and lets most everyday actions happen without a transaction fee, through a Resource Credits model that regenerates over time rather than charging per action.
The network specialises in social media, content and community apps, from blogging platforms to games and NFT marketplaces. HIVE is used to power up accounts for more voting influence, take part in governance, and support content creators. On Digital Surge you can buy and hold Hive in AUD, then keep it in your account or withdraw it to a wallet you control.
