Account
One handle. One identity. One set of keys. Every dapp reads it the same way.
For developers
Build your app on Hive.
Wallet. Two SDKs. Docs. Everything needed to ship a Hive app from prompt to transaction ID.
Read the concepts
Four primitives that decide how your code talks to the chain.
API
Send JSON over HTTPS. Get JSON back. Works from any language that speaks HTTP.
Chain
The chain records. Your app reads it. Consensus stays small. No virtual machine, no gas at the protocol.
Signing
Keychain signs. The chain records. Any explorer verifies.
Run the steps
Five steps to your first on-chain action.
Install Keychain. Create an account. Ship the first action.
- 01
Install Hive Keychain
Get it from the official site. Lock it with a passphrase you do not reuse. From here on, every action is signed.
Get Keychain - 02
Create your Hive account
Open Hola Hive. Claim a handle, write down the keys. Done — you are on the chain.
Open Hola Hive - 03
Pick your path
Two paths. From scratch with Wax + JSON-RPC + any language, or on a social frontend with the Ecency SDK. Pick the one that matches your team.
- 04
Set up your environment
Install the SDK dependency, point it at a public node, and grab test keys from a dev faucet. Sign without touching real funds.
- 05
Make your first action
Broadcast a transfer, post a comment, or sign a custom_json. The transaction ID is your proof — any explorer reads it.
Pick your tools
Four tools that ship the first version.
Wallet. Two SDKs. Docs. Everything needed to ship a Hive app from prompt to transaction ID.

Open -
Social frontend SDK
Ecency SDK
Higher-level helpers for posts, profiles, feeds, and communities. Use it when the dapp you are building is a social surface.
Open -
Docs
Devportal
Official developer documentation for Hive. Concepts, APIs, tutorials, and a list of public nodes you can call.

Ship the smallest version.
Pick the path. Pick the stack. Ship the first action. The network decides the rest.
