Volume Bubbles Chart (1h)

Each 1-hour candle's volume is signed by its direction (up candles count as net buying, down candles as net selling) and drawn as a bubble at the closing price, green for buying and red for selling. Bubble size and colour intensity show how strong that flow is compared with the last 300 candles: the strongest 30% get full bubbles with their USD value, the rest stay as small dots. Unusually large bubbles flag aggressive buying or selling worth a closer look, often near breakouts, reversals or key levels.

Seasonal Chart

Plots one line per calendar year showing the % change since the start of that year, with the current year highlighted against up to four previous years. Lining the years up on the same calendar shows whether the price tends to rise or fall in the same months, helping you spot recurring seasonal patterns. Treat it as context rather than a forecast: past seasonality does not guarantee future moves.

Hive Historical Data

About Hive (HIVE)

Hive is a public blockchain designed for fast transactions and applications built around accounts, content and community participation. Its developer portal describes delegated proof of stake, human-readable account names and a Resource Credits system. These choices make Hive different from chains where each interaction normally requires a separate gas payment in the familiar form of a transaction fee. HIVE is the network's liquid token. Users can power it up into Hive Power, which affects voting influence and resource allocation. The blockchain uses elected witnesses to produce blocks, while token holders can vote for witnesses. This connects network operation with community participation, although the exact effect of a vote depends on the chain's current rules and the stake behind it. Resource Credits are a distinctive part of Hive's transaction model. Staking HIVE provides a resource allowance that can be consumed by blockchain operations. The allowance regenerates over time, so users with little stake may need to wait or obtain delegated resources before performing more actions. This is not literally unlimited activity: resource availability depends on stake and network rules.

Witnesses and delegated proof of stake

Hive uses witnesses to produce blocks and maintain consensus. Token holders vote for witnesses, and the selected witnesses participate in block production. This system can support rapid block times, but it also means governance and reliability depend on witness performance, election dynamics and how voting power is distributed across accounts.

HIVE, Hive Power and Resource Credits

HIVE can be converted into Hive Power through a power-up process. Hive Power is associated with influence in governance and with the resource budget used for transactions. Resource Credits help applications avoid charging a visible fee for every action, but the cost has not disappeared: users still depend on a limited allowance that is linked to staked resources.

HBD and the Hive economy

Hive also has Hive Backed Dollars (HBD), a separate token designed around a dollar-oriented value target. HIVE and HBD should not be treated as interchangeable assets: HIVE is the liquid network token, while HBD has its own conversion and economic rules. A target value is a design goal, not a guarantee that HBD always trades at exactly one dollar.

Social applications and account identity

Hive's ecosystem includes content and community applications that use blockchain accounts rather than relying solely on a central platform database. Human-readable account names make addresses easier to recognize, while blockchain records can support rewards and reputation systems. The quality of an application still depends on its own moderation, user experience and incentives, not only on the underlying chain.

Risks and practical considerations

HIVE's resource model, witness elections and separate HBD economy create specific risks. Resource limits can affect users with small balances; governance can reflect concentrated voting power; and HBD can trade away from its target. Before interacting with an app, verify the account, understand the power-up or delegation terms, and distinguish network design from promises about token value.

Hive (HIVE) FAQ

What is Hive (HIVE)?

Hive is a public blockchain that uses delegated proof of stake and supports social applications, games and other account-based services. Its developer portal highlights human-readable account names, witnesses and Resource Credits. HIVE is the liquid network token, while Hive Power and HBD serve different roles in the ecosystem.

What is HIVE used for?

HIVE can be transferred, traded or powered up into Hive Power. Staked resources help users obtain Resource Credits for blockchain operations, and token holders can vote for witnesses. These functions connect HIVE to network use and governance, but they do not guarantee that an application will reward every user or that the token will appreciate.

What are Resource Credits on Hive?

Resource Credits are a regenerating allowance used to cover the resource cost of Hive operations. Users obtain resources through stake, and delegation can help accounts that need more capacity. This model avoids a visible fee for each ordinary action, but activity is still limited by the resources available to an account.

How does Hive choose block producers?

Hive uses delegated proof of stake with witnesses. Token holders vote for witness accounts, and elected witnesses participate in producing blocks. This can support quick confirmation times, but users should understand that voting power is tied to the network's stake and that witness reliability and governance participation affect the system.

What is Hive Power?

Hive Power is the powered-up form of HIVE used in the network's influence and resource model. It contributes to voting weight and helps determine Resource Credits available for operations. Powering up changes how the asset can be used, so users should read the current rules before assuming it behaves like freely transferable liquid HIVE.

Is HBD the same as HIVE?

No. HBD, or Hive Backed Dollars, is a separate asset with a dollar-oriented target, while HIVE is the liquid network token. They have different economic mechanics and should not be treated as equivalent. HBD's target does not mean its market price is guaranteed to remain exactly one dollar at all times.

Does Hive charge transaction fees?

Hive's Resource Credits model means many ordinary operations do not require a separate visible fee like gas on other networks. Instead, the account consumes a resource allowance linked to stake, which regenerates over time. Accounts with insufficient resources can still face practical limits, so 'no transaction fee' should not be read as unlimited free activity.

What is HIVE's all-time high?

Hive's market-wide peak is listed as $3.41 for Nov 25, 2021. This is a recorded market high, not a level that must recur. The Price Statistics panel provides the current displayed record; differences in venue coverage and the token's trading history can affect historical comparisons.

How has HIVE performed historically?

FMchart's composite chart shows the available historical price series for Hive, with its start date visible in the chart. Monthly and yearly results depend on the exchanges and dates represented in that series. The project's documented mechanics describe network design, not a reliable prediction of future market returns.

What risks should HIVE users understand?

Users should consider voting-power concentration, witness reliability, resource limits and the separate market risks of HIVE and HBD. Resource Credits can constrain accounts with little stake, while HBD's dollar target can diverge from market price. Application-specific security and moderation risks also remain even when an app uses Hive.
