## Τι Είναι το Hive (HIVE);

Το Hive (HIVE) είναι ένα blockchain που λειτουργεί με έναν [μηχανισμό συναίνεσης](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/consensus-mechanism) [εξουσιοδοτημένης απόδειξης συμμετοχής](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/delegated-proof-of-stake-dpos) (DPoS). Κυκλοφόρησε τον Μάρτιο του 2020 ως [σκληρό πιρούνι](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/hard-fork-blockchain) του κεντρικοποιημένου blockchain [Steem](https://coinmarketcap.com/el/currencies/steem/) και ως δίοδος από το [Web 2.0](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/web-2-0) στο [Web 3.0](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/web-3-0). Το blockchain ισχυρίζεται ότι προσφέρει «αστραπιαίους χρόνους διεκπεραίωσης και συναλλαγές χωρίς χρεώσεις». Παραδείγματα περιπτώσεων χρήσης περιλαμβάνουν μέσα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης με ανταμοιβές για δημιουργούς περιεχομένου, διαδραστικά παιχνίδια blockchain, διαχείριση ταυτότητας, μικροδάνεια και άλλα. Η πλατφόρμα τροφοδοτεί [αποκεντρωμένες εφαρμογές](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-applications-dapps) (dApps) όπως το Splinterlands, το PeakD και το HiveBlog.

Το Hive είναι ένα κοινωνικό δίκτυο εφαρμογών και υπηρεσιών, όπου οι χρήστες ανακαλύπτουν τις δυνατότητες της τεχνολογίας blockchain, συνδέονται με την πλατφόρμα και μοιράζονται με ασφάλεια περιεχόμενο μέσω δίκαιης ανακατανομής της αξίας. Έτσι, οι χρήστες είναι οι ιδιοκτήτες του δικτύου και οι χορηγοί μπορούν να επικοινωνήσουν απευθείας με κοινότητες και καλλιτέχνες χωρίς μεσάζοντες.

Το Hive είναι ένα blockchain [ανοιχτού κώδικα](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/open-source) που εστιάζει στην επεκτασιμότητα μέσω των πλευρικών αλυσίδων [επιπέδου 2](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/layer-2), ενώ εξακολουθεί να επωφελείται από τον κορμό του από [blockchain επιπέδου 1](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/layer-1-blockchain) για τη διασφάλιση της ακεραιότητας των κατανεμημένων δεδομένων. Το οικοσύστημα Hive λειτουργεί με δύο κρυπτονομίσματα — το εγγενές [token διακυβέρνησης](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/governance-token), HIVE και το [stablecoin](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/stablecoin) HBD που είναι δεμένο με το USD.

### Ποιοι Είναι οι Ιδρυτές του Hive;

Η έναρξη του έργου ανακοινώθηκε από μέλη της κοινότητας Steem. Η πλατφόρμα Hive γεννήθηκε ως αποτέλεσμα της διαμάχης για τον έλεγχο της διαχείρισης μεταξύ του Justin Sun (Διευθύνοντα Σύμβουλο του Tron) και της Steemit Inc. Οι προγραμματιστές την ανέπτυξαν ως σκληρό πιρούνι του αυθεντικού blockchain Steem, που συνέχισε να λειτουργεί ανεξάρτητα, αλλά με έμφαση στην αποκέντρωση.

### Τι Κάνει το Hive Μοναδικό;

Το Hive είναι ένα blockchain που ισχυρίζεται ότι έχει σχεδιαστεί για το Web 3.0 και dApps μέσων κοινωνικής δικτύωσης με έμφαση στην ταχύτητα, την επεκτασιμότητα, την ασφάλεια και την αποθήκευση.

Το Hive διαθέτει ένα ανθεκτικό στον χρόνο σύστημα αποθήκευσης εύρους ζώνης και πόρων. Το δίκτυο είναι σε θέση να αποθηκεύει με ασφάλεια τεράστιες ποσότητες δεδομένων και να τα καθιστά διαθέσιμα μέσω δημιουργίας εσόδων βάσει χρόνου.

Όλο το αναρτημένο πρωτότυπο περιεχόμενο αποθηκεύεται μόνιμα στο blockchain Hive. Η ψηφοφορία για δημιουργούς περιεχομένου είναι διαθέσιμη στην πλατφόρμα και πραγματοποιείται με token HIVE και HBD εντός μιας περιόδου 7 ημερών. Το πρωτόκολλο Proof of Brain είναι υπεύθυνο για τη διατήρηση του επιπέδου ποιότητας περιεχομένου, το οποίο ενισχύει τη δημιουργική οικονομία αξιοποιώντας την ανθρώπινη υποκειμενικότητα.

Το blockchain ισχυρίζεται επίσης ότι είναι εύκολο να υιοθετηθεί από τους προγραμματιστές, επιτρέποντάς τους να δημιουργούν, να αναπτύσσουν και να τρέχουν dApps. Οι προγραμματιστές μπορούν να εισάγουν νέα δημόσια και ιδιωτικά δίκτυα, με τον ανοιχτό κώδικα του Hive.

### Πόσα Νομίσματα Hive (HIVE) Υπάρχουν σε Κυκλοφορία;

Το HIVE είναι το εγγενές κρυπτονόμισμα του δικτύου Hive. Σύμφωνα με το πρωτόκολλο DPoS, όσο περισσότεροι χρήστες ποντάρουν το HIVE τους, τόσο περισσότερα μπορούν να κερδίσουν από μια ομάδα ανταμοιβών.

Το HIVE είναι ένα πληθωριστικό κρυπτονόμισμα χωρίς σταθερή μέγιστη προσφορά. Τα νέα token HIVE εκδίδονται σύμφωνα με χρονοδιάγραμμα και διανέμονται ως εξής: 65% σε παραγωγούς περιεχομένου και επιμελητές περιεχομένου (μοιράζονται εξίσου)· 15% σε αυτούς που ποντάρουν HP· 10% στους Μάρτυρες· 10% στο Αποκεντρωμένο Ταμείο Hive (DHF).

### Πώς Διασφαλίζεται το Δίκτυο Hive (HIVE);

Το αποκεντρωμένο blockchain είναι χτισμένο με μηχανισμό συναίνεσης Εξουσιοδοτημένης Απόδειξης Συμμετοχής ([DPoS](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/delegated-proof-of-stake-dpos)). Οι Εξουσιοδοτημένοι (ή Μάρτυρες) επαληθεύουν τις συναλλαγές και δημιουργούν νέα μπλοκ στο blockchain για λογαριασμό των επενδυτών, συγκεκριμένα 20 επιλεγμένοι Μάρτυρες δημιουργούν μπλοκ τυχαία και οι χρήστες μπορούν να σταματήσουν την εξουσιοδότηση ανά πάσα στιγμή. Γενικά, η διαδικασία μειώνει τον κεντρικοποιημένο έλεγχο στο δίκτυο.

Η πλατφόρμα διαθέτει ένα αποκεντρωμένο σύστημα διακυβέρνησης όπου οι χρήστες έχουν ποντάρει ένα μερίδιο στο δίκτυο — έχουν δικαίωμα ψήφου και αυτό το ποντάρισμα αντιπροσωπεύεται από κλειδωμένα νομίσματα και αποθηκεύεται σε ειδικά πορτοφόλια για την προστασία του πρωτοκόλλου. Η εταιρεία που λανσάρισε το HIVE αποθηκεύει όλα τα ψηφιακά κρυπτονομίσματα σε ψυχρή αποθήκευση.

### Πού Μπορείς να Αγοράσεις Hive (HIVE);

Από τον Σεπτέμβριο του 2022, υπάρχουν πολλά χρηματιστήρια κρυπτονομισμάτων και πλατφόρμες διαπραγματεύσεων όπου οι χρήστες μπορούν να αγοράσουν HIVE, συμπεριλαμβανομένων των [Binance](https://coinmarketcap.com/el/exchanges/binance/), [Bithumb](https://coinmarketcap.com/el/exchanges/bithumb/), [Gate.io](https://coinmarketcap.com/el/exchanges/gate-io/), [Huobi Global](https://coinmarketcap.com/el/exchanges/huobi-global/), [Bittrex](https://coinmarketcap.com/el/exchanges/bittrex/), [ProBit Global](https://coinmarketcap.com/el/exchanges/probit-exchange/), [MEXC](https://coinmarketcap.com/el/exchanges/mxc/), [Indodax](https://coinmarketcap.com/el/exchanges/indodax/), [Tokocrypto](https://coinmarketcap.com/el/exchanges/tokocrypto/), [WazirX](https://coinmarketcap.com/el/exchanges/wazirx/), [Upbit](https://coinmarketcap.com/el/exchanges/upbit/), [CoinEx](https://coinmarketcap.com/el/exchanges/coinex/), [Nominex](https://coinmarketcap.com/el/exchanges/nominex/), [BKEX](https://coinmarketcap.com/el/exchanges/bkex/), [Pionex](https://coinmarketcap.com/el/exchanges/pionex/), [CoinDCX](https://coinmarketcap.com/el/exchanges/coindcx/), [Bitcoiva](https://coinmarketcap.com/el/exchanges/bitcoiva/), [Jubi](https://coinmarketcap.com/el/exchanges/jubi-exchange/) και [ProBit](https://coinmarketcap.com/el/exchanges/probit-korea/).

Steem is a community-focused blockchain that creates an instant earning opportunity for the network’s users. The protocol is designed to provide an earning opportunity for customers based on their value to the network. It is designed to provide users with a platform where they can post curated content online, and get paid in cryptocurrency.

The protocol is a publicly available, incentivized blockchain database that allows users to interact with each other and earn in return. It leverages technologies from both social media and cryptocurrency to provide users with value. The network ensures the fair treatment of contributors by running a reward structure that reflects each user’s contribution.

Steemit is the first app that was built on the Steem blockchain, and it launched on July 4, 2016. The protocol aims to provide value for its community of users in the following ways:

To provide thoughtfully chosen news and commentaries.

Creating an opportunity to earn.

As a source that offers answers to users’ inquiries.

Offering a stable cryptocurrency pegged to the USD.

WAX (WAXP) is a purpose-built blockchain, released in 2017, that is designed to make e-commerce transactions faster, simpler and safer for every party involved. The WAX blockchain uses delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) as its consensus mechanism. It is fully compatible with EOS.

The custom features and the incentive mechanisms developed by WAX are intended to optimize the blockchain’s utility specifically for use in e-commerce, with the goal of encouraging voting on proposals.

To make this possible, WAX created a suite of blockchain-based tools which decentralized application (DApp) marketplaces and non-fungible tokens can be built upon.

Services such as WAX Cloud Wallet, SSO and OAUTH support e-commerce operations, the latter being a native RNG service and a developer portal. WAX’s blockchain architecture supports 500-millisecond block time and zero-fee transactions for customers. It also makes use of voting rewards to incentivize participation in the selection of block producers and improvement proposals.

The XDC Network is a blockchain developed to support trade finance and the tokenization of RWAs. A highly optimized, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain, XDC Network reaches consensus through a delegated proof-of-stake (dPoS) mechanism, which allows for a transaction time of mere seconds, near zero gas fees, and a high number of transactions per second (TPS).

Secure, scalable, and highly efficient, the XDC Network powers a wide range of novel blockchain use cases and provides state-of-the-art infrastructure for enterprise-grade blockchain applications. With architecture that enables the creation of sovereign sub-networks, XDC Network is uniquely equipped to support those who require dedicated blockchain environments for enhanced permissions and control, such as government agencies, financial institutions, and businesses.

As of April 25, 2024, there are 312 XDC Network validator masternode candidates, of which 108 actively operate as validator masternodes, and the remainder are standby masternodes. Each masternode operator is required to stake 10M XDC.

A forthcoming upgrade to the consensus mechanism, dubbed XDC 2.0, is currently running on testnet. It and subsequent iterations of the XDC Network protocol will further enhance the security of the consensus mechanism and incorporate a novel "judiciary branch" into the consensus mechanism.

Developed by Princeton University's Pramod Viswanath, Hash Laboratories' Fisher Yu, and their team, XDC 2.0’s cutting-edge compliance technology will ensure unprecedented Byzantine fault tolerance (BFT) by holding validators accountable for their actions on an automated yet discretionary basis.

Bora is a decentralized ecosystem for games and entertainment. Bora aims to attract games and applications from the GameFi sector to its Bora Chain to avoid building on blockchains like Ethereum that have high gas fees. For that reason, Bora follows a two-tiered blockchain system: the BORA token is traded on the Klaytn blockchain, a public blockchain that is focused on metaverse and gaming use cases. The Bora chain is a modular blockchain that can be used as an execution layer by decentralized applications.

The Bora team provides development toolkits that support developers with creating decentralized applications for its ecosystem. It also utilizes Bora Points, a currency within the ecosystem as a resource for development and to incentivize contribution to Bora. Bora Points can subsequently be converted to the BORA token.

BORA

JUST is a popular new decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem built for the TRON blockchain. It is an entire suite of products that are mostly centered around a decentralized stablecoin lending platform known as JustStable.

The platform launched in August 2020 following an initial exchange offering (IEO) on the Poloniex LaunchBase platform earlier that same year, but the native governance token of the platform (JST) has been circulating since May 2020.

It is a two-token ecosystem built around the USDJ and JUST (JST) tokens. USDJ is a multi-collateral stablecoin that has its value pegged to the value of the US dollar (USD), whereas JST has a variety of functions on the platform — paying interest, helping maintain the platform and participating in its governance, helping to set parameters like interest rates (stability fees) and the minimum collateralization ratio.

To obtain USDJ on JUST, traders need to deposit collateral in the form of supported collateral tokens — including TRON (TRX), which are exchanged to PTRX tokens and locked as collateral forming a collateralized debt position (CDP). Depending on the amount of collateral deposited, users can then mint and withdraw USDJ, which must later be repaid to retrieve the initial collateral.

The platform is designed to provide a fair and borderless hub of DeFi products, that any TRON user can access.

Fantom is a directed acyclic graph (DAG) smart contract platform providing decentralized finance (DeFi) services to developers using its own bespoke consensus algorithm.

Together with its in-house token FTM, Fantom aims to solve problems associated with smart-contract platforms, specifically transaction speed, which developers say they have reduced to under two seconds.

The Fantom Foundation, which oversees the Fantom product offering, was originally created in 2018, with the launch of OPERA, Fantom’s mainnet, coming in December 2019.

Fantom is an open-source decentralized smart contract platform for DApps and digital assets that was created as an alternative to Ethereum. Fantom has the goal of overcoming the limitations of previous generation blockchains and balancing three components: scalability, security and decentralization. The project offers a set of tools to simplify the process of integrating existing DApps, as well as a detailed staking reward system and built-in DeFi instruments.

Fantom is a Layer-1 blockchain that uses a scratch-built consensus mechanism and independent consensus layer, Lachesis, to facilitate DeFi and related services on the basis of smart contracts. Lachesis provides security for other layers as well, including Opera, Fantom's EVM-compatible smart contract chain. The long-playing mission of the project is to “grant compatibility between all transaction bodies around the world.”

One of Fantom's key strengths is its performance and efficient transaction processing, namely thousands of transactions per second, where transactions are settled in 1-2 seconds, and the cost is fractions of a cent per transaction. As a result, Fantom provides higher scalability but at a lower cost.

The ecosystem is based on two main technologies: Lachesis protocol and Opera.

The Lachesis protocol is the core consensus layer that secures the Fantom network by providing both transaction speed and security.

Lachesis is an aBFT consensus engine that uses a directed acyclic graph (DAG) algorithm. How it works: network data can be processed at different times, and the network filters the participants, allowing only one third, which are allocated due to erroneous or malicious behavior, without compromising network processes.

Fantom's Asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerant (aBFT) Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism maintains the efficiency of the entire network, its design provides security at maximum speed. Fantom developers emphasize that the PoS mechanism is a leaderless phenomenon — there are no leaders of blocks and participants, and anyone can join (or leave) the network of nodes at a convenient moment.

The key qualities of Lachesis are: asynchronous, leaderless, Byzantine fault-tolerant, and near-instant finality.

As for Opera, it's an application development layer or Fantom's mainnet deployment platform, permissionless and open-source hosting DApps. Thanks to EVM integration and support for the Solidity programming language, Fantom has a full set of smart contract capabilities, which allows users to seamlessly interact with Ethereum platforms while maintaining the advantage of Fantom's transaction efficiency.

The Fantom Foundation concluded that removing block leaders improves network security, so Opera uses a PoS model and leaderless validators (validators do not determine which blocks are valid).

In addition to being a fast, secure and cheap payment platform that enables to make fast and secure payments at minimal cost, Fantom also features on-chain governance where users vote with FTM tokens (one token equals one vote). Of the features: users have the right to express the degree of agreement / disagreement on a scale from 0 to 4.

FTM is the native utility in-house PoS token of Fantom that powers the ecosystem and is applied for payments, network fees, staking, and governance. FTM forms the backbone of transactions, and allows fee collection and staking activities, along with the user rewards the latter represents.

Ontology is a project designed to bring trust, privacy, and security to Web3 through decentralized identity and data solutions. It is building the infrastructure to provide trusted access to Web3, allowing individuals and enterprises to rest assured that through regulatory compliant digital identity solutions, users and their privacy come first.

The Ontology blockchain is a high speed, low cost public blockchain. It is designed to bring decentralized identity and data solutions to Web3, with the goal of increasing privacy, transparency, and trust. To achieve this, users and enterprises are provided with the flexibility to build blockchain-based solutions that suit their needs, while also ensuring regulatory compliance. Through Ontology’s Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Ontology ensures frictionless compatibility with Ethereum, the first step in the creation of the Ontology Multi-Virtual Machine and further interoperability for the chain.

At its launch, Ontology chose to forego the popular initial coin offering (ICO) model in favor of a series of community distributions and airdrops of its ONT cryptocurrency.

This helped to quickly establish both organic price discovery and a passionate community and helped the project to avoid subsequent regulatory scrutiny.

For example, for a brief period any person who signed up for the Ontology newsletter received an airdrop of free 1,000 ONT, which reached a value of $10 per token soon after the token became listed on major exchanges like Binance.

Ontology launched its own MainNet on June 30, 2018 and has been up and running smoothly since.

Storj, pronounced as “storage,” is an open-source cloud storage platform. Basically, it uses a decentralized network of nodes to host user data. The platform also secures hosted data using advanced encryption.

In a white paper published in December,2014, Storj was first introduced to the world as a concept. It was to be a decentralized peer-to-peer encrypted cloud storage platform.

Two years later, an updated white paper was published. Here, a decentralized network  — connecting users who need cloud storage space with those who have hard drive space to sell — was described. The platform was launched in late 2018.

People with hard drive space and good internet connectivity can participate in the network. They become a unit in the network, called a node. Space providers are rewarded by Storj tokens.

Storj

Civic is a blockchain-based identity management solution that gives individuals and businesses the tools they need to control and protect personal identity information.

The platform is designed to change the way we think about identity verification by giving users more control over their personal data, while allowing them to access a wide range of services without needing to fork over excessive amounts of personal information.

Civic's identity verification solution uses distributed ledger technology to authorize identity usage in real time, and is used to sparingly share information with Civic partners after authorization by the user.

Unlike some other identity management services, Civic users store all their sensitive data on their mobile device. Users are able to authorize the sharing of specific personal data by providing a biometric signature through the Civic app.

The Civic ecosystem is enabled by a unique utility token known as the Civic token (CVC), which is used for the settlement of identity-related transactions between Civic participants — such as between a customer and service provider.

Users can earn CVC tokens for completing a variety of tasks, such as signing up for a service through the platform or introducing new users, while validators can earn CVCs for validating documents for service providers.

Civic was launched in 2018, following a sell-out initial coin offering (ICO) the year prior.
