DApps are inarguably the selling points for Hive as a blockchain. Having an array of functional applications to choose from based on your preferences is something every internet user would love. The push from monopoly is what birthed decentralization and the liberty to choose from many competitive alternatives add more flavour to this journey. Many hearty cheers to all developers out there that are working tirelessly to build applications that make our content creation and consumption journey on Hive seamless.
Simply put, Hive brings the entire internet to a single spot and reach of its users and yet, we are served with excellent alternatives that make socialization and work fun-filled and easier. Deeper is the fact that we tokenize everything and as such, every moment spent here counts whether as a creator or a consumer of content.
With the increasing number of users joining us on Hive on daily basis as we can see in the daily chart below, it is important to help put them on the know to help retain them. Truly, the statistics captured below shows how small the percentage of the new accounts created stay active. I've personally helped many top create their accounts, however, only those at a close range of my influence who enjoy my frequent online/offline coaching actually do well.
Souce: Hive Statistics – 2021.08.04 by @Arcange
One of the factors that would affect the retention of new users here is information on the usage of the platform. No matter how we look at it, Hiving is complex when compared to web 2 platforms that most of them come from. This is why recap posts such as this is necessary. I have to say this as some may feel that https://hivestats.io/ is already 15 months old.
Presently, Hivestats pinned tab is the most frequently refreshed on my PC browser. This I need as a content creator cum investor on Hive and I do my best to maximize the functionalities of the app. I introduce my Hive referrals to it and it serves me a lot of questions when it has to do with understanding the statistics of their accounts. A full information as summarized during the launch of Hivestats V2 last year can be found in this post. We've seen a grand update on the app from creation of V2 to date and the evolving functionalities which keeps adding value to its usage as well as the @LeoFinance community that created it.
What can I do on Hivestats.io?
There are several operations that can be carried outa s well as several information that can be drawn from Hivestats. I wish to summarize a few underutilized features as follows for the ease of understanding of new users:
- It's a Hive Wallet with full operations
I bet you not many Hivers are aware of this feature as available on Hivestats. However, it can only be accessed when logged in via Hive Keychain as shown in the screenshot below. Once logged in, the wallet operations would become active on the HIVE pane.
As shown above, Hive wallet Operations that can be carried out include: Transfer Hive, Power up Hive, Transfer Hive to Savings, Delegate Hive Power and Powerdown Hive.
- It's a Hive-engine Token Wallet with limited operations
As with Hive, Hive tokens balances, amount staked , delegated out/in, USD value of token held can also be accessed on Hivestats. This appied for Hive tokens.
Wallet Operations that can be carried out for Hive tokens include: Transfer and a quicklink to the market page of the token on leodex.
- It's the Investor/Trader's Companion
Yeah, you read that right. If you're an active Hive or Hive token investor or trader, you'll need to have Hivestats pinned to your browser. Here, there is access to Hive and HBD market value by CoinGecko as well as LEO Market Value on Hive-engine/leodex.
The resultant effect of the most recent transaction on any Hive token would always reflect on the "USD" column of the Hive-engine tokens wallet frame.
There's much more to utilise Hivestats for. Let's keep the rest for another day. Stay informed and be in charge of your Hive account with Hivestats.
