DEV Community: HYVE

Why do mainstream companies need to accept crypto as a payment method?

HYVE — Thu, 18 May 2023 10:53:39 +0000

Nowadays, the world is undisputedly moving towards a new phase, decentralization. The emergence of blockchain technology gave birth to countless crypto projects and currencies, therefore, each with its own community, structure, particular use case, utility, and more. Although every crypto project is different in its own way, they are all changing the way society engages in day-to-day financial activities.

What can crypto do for my company?
Many studies, including ones from Forbes or Deloitte, have assessed the many rationales behind why some companies are using cryptocurrencies. Thus, the main ideas drawn are that companies can benefit from crypto in the following ways:

Crypto enables access to new capital and liquidity pools through traditional investments that have been tokenized, as well as to new asset classes, enabling diversification.
Crypto can provide access to new demographic groups meaning that it can act as a marketing tool.
Crypto furnishes certain options that are simply not available with fiat currency. For example, programmable money can enable real-time and accurate revenue-sharing while enhancing transparency to facilitate back-office reconciliation.
This type of currency may serve as an effective alternative or balancing asset to cash, which may depreciate over time due to inflation. Crypto is an investable asset, and some, such as bitcoin, have performed exceedingly well over the last years in spite of the risks of volatility.
To spark your company’s interest in amassing crypto as an asset class, here are some of the benefits of adding cryptocurrency as a method of payment:

Security
The chances of fraud, although still existent, are reduced to a great extent as cryptocurrencies are recorded on the blockchain and, therefore, the transactions are permanent. This enables trust and ensures that payments have gone through, regardless of any faulty claims by potential ill-intended business partners. In addition, blockchain provides full transparency, meaning that you can easily track all inflows and outflows out of your business, allowing for a more accurate accounting process.

Privacy
As we know, anonymity is one of the trademark benefits of cryptocurrency payments. Therefore, by allowing your customers to pay while using some type of token, you are also providing them the freedom to be anonymous while respecting their privacy. Even if some transactions might ask for your info, the amount of data is not even close to the traditional payment system. Nevertheless, this is a fine line that you should be careful with - you don’t want to do business with dangerous individuals and crypto payments do not provide a KYC process.

No more chargebacks
Businesses have to bear a lot of losses due to chargebacks, especially when some of them are not justified by a legitimate reason. Crypto payments can help in this regards, as the transactions that take place cannot be altered. They are recorded on an immutable public ledger. Therefore, businesses can eliminate potential fraudulent chargebacks by accepting crypto payments. The convenience of paying with crypto should come with some terms, including that of removing chargebacks for payments performed as such.

No more inconvenient currency conversions
Supposedly, your business tends to make international deals, and cross-border payments via multiple banks through several accounts can get quite frustrating if currency conversion is involved, creating additional obstacles like delays and new costs. Allowing payment in cryptocurrencies means that no more intermediaries are required, drastically reducing time and effort.

Paying or collecting payments in digital currency instead does not involve any cross-currency settlements. Perhaps it’s not the most relevant benefit for most businesses, but in some instances, it can make you appreciate even more the simplicity cryptocurrencies bring to the table

Use crypto for marketing
New customers might be interested in your business since it accepts some of the cryptocurrencies they own as payment, causing decent marketing opportunities might manifest. Therefore, not only do you serve a product or a service, but also make it accessible to as many people as possible while letting them know that if you own crypto, you’re always welcome to do business here.

By providing means to pay with crypto, merchants gain a competitive advantage in the early adopter’s market and access a new segment of customers that only gets broader with time. You can even cooperate with your payment provider to get more exposure to crypto-friendly online shoppers. In other words, if you use this opportunity wisely, it’ll pay off sooner rather than later.

Why is marketing vital for crypto projects?

HYVE — Thu, 30 Mar 2023 20:15:57 +0000

The crypto space is revolutionizing all technological aspects, not just currency and finance, attracting more and more people with a wide variety of skills and ideas each day. Therefore, with the community growing day by day, what separates an ideal, promising and renowned project from all others is that people understand its adoption potential and applicability, and that happens most of the time with the help of marketing.

This may seem like an odd statement as marketing crypto assets is not the same as marketing traditional products and services. However, marketing is one of the main aspects of keeping your project afloat and encouraging further development over time.

Here are some of the main reasons why…
Marketing creates your community
The success of your project will always depend on its community. The more active and engaged your base is, the more recognition it will acquire. Besides that, one should keep in mind that marketing is not valuable just when your coin or token launches but over time as well: some long-term investors will be interested in your token only after they see that your platform has a history of delivering the desired results.

Build trust in your brand
It is hard to picture without social media in 2022. Cryptocurrency projects and blockchain enthusiasts make no exception. As a result, it is no surprise that using social media platforms for promoting and building brands. Any crypto business needs to find ways to connect with its audience, therefore by targeting specific groups or creating them on different platforms and sharing information about the project itself, you can increase the project’s exposure. Trust is a massive aspect of the cryptocurrency space - the marketing department needs to ensure the legitimacy of your project in the eyes of any potential investor.

Convince people to invest
Marketing has a lot more to it than getting a lot of people to invest in your brand; it needs to educate potential investors on what they can gain from your business or how they can profit from investing. The only way to ensure everyone that your project achieves a particular standard is through strategic marketing. With your project’s token getting listed on multiple exchanges, a wider audience gets to learn about your project’s unique selling point.

Who is part of the marketing team?
Different projects have various marketing teams, varying in size, positions and specialty. Nevertheless, there are some basic positions that are required to be filled in order to ensure that your marketing is adequate and your reach is overarching. Thus, we decided to give out some details of the main positions we employ here at HYVE:

A crypto content writer
A content writer creates a major impact If you want to be successful in the blockchain community. A talented content writer can help shape the brand space and establish a unique tonality. Blogs, leadership articles, and press releases are content pieces that establish the project’s place in the industry, helping the brand showcase its product. In addition, it is important for the content writer to work closely with the other members of the team to send out the perfect message towards the main readers.

Social media manager
As we mentioned, social media has become a part of our life, and for your project to be recognized all over the crypto community, you need to reach the masses, raise your brand awareness, and build your community. Investing in social media marketing strategies could be your first step in the right direction to reap the benefits of what crypto social media has to offer for your project.

Marketing Specialist
Brainstorming ideas for marketing campaigns, improving your brand’s name, researching and analyzing data, and searching for marketing trends are some of the tasks that a marketing specialist is responsible for. As with any product, awareness and visibility are the keys to success since, based on how you present your project, you will gain interest, value, and new investors! It is also important to make informed decisions based on the analytics that your project collects. This is probably the most important position and requires good marketing knowledge, as their input is highly valued and is required, so that other positions could deliver articles or social media posts accordingly.

Why crypto payments benefit freelancers from developing countries?

HYVE — Wed, 22 Mar 2023 10:55:57 +0000

The blockchain space is quickly establishing itself as the next tech-revolutionary industry of the decade. Developing countries have embraced cryptocurrency as a means of escaping the traditional financial system and its limitations. Thanks to decentralization, it is a superior alternative to weak national currencies, making it more than just a system of vessels for crypto traders.

Freelancing has spread so quickly on the internet due to its ease of use and the flexibility that it delivers. However, the professionals from developing nations are having a hard time finding jobs due to a false bias towards freelancers from developed countries being better. In addition, the inflation, the pandemic, and the Russian-Ukrainian war have had a massive impact on the global economy, resulting in a difficult environment to seek employment and a hard time, eroding purchasing power.

As we have mentioned in our BiLira integration article, today we will tackle an important topic for freelancers, especially in developing countries.

The rise of freelancers in developing countries
As the gig economy expands, digital outsourcing is a catalyst for thriving gig economies in developing countries. Freelance tech work is also a solution for tackling the fast-growing rate of educated unemployment in developing countries. By supplementing their education with IT training, graduates can take on digital freelance work that’s been outsourced from overseas, allowing them to enter the job market.

The digitalization of developing countries is positive news for the global economy. It means businesses can call upon a wider pool of talented tech freelancers than ever before when they need a job done. And it’s quickly transforming the economic landscape of entire nations and the prospects of their citizens.

The digital revolution shows no signs of slowing down. HYVE is one of the best places to find the right freelancer that could fill your company’s digital skills gap, meaning that there is no longer a need for a candidate to be within a commutable radius. In fact, they do not need to be on the same continent, creating fresh career opportunities that did not exist previously.

Why does crypto solve some of the underlying issues?
Cryptocurrencies combat inflation
Most cryptocurrencies are designed to fight inflation, making capital owners preserve their assets in a transferable and safe form through their limited supply and burn mechanisms. However, the downward face of cryptocurrencies has turned in January this year, when the majority of people and entrepreneurs have refrained from buying or converting their funds because of their volatile tendency.

The prevailing belief is that the immense growth of inflation leads to individuals and businesses investing in gold, real estate, and other assets to protect themselves from future inflation. Over the last decade, the crypto world has shown that, like those assets, they play a key role during inflationary periods, especially in developing countries, where the volatility native to crypto assets is more bearable than the soaring inflation of weak currencies.

The substitute for traditional banks
Another reason is that cryptocurrency can become a bank for countries with little to no access to bank infrastructure giving access to payments and various financial services. They provide platforms akin to traditional banks, providing loans and paying interest to depositors. Furthermore, they offer incentives to provide liquidity in the crypto market through staking, a process of cryptocurrencies to receive rewards, and also lending services.

Fear no more of double-spending! Each token is cryptographically secured and unique, meaning it cannot be hacked or replicated. The crypto world is an algorithmic construct, as already mentioned, so transactions have to be validated by nodes spread out across the world to be comprised in its ledger. However, a single disagreement can make the transaction ineligible for future inclusions.

Transparency or privacy - whatever you desire
Unlike classic currency, which is backed by traditional authority, crypto is backed by a widely distributed network. Extreme poverty pushes people from various sectors to resort to corruption, but with the help of digitalization in the crypto world, all documents and archives can be transparent. However, if you want your purchases to be anonymous, crypto payments can do the job for you. The fact that anyone can look up your transaction data from your wallet address or how much you store in your wallet leaves no room for doubts about fraudulent transactions. However, you do not have to register for an account at some institution, meaning you can maintain a level of privacy.

The keyword of crypto transactions is that they are pseudonymous, which means that you can be identified on the blockchain, but that does not include any specific information about you. In these emerged nations, freelancers have a hard time receiving the payments, as we mentioned, especially if their country's subjected to sanctions. Furthermore, without intermediaries, consumers are able to take control over their finances and keep them private, considering that blockchains provide 24/7 access to any global user. The fact that some cryptocurrencies are highly transparent makes it easy for authorities to track criminal activity, meaning that there are fewer reasons to worry compared to corrupt institutions.

Why you need to give HYVE a go
There are various reasons for choosing to freelance, some saying it is the most rewarding type of work you can perform. Besides the fact that you manage your own time, you can work from anywhere, in a cost-efficient manner.

Being a cross-chain platform, HYVE is the home of synergetic environments, hosting both freelance professionals and blockchain enthusiasts. HYVE is also the largest web3 freelancing marketplace where freelancers have the chance to be fairly rewarded for their work and collect their reward in a wide variety of cryptocurrencies, whether it is one-time or repeated jobs.

All you need to do is access our platform, create an account, fill in your best skills and start your freelancing journey on HYVE! Also, you can join us by signing up with an account of your choice like Facebook or Google, without requiring a complicated process. We are always looking to improve our platform, so if you believe we should add more features do give us a heads up on all our social media channels!

How’s life working for a blockchain startup

HYVE — Tue, 21 Feb 2023 09:48:07 +0000

Previosuly, we released an article stating the benefits and challenges of working in a crypto start-up. Today we decided to expand the topic and detail the experience of working in a fast-paced, engaging environment, namely Below, we are going to dive down into how is life working in a Crypto start-up. Before that, it's worth establishing from the beginning a short definition of a Crypto start-up.

What is a Crypto start-up?

People usually refer to a newly formed company as a start-up, which usually has positive momentum in growth, based on the usability and demand of the product it offers. In the Crypto world, things are, at their base, no different. A Crypto startup is a company built on the blockchain which offers core products, based on blockchain technology. These core products can range from decentralized alternatives to traditional finance, market places where users can exchange digital assets as well as play2earn videogames.

Nevertheless, the entrepreneurial environment is a lot harsher in the blockchain space, due to the** increased competition and the decentralized nature of the industry. On the other hand, collaboration is a lot tighter within the crypto space, since entrepreneurs have a common goal in mind: **mainstream adoption of their projects.

What to expect when working in a crypto start-up?
We can refer to the first aspect of schedule flexibility. It is most likely that the standard 9 to 5 office schedule won't apply to you most of the time and that will help you reach a better life-work balance. However, there is a hidden side of the coin. As for a consultancy company, for example, there will be periods of low activity and periods of peak activity in which you should expect tight deadlines or heavy work for a sustained period of time. So, the periods with high schedule flexibility may only be the calm before the storm. That being said, you should be prepared for periods of extended work outside of the normal working hours. This is commonplace in every start-up, but more so in blockchain, where things are changing rapidly at a massive

Moving onto the technical side of a Crypto start-up, it is fair to say that you will have the possibility to **explore capabilities and innovate where possible. **You will likely be expected to take the initiative and go above and beyond in trying to find that niche product that can boost the start-up you're working for. There are a lot of new exciting Crypto projects that promise to bring the ability for you to achieve new peaks in your business or provide new utility from the start. Thus, the chances are that if you work for a Crypto start-up, you will likely be involved in developing a product or a feature that can disrupt the way we look at the internet today.

That leads us to discuss the uncertain and volatile nature of the Crypto world. Naturally, this would be felt in your day-by-day work in a Crypto start-up. As there are no general instructions manual for how a start-up should develop, you should be aware that you will be looking to solve many unknowns and there is thin ice between making it right or failing. On top of that, you will be likely looking at combining the technology assets that you want to create in Blockchain with the financial aspects of your project.

This can prove to be tricky, as you will constantly need to check your work against budget, profit margin, and different regulations, depending on the region or market that you want to break in.

As a rule of thumb, the more worldwide you will aim to go, the more difficult it will be to match the technology and financial aspects of your projects.

Don't forget to enjoy it!

Looking at the previous points, there is one ability that stands out for you to succeed in a Crypto start-up and that is the ability to adapt. There are many unknowns and points in which you will have to rely on your pure instinct to make the best choice going forward. Last but not least, working in a Crypto start-up should be exciting and fun. Even when the situations are rough, you should never forget to enjoy the journey you embarked on and make the most of the experiences you are facing and the people you are meeting. The Crypto market is the fastest growing sector at the moment and for sure, you will feel this in a Crypto start-up. For this reason, working in such a company may be the most complete professional experience, you might ever have.

How’s life at HYVE?

You might have noticed our increasing presence on social media, with regular posts on TikTok and Instagram. We at HYVE like to give out sneak peeks of our daily activity, courtesy of our marketing department. In spite of the joking and fun atmosphere, there are lots of periods of intense work, especially before product launches - we currently have something under wraps which involves many of our departments, namely Graphic Design, Marketing, and Development. However, these intense periods bring us closer together and create lasting personal and professional bonds.

A good example of a concerted and constant effort has been the rebranding process undertaken this year. Starting from the website redesign and moving onto the platform upgrade, we have been constantly upgrading user experience, with our departments closely coordinating with one another to deliver everything on time. Nevertheless, there is lots of outside coordination to be performed, with many external partners involved in our launches and promotion.

Working at HYVE requires you to be a very adaptable individual and most importantly, to be willing to always learn new skills. We like to pride ourselves in our open and fostering culture, based on the relationships built in person due to our in-person policy, but some companies prefer remote work. If you would be interested in trying out a job within a crypto start-up, you should explore the listings on our platform. Lately, many companies have posted job listings, with the latest being SKChain, a leading blockchain advisory firm - make sure you regularly check out our platform for any openings!

Straight out of uni? Look for a job in crypto!

HYVE — Tue, 02 Aug 2022 08:01:46 +0000

Here’s the situation…

You’re at university, just finished with exams, coursework, dissertations, and all that fuss. It's summer break, so it's too soon to study for the next semester but you have a lot of free time. Or maybe you’ve just graduated and haven’t made serious plans. You can’t commit to a full-time job, as you still want to go on a holiday or two, but the financial hardship faced by students is still very real. Here’s the perfect solution: crypto and freelancing or better yet crypto freelancing on HYVE.

The World Economic Forum estimates that since last year there’s been a 200% growth in the crypto and blockchain sector. This rapid and immense growth testifies to the fact that crypto and blockchain firms are now in desperate need of smart, hardworking university students for a wide variety of roles.

If you’re straight out of university and haven’t quite decided on the next steps for your future, then crypto might be the salvation. As an intermediary source of income while you're figuring things out or as a long-term plan that could help you grow your career.

All the reasons why crypto freelancing is perfect for students

Firstly, it offers remote and flexible working. You can choose where you work and when. It could be the beach or it could be your parent's house. You can start your day when it suits you (we know students love their sleep), and take on no more or no less work than you choose. If you freelance you choose how much your time and effort are worth. It's ideal for carrying on with your studies or for devoting all your time to.

Secondly, crypto has above-average salaries. You have complete control over how much you charge and how you get paid with multiple tokens available as options on HYVE. On top of this, you get to make the most of your profits without having to pay immense fees towards the platform. At HYVE there are unmatched micro fees starting at 0.9% and up to 7.9% with the opportunity of a 50% discount if you pay the fee in $HYVE.

Thirdly, it's super quick and simple. Ever found the perfect internship or job but they wouldn’t accept you because you lacked experience? Without any job applications, CVs, cover letters, and interviews, you can build a successful reputation on HYVE, by offering your own services on your terms. HYVE knows that no student has the patience to repeatedly apply and wait months for generic feedback from minimum wage jobs so it’s cut to the chase, removing any intermediaries.

Lastly, there are some serious long-term career opportunities. It’s a fact that everyone will soon break into crypto in order to keep a competitive advantage, some will be slow to convert whilst others are already rushing to grab the best spots. Nonetheless, there won’t be an industry left untouched by the benefits of blockchain technology - oil and gas, retail, banks, law, agriculture and so many more. Startups are already heading the game when it comes to crypto, tech firms follow close behind and governments aren’t far off either with many seeking experienced advisors to guide them in these uncharted waters.

So if you’re worried that you might be wasting your precious time worrying about crypto instead of partying with your college flat mates, then worry no more because it really is the future. In the future, the requirements for crypto experts will be exponentially greater, and getting a head start in the crypto world will definitely pay off.

Now, if you’re thinking, why would they hire me? The answer is simple.

University students happen to already possess many of the desired traits that are needed for working crypto. University students retain academic integrity, hard work ethic, intelligence, openness, and awareness of the changing world - they're probably some of the best suited for working in crypto, with fresh perspectives and innovative ideas.

A common misconception is that the only available jobs in crypto are for programmers, AI builders, or software engineers. But this couldn’t be further from the truth…There are thousands of new crypto jobs daily for content creators, product managers, marketing reps, and NFT designers to name a few. Therefore, the skills you learn at university are easily transferable to crypto.

For example you’ve recently done a law degree? Perfect, why not go into the legal sector of crypto. Those who specialize in this right now can reach the top of their game in a significantly shorter period of time than in conventional law firms.

For students with extensive experience writing essays, research papers, and dissertations, being a content writer for blockchain is a piece of cake. Talking about cake, by freelancing you can have your cake and eat it too as HYVE offers independence, freedom, and control over your work.

Not much of a fan of writing? Not to worry, your skill in math, languages, design, programming, and management are needed as well. Endless opportunities await you in crypto. University students with experience or qualifications in seemingly every specialty are needed. We can guarantee that employers are anxious to make use of whatever brilliant skills you possess.

It is not the end of the world if you're not an expert on blockchain or fully understand all its inner workings, we still believe that university students are the way forward to meeting demand, and as they say - you learn best by practicing!

Convinced about students in crypto?

University students and crypto is an unexpected collaboration where both sides win. As mentioned above, the endless opportunities already available are just a fraction of what is to come in crypto. It’s the next logical step for evolving the workspace. The pandemic has certainly sped things up with 2021 being the breakout year for crypto.

If you’re not yet convinced then have a look on HYVE for current jobs posted by various projects and get a better idea of whether it's the right path for you and exactly what crypto can offer. We will be soon having a campaign that will concern university students so make sure you keep an eye out for all our announcements.

Thought about working in a crypto startup?

HYVE — Thu, 28 Jul 2022 09:03:08 +0000

Read the blog here!

It is safe to say that the Crypto industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the technology area, with an even higher potential for new peaks and scaling up of key programs that bring utility to real life. That being said, it is expected that more and more skilled individuals are willing to join this roller-coaster adventure that is the Crypto market.

For many of you, it would make perfect sense to start this journey with a start-up company, especially in the blockchain sector. This way, you will get the feeling of belonging to a highly motivated team and you will be able to directly see your contribution to the company's performance.

What is a Crypto start-up?

People usually refer to a newly formed company as a start-up, which usually has positive momentum in growth, based on the utility and demand of the product it offers. In the Crypto world, things are, at their base, no different. A Crypto startup is a company built that offers core products, based on blockchain technology. These core products can range from decentralized alternatives, traditional finance, and marketplaces where users can exchange digital assets, to gaming projects or even move-to-earn apps. If you are looking to start your career in Crypto, here are a few points on the benefits and challenges of working in a Crypto start-up.

Benefits of working for a Crypto start-up

Starting with the good bits first, engaging with a Crypto start-up will open the door to networking with other highly motivated professionals from the industry. You will, more than sure, have the opportunity to attend events and join communities from which you can gain valuable information and upskilling tips.

Building up on that, you will be learning a lot while on this journey. The Crypto start-up you will be working for will probably look into going into uncharted territory. This means you will have to learn as you go however, the very nature of a start-up company attracts highly skilled, highly creative individuals. This is good news since you will have an amazing team of colleagues from whom you can learn a lot by observing their practices and mindsets. One amazing aspect of a crypto start-up is that it brings together people from both the finance sector and the technology sector - that means double the knowledge for you!

As the crypto universe is widespread around the world, it means that anyone with an internet connection can access it. As Crypto start-ups are looking ahead to progress and innovate, this guarantees that the team you will be part of will embrace diversity and will actively look for ways to not only decentralize financial markets but also decentralize people’s access to wealth.

Last but not least, life and work balance is as important as being happy while doing your job. And you can be sure that the perfect place to find this care for your wellbeing is in a Crypto start-up. This relates to the advantages of Crypto as a whole, namely that you can be anywhere on the planet and do the same job as someone sitting at a desk in a fancy office in the middle of a financial center, like London’s Canary Wharf. That being said, working for a Crypto start-up will increase your chances of having schedule flexibility.

Challenges of working for a Crypto start-up

Now looking on the other side of the fence, any great duty not only comes with rewards but with challenges and responsibilities. And working in a Crypto start-up makes no exception. Looking back at the benefits of working for a Crypto start-up, we mentioned that you will learn a lot as you progress through the development of projects or products.

However, one challenge you will encounter will be the increased amount of time you will need to research and find the resources that will help develop both yourself and the company. As can be expected, in a Crypto start-up, there is no clear path to success, and most probably there is no corporate training department to tell you that. Nevertheless, that makes the experience very transformative, enabling you with growth opportunities.

Coupled with this, the dynamic working environment that is usually seen in a start-up will likely come with increased responsibilities. For some, it can stressful. For others, it can be the opportunity they’ve been waiting for to prove themselves and it is essential to spot this gap and embrace it.

One particular challenge in the Crypto world is represented by the very nature of Crypto, which is volatility. When working in a Crypto start-up, it is essential to know that bear markets are a phase of the financial cycle, just as the bull market is. Thus, you need to be aware of the insecurity of the market and be ready to come up with projects and products that counter-attack it!

Let's START things up!

To conclude, it is needless to say that working in a Crypto start-up is an exciting opportunity to gain crucial knowledge that will boost your capabilities in this industry. It is a proven fact that many professionals can boost their careers by having exposure to the nitty gritty of upscaling the potential of a company and its product.

HYVE can provide the environment just for such a thing to happen, by revolutionizing the freelancing industry through decentralized work environments and the removal of any intermediary. As you might have noticed, many partner projects have decided to post job listings on HYVE, including Pundi X, NFTrade, Resource, and many others. If you feel crypto startups are your next career adventure, look no further and take a look at our platform - many opportunities await you!

Expanding task cards on viewports and creating new zoom options,
Creating an onboarding component to facilitate the process of companies hiring on HYVE,

HYVE: Twitter Space - AMA session summary

HYVE — Wed, 06 Jul 2022 11:59:53 +0000

Following our most recent AMA session, we’ve decided to compile some of the most important topics and questions from our users. We are always trying to have a great relationship with HYVERS, our community, and help potential users better understand our project. Our CEO, Tudor Stomff, is always eager to answer your questions regarding HYVE.

Our AMA began with a summary statement of the recent changes from Tudor.
‘With the help of data, analytics, and user feedback collected over the past 7 months we’ve been able to identify the weak points and redesign the whole platform to include the following:

The possibility of using the HYVE app on any device ranging from mobile, tablet, laptop, desktop, and any other screen - as well as any resolution such as 4K (which used to be problematic)
For an improved user experience, for example, when you first log in, a short tutorial will be walking you through all of the options offered. The tutorial takes into account heat maps of clicks on HYVE and which features people had difficulties accessing, to better aid users from now on.
Our first referral system was devised, where there are continuous rewards not just for the initial invite but every time the new user takes a specific action such as applying for a job or task or even simply completing their profile. This also brings value to the ecosystem through the incentive of getting people to actively use the platform.
There are many more new features and improvements which you can read about in our article about HYVE 2.0, and of course, many other features are currently under wraps, so keep an eye out for announcements. We’ve already added over 10 different tokens as accepted payment methods on HYVE during the past couple of weeks, and we look forward to update that list constantly. This will help bring more users and freelancers to the platform and get more companies to hire people using HYVE, as we’ve noticed recently.

Another option that we’ve been considering is opening up to more local communities as we’ve had volunteers willing to do this, as well as a long-term ambassador program that rewards the community for promoting HYVE through various channels, which will be detailed at a later date.

Now let's have a look at the essential questions and answers that came up during the AMA…
Q: Previously, when you created an account you would be asked to fill out your ETH or other blockchain address to receive payment but now if you sign up automatically with your google account where do you receive the payment? How does the payment work if you don’t fill in the blockchain address at the start?

A: Firstly, the original login method using MetaMask is still available as an option. As for how to receive a payment if you have logged in using Gmail, Facebook, WeChat, etc, there are different options that you can choose to automatically generate a blockchain address where you automatically receive payment when you participate in a task. The wallet generated is non-custodial meaning that HYVE does not have access to it, instead, we use a leading provider for this. We’ve done this to make it more accessible to non-crypto natives who do not have any blockchain knowledge or a MetaMask account. We will continue to add different login options for HYVE to make it more accessible to people.

Q: Can you describe how HYVE has a competitive edge in comparison to other centralized platforms such as Fiverr or Upwork which have been around for a longer time?

A: There are many differences between HYVE and centralized platforms, therefore we will start at the beginning.
Firstly, the fees differ a lot, most centralized companies have a fee that ranges anywhere between 10% to 25% which is quite a lot and insane when you come to think of it. Contrastingly, the lowest fee at HYVE is 1%, which is worlds apart from the normal average. Besides this, the most important mechanism that cannot exist in a centralized company and that HYVE has is the ability to escrow the payment, which means that both the employee and the employer are protected. The reason for this is that once the employer puts the money into escrow, if the employee does not complete the task as required then a dispute can be raised and the money returned to the employer, likewise, if the employee does the task to the standard required but the employer tries to go back on his word, it won’t be possible because there is already proof on the chain that the employee has fulfilled his task successfully.

Q: Is the HYVE website ready for more marketing?

A: More marketing has already begun on the website, we’ve been having discussions with a lot of companies, adding their tokens as accepted payment methods, getting them to hire through HYVE, trying to attract more users, considering opening local communities, etc. We hope that users will use the referral system that we have implemented to increase the number of users as well.
At the moment we are focusing on accumulating new users, new clients, and integrating new currencies, as well as new blockchains. Due to the fact that V2 has just gone live, we’re going to continue adding new features and improving it for now. We will not start working on a V3 at HYVE for at least another 12 months, as there are still many opportunities for V2. When the time comes that all options have been saturated for V2 then we will move to V3.

We hope that these answers help you better understand HYVE 2.0 and the future direction that HYVE is headed. We are looking forward to the next AMA session with our community, where we will be detailing more about our referral program, Ambassador program as well as future development in digital art!

New Token Integration: Pay now in $KCS on HYVE

HYVE — Fri, 24 Jun 2022 14:22:43 +0000

You can find the article here.

It’s not long since we launched the new version of HYVE freelancing platform, after a continuous period of improvement and rebranding. Now, we develop a whole new UX/UI interface and an app that brings together more new features, such as full functionality on mobile and tablet devices, login option through social media accounts, and bypassing the Metamask wallet registration.

In addition, we have now added job categories, making it easier for clients and freelancers to browse through listings, drastically reducing browsing times and creating efficiencies in the entire process. We have been working on integrating various payment options on HYVE, as a continuous quest to create a wide variety of tokens, permitting freelancers and clients to have full control over payment methods. Moreover, regardless of the initial token the listing was posted in, we have now added the total sum in USD converted underneath, so there is easy traceability for freelancers who are unfamiliar with changing token prices.

Despite the fact that we are continuously building over the entire infrastructure of HYVE, today we are excited to announce that $KCS, short for KuCoin Token, has become a payment option on the HYVE platform. HYVE has been listed on KuCoin for more than a year already and as a celebration of this ongoing collaboration, we are lifting our partnership, by adding $KCS as a payment method on HYVE.

About KuCoin and the $KCS token

KuCoin is a global cryptocurrency exchange for numerous digital assets and cryptocurrencies. Launched in September 2017, KuCoin has grown into one of the most popular crypto exchanges and already has over 18 million registered users across 207 countries and regions around the world.

Known as the “People’s Exchange”, KuCoin provides users with 24/7 multi-language customer service. Meanwhile, KuCoin has established 20+ local communities in Europe, SEA, and other regions, providing users with highly localized services. As the home of crypto gems, KuCoin has supported over 700 projects with about 1200 pairs.

In 2022, KuCoin raised over $150 million in investments through a pre-Series B round, bringing total investments to $170 million with Round A combined, at a total valuation of $10 billion. KuCoin is currently one of the top 5 crypto exchanges according to CoinMarketCap. Forbes also named KuCoin one of the Best Crypto Exchanges in 2021. In 2022, The Ascent named KuCoin the Best Crypto App for enthusiasts.

$KCS, the native token of KuCoin exchange, was built on the Ethereum blockchain, which is also the chain of our integration, so make sure you add the contract address in your metamask wallet:

ETH: 0xf34960d9d60be18cC1D5Afc1A6F012A723a28811

What to expect from HYVE:

We are tirelessly working towards developing our ecosystem and bringing more utility to our users, and this is only the beginning of a new era for us. As we have already accustomed you, we will be working on further token integrations, $KCS being only the first one after the launch of the second version of the platform, which cannot be possible without adding new blockchains. So stay tuned and follow our upcoming news and AMAs, as you might catch some insights from what we have in store.

Subsequently, we are as well working on onboarding people and companies on the platform, as well as on matching companies looking to hire talented and skillful individuals with the right freelancers, enabling users to find the perfect opportunities on HYVE. We expect more available blockchains on HYVE in the upcoming future. Also, do not forget that we will soon release a surprise, related to digital art, enabling HYVE to venture out further into the crypto and blockchain space!

It’s finally time for HYVE App 2.0

HYVE — Wed, 15 Jun 2022 07:26:13 +0000

The long wait is finally over - we are excited to announce that the new HYVE platform is live! Following continuous improvement and rebranding, HYVE has reshuffled its ecosystem to create a better and more intuitive experience for freelancers and companies alike, willing to earn crypto for their services. Our website redesign started in late January, lasting for almost two months. Moreover, during this time, we revealed our most recent product, the HYVE Bazaar, which will act as a marketplace for creatives, empowering them to earn crypto.
Now, after 6 months of hard work, we are ready to reveal our improved platform, which brings some groundbreaking features for freelancers and a smooth UX/UI, welcoming even crypto-inexperienced freelancers. You might have noticed that partnerships this year have all been geared towards developing the necessary infrastructure for the platform rollout, such as blockchain integrations and token additions. Further below, we will be giving you a detailed platform overview.

Development updates

It’s been a while since our fourth development update. Still, it was all for good reason since our dev team has been tirelessly working on delivering a complex and complete platform that ensures a seamless user transition. Not only does the new design provide a more intuitive experience, but now we have a functional mobile and tablet platform, which allows for constant collaboration, regardless of device, providing display resolution up to 4k. As mentioned in earlier articles, we are working towards implementing a new login option through social media accounts, bypassing the metamask wallet registration. This permits freelancers without prior crypto experience to quickly sign-up on HYVE and start working directly. In addition, we have now added job categories, making it easier for clients and freelancers to browse through listings. This drastically reduces browsing times and creates efficiencies in the entire process.

Moreover, regardless of the token the listing was posted in, we have added the total sum in USD converted underneath, so there is easy traceability for freelancers who are unfamiliar with changing token prices. We have also enhanced the profile subsection, with users now able to browse personalized Dashboards, previous work (My Work), and a My Profile page. In addition, we have expanded task cards on viewports and created new zoom options. To facilitate companies hiring on HYVE, we have created an onboarding component to aid in the process. Lastly, we have fixed several bugs and tried improving the website's overall performance. Consequently, we will update the tutorials on our website to reflect the platform's new design.

Diversifying payment options and other integrations

To reach the complete diversification of our payment options and with the pure aim of providing you with only the most optimal methods for payment of tasks, jobs, and offers on the HYVE platform, we have been relentlessly integrating new tokens on the ETH and BSC networks mostly, the first of which was $RADAR, back in March. You might remember that earlier this year, we implemented the RadarBridge, allowing users to interchange their $HYVE tokens between the ETH and BSC blockchains, with Polygon and Fantom to be implemented soon.

Since then, we have integrated a total of 11 tokens, as well as 2 blockchains: Fantom ($FTM) and Polygon ($MATIC), with their respective tokens, with users able to maximize earnings for completing tasks, jobs, and offers on our freelancing platform, as well as by staking $HYVE for reduced gas fees.

$RADAR integration was shortly followed by $UNIQ, which aims to bridge the digital world of NFTs and the mainstream physical market by creating a complex ecosystem. Afterward, we integrated $ALPACA, which empowers its tokenholders through direct and indirect rewards.

Following that, we had the $NFTD token, the centerpiece of the NFTrade ecosystem. Subsequently, HYVE had its first dual token integration: $FRM and $FRMx, both providing access to pre-sales of promising projects incubated through Ferrum Ventures and Ferrum Advisory Service. More recently, we have integrated $SOURCE, which has three primary purposes: Fuel, Underwriting, and Governance, for theReSource protocol, and most notably, another dual integration: $PUNDIX & $FX, which have the shared goal of enabling “crypto for the masses,” making it as simple as buying a bottle of water, a goal that HYVE has also set.

The complete list of our integrated tokens can be found below in chronological order :

$RADAR
$MATIC
$UNIQ
$ALPACA
$FTM
$NFTD
$FRM & $FRM
$SOURCE
$PUNDIX & $FX

The list above is merely a glimpse at what is to come - the foundation brings us one step closer to further adoption and to HYVE being the universal platform for freelancers. Each token has brought new valuable benefits, additional exposure, and the prospect of multi-platform functionalities. By focusing on integrating multiple payment options, we provide freelancers with further freedom over instant payment options and facilitate the discovery of different communities and projects while creating partnership potential.

Onboarding companies

While integrating different tokens, numerous projects have realized the utility of the HYVE platform, with their hiring process being performed extensively on HYVE. The earliest were our friends from RADAR, who have posted a listing for a Content Writer. In addition, Ferrum and ReSource are also looking for more technical positions to be fulfilled full-time. Even Mistery of Crypto, the world-renown blockchain influencer and trendsetter, has used the HYVE freelancing platform to expand its team and hire a Marketing Manager/Relationship Manager to build and maintain partnerships.

With our platform launch, we have a surprise in stock from our long-time partner PundiX, who will be integrating $HYVE on their native XPOS system. Thus, we advise all freelancers interested in developing a career in blockchain or want to try something different to stay alert during the next few days by checking out for any announcements - we promise it will be quite exciting!

Already posted jobs

With the new platform launch, we will have jobs listed from the following partners, so make sure that you apply if you are interested in working in a highly competitive environment:

PundiX and Function X - currently, 10 jobs and 3 tasks open on HYVE at one of the most exciting payment companies Web3
ReSource - 3 jobs are available on HYVE, at one of the most exciting blockchain protocols backed by trade and real-life assets
Ferrum - one software engineer job on HYVE for the project aiming to bring Interoperability 2.0
NFTrade - one job live on HYVE at one of the projects finding new applicability for NFTs
YourJustice - 2 positions are open on HYVE at a Web3 project ready to bring the legal field to Web3
Many more will follow in the coming days, with HYVE quickly becoming the go-to web3 freelancing platform and the most diverse blockchain jobs directory. Make sure you always keep an eye out for some more updates!

Referral system

As part of the extended-release, we will be bringing out additional features on the HYVE 2.o platform within the next couple of months. One of these features, which will be live from day 1 of the launch, is a referral system, which will be a major growth catalyst for our userbase. Referrals can be performed either through mail or link, as well as Twitter and LinkedIn. There is an unlimited number of invites users can send, which can also be monitored through an invites list. Users will be rewarded with $HYVE and can withdraw the rewards in any wallet of choice, but only once they have reached 500 $HYVE.

So how can you benefit from the rewards of the referral system? You will be paid in $HYVE for the following actions one of your invited users performs:

Creation of a new account: 1 $HYVE
Completion of profile details: 1 $HYVE
First listing of a user: 1 $HYVE
First application for a task or job: 1 $HYVE
First order on HYVE: 1 $HYVE
First accepted application on HYVE: 2 $HYVE

Future plans

HYVE is always working towards developing its ecosystem and bringing more utility to its users. As we have already accustomed you, we will be working on further token integrations, which cannot be possible without adding new blockchains. Subsequently, we are also working on matching companies looking to hire talented and skillful individuals with the right freelancers, enabling users to find the perfect opportunities on HYVE. Most notably, by the end of June, we want to launch something more compelling within our ecosystem, yet we can’t give out more details for now. What we can hint is that this is a widely-spoken subject within the crypto world, which HYVE is ready to tackle!
