We're excited to announce the launch of a new Hive onboarding app called Check in With — a fast and human-centered way to bring new people to Hive using real rewards and no KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements.
What Is It?
Check in With is a Proof of Person onboarding system where Trusted Onboarders verify real people with a simple selfie. Once approved, each new user instantly receives:
2 HBD to their Hive wallet
~$1 USD in BTC (sats) to their V4V.app account
From there, users begin the #JourneyofaHivean — a series of educational tasks that help them learn and engage with Hive. Each task is completed through a blog post and earns support from major Hive stakeholders.
Educational Tasks
Here is the first set of tasks:
- Try it Out
- Introduce Yourself
- Master Your Wallet
- Master Video on Hive
- Master Spending Your HIVE
- Play Games on Hive
- Account Creation and Onboarding
- Owning / Creating a Community
See here for more tasks where you can earn
Exceptional participants may also receive Hive Power delegations to encourage deeper engagement and growth.
How It Works
Video on How to use the new CheckInWith App
Find someone who wants free crypto
Ask: "Would you like to earn stablecoins (HBD) or Bitcoin (sats)?"
2. Help them install the Hive Keychain app
The app works exclusively inside the Keychain app's internal browser under the "Social" section — look for CheckinWith.
3. Create their Hive account
We recommend that you use Hive Keychain and the "onboard with a friend" method. You'll need:
3 liquid HIVE (or an Account Creation Token)
15 HP (or sufficient RCs) to delegate so they can post
4. Go to the internal browser inside of Hive Keychain and go to "Checkinwith.xyz in the Social part of the browser and take a selfie with them
The user's face doesn't have to be fully visible, but the photo must show a real person
Include a short intro: name, city, and interests
The post will be auto-tagged with
#introduceyourselfand#checkin
5. Approve the check-in
Reply to the introduction post. This step is required for the system to trigger the rewards.
Alternatively, if the Trusted on-boarder (see initial list below) is logged into checkinwith.xyz you can go to the burger menu and click on "Pending Approvals" where you can hit a button and send a standardized comment to the new user which is customisable
6. The system does the rest
A comment from @threespeakselfie will appear with additional task instructions where the user can earn for learning about how to use Hive dapps
Each completed task earns upvotes and exposure
The user receives 2 HBD and 1 USD of BTC Lightning Sats shortly afterward the approval comment is made
7. Outstanding users may receive Hive Power delegations
This helps them stay active and grow within the ecosystem. We hope that this increases user retention and call for other whales to support this system with upvotes on the #checkin tag and on the pioneer supporter feed below:
All new users are visible on the @pioneersupporter feed, so the community can follow their journey and offer support.
