If you’ve been in this chain for years, you and I both know that this platform has what it takes to go mainstream. Maybe not in its current form, but the fundamentals are the main reason I believe it has a bright future.

Sounds like a big claim? Well, think about it. By the time I post this blog, I can confidently say that I truly own this content, as it becomes part of the blockchain the moment I click the "Publish" button.
True ownership is one of the biggest benefits users gain from this platform. Speaking of benefits, consider the payout in the form of Hive tokens. Seven days after your blog is posted, those tokens become truly yours—untouchable and secure. That’s something even mainstream social media platforms can’t promise, where demonetization is often part of the culture.
And since we're on the topic of rewards, this platform offers multiple layers of them. For example, if you post in specific communities or use certain tags, you can earn additional tokens from those communities. A great example is inLeo (Leo Finance), where you earn extra rewards on top of your Hive payouts.
Another great case is when you post and engage in Snaps or Waves, Hive’s short-form blogging features. These have integrated the Comment Rewarder app, which distributes additional liquid rewards to users who actively engage with others in those spaces.
Thanks to the platform’s fast and feeless transactions, exciting projects are seizing the opportunity to build here. Projects like Splinterlands, Arcade Colony games, inLeo, Ecency, and many others have found a home on this chain. Hive is a perfect fit for them, offering speed and efficiency unmatched by many other blockchains out there.
Then Why Haven’t We Reached the Mainstream Level Yet?
Although the fundamentals of this chain are far superior to most blockchain projects out there, there are still areas that need improvement in order to attract new users and encourage them to stay.
The first thing I want to highlight is the need for a better UI and UX. If that statement surprises you, it probably means you’ve already become accustomed to the current interface and user experience of the platform. However, one area that still poses a significant challenge is the onboarding process.
Since Hive is a blockchain platform, new users are required to manage their own keys, specifically four different keys that need to be stored securely.
This kind of onboarding can be overwhelming, especially for users who have little to no background in crypto or blockchain technology. I believe the core developers are already working on a solution to address this issue. If they succeed, we may start to see more users joining the platform with greater ease.
Hive has the potential to become a leading platform in the decentralized space, thanks to its strong fundamentals and dedicated community. While there are still challenges to overcome, ongoing improvements are paving the way for greater adoption. The future looks promising... and now is a great time to be part of it.
