Welcome everyone to the world of Hivelist, where e-commerce, social media, and cryptocurrency come together to create something truly unique. Whether you're a Hive user that has been around for a while, or you are just stepping into the crypto space, Hivelist has something exciting to offer you. In this article, we are going to get into what makes this platform a standout in the world of blockchain-powered e-commerce and how you are probably not using it to be fullest.
What is Hivelist.io?
Hivelist.io is a Hiver's go-to spot for all things e-commerce on the Hive blockchain. It’s a place where you can buy, sell, and connect—all powered by cryptocurrency. At its heart, Hivelist is all about giving the Hive and crypto communities the tools they need to do business easily and securely. If you're into the idea of crypto-powered commerce, this is the platform for you. We have been apart of the Hive blockchain since May of 2020, so we have been around for a bit. One problem with the crypto space is that people like to overlook real solid use cases, like e-commerce to favor things like silly memecoins. So needless to say, we have had our ups and downs, but we are still here and hoping to make 2025 our best year yet!
The Features That Make Hivelist Awesome
Classifieds on the Blockchain
The Hivelist Classifieds network is the heart of our ecosystem. Need to post an ad? Hivelist’s blockchain-based classifieds let you list items, promote services, or even announce contests. Users can also let the community know if they are looking for something in particular, like and item or service. All it takes is using the right tags to get your post to the right place and earn some crypto for simply using the platform!
Thanks to blockchain tech, every listing is secure and transparent—trust is baked right in. With Hive, users have a reputation they are trying to build, and you can leverage that to know if the person you are dealing with is a good player or not. Not only that, but you can earn a mix of Hive, HBD, and our native LIST token for posting and interacting with others on our network. So it pays to use our classifieds network!
The Hivelist Store
One of the coolest features of our platform is the Hivelist Store. Here, you can shop for real-world items as well as digital downloads like e-courses, templates, and other digital files. Whether you're looking for something physical or virtual, the store makes it easy to find and purchase what you need—all powered by crypto. We are working hard at making new designs for products and sourcing items that we can sell on the store. We will make posts on our account when new items are added!
We do not accept fiat payments, only crypto! We currently accept payments in several different currencies like HBD, XMR, BTC, BCH, ETH, BNB, POL, and SOL, as well as USDT, USDC, and DAI on those networks. These blockchains and coins allow us to accept payments directly to our wallet and not have to go through some custodial payment solution.
*** PLEASE NOTE: HBD Payments are kind of a manual process for now. After checkout, you will get an order confirmation with an order id number. We ask that you use that order ID as your memo and send the order total to our wallet @hivelist . Then we ask that you give us at least 24 hours to verify the payment and then the order will be completed.
NFT Marketplace
Love digital collectibles? Hivelist’s NFT marketplace is the place for you. Mint, buy, or sell NFTs and connect directly with other creators and collectors. It’s a fun and creative way to engage with the growing world of digital art and collectibles. Our NFT Marketplace is powered by our native LIST token. You will need to stake some LIST as well as have some for a sign up fee and to mint NFTs! These LIST tokens are burned from the supply!
DEFI Pools, Staking, and Earning
Want to earn some extra tokens? Simply provide some liquidity to our LIST/SWAP.HIVE diesel pool on Tribaldex, or on Hivelist.org/pool and start earning a mix of tokens like our HiveCommerce (COM) token, our Hivelist (LIST) tokens, as well as other random Hive-Engine tokens for you to add to your bags!
By staking the LIST token, you earn staking rewards from the daily rewards pool that is split 90% to proof of brain rewards (author and curation rewards) and 10% to LIST token stakers. So the more LIST you stake, the more LIST you earn!
Our HiveCommerce token (COM) is a token with a much more limited supply than the LIST token and is earned though a couple of different ways. The benefit of the COM token is that when you stake it, you earn a portion of our monthly SWAP.HIVE airdrop. So the more COM you stake, the more of that pool you earn on a monthly basis. Look at is as sort of a dividend.
You can earn COM tokens by delegating Hive Power to the @hivelist account which helps us provide more voting power and resource credits for the community. You can also earn COM tokens by providing liquidity to the LIST/SWAP.HIVE pool as we discussed before. We are also getting ready to hire some help with community posting and curation and the payments will be paid out in fresh minted COM tokens every month as well as some LIST tokens to use in the ecosystem.
Community Hub
Hivelist isn’t just about buying and selling—it’s about growing a thriving community. Join forums, take part in contests, and connect with other users. Plus, as you participate, you can earn LIST tokens. It’s like getting rewarded for being part of the action. We are also about to become more active on the InLeo platform as we have been impressed with their Threads activity and want to use it as a way to bridge our ecosystems.
