Waivio now supports Link objects—decentralized “about” pages for any website or URL. Think of these as dedicated profiles where you can add a description, show community feedback, and even track safety ratings.
How Link Objects Work
A Link object can be created just like any other Waivio object:
Start writing a new post.
In the right column, under Create new object, select Link.
Provide a name for the Link object.
The first field you’ll add is the URL itself. It can be an exact match, or you can use a wildcard (*) at the end to cover all sub-pages (e.g., https://www.youtube.com/*).
Website Profile
Add essential details such as a title, description, tags, and images to give others a quick overview of the site or page.
Scan Hive for Mentions
Waivio automatically gathers all Hive posts that reference the URL. This means you can view the entire history of community discussion about the site in one place.
Easily Create with the Waivio Chrome Extension
We’ve updated the Waivio Chrome Extension so you can instantly create Link objects from your browser. If you’re on any webpage you’d like to feature or review, just click the extension and publish on Hive—no extra steps required!
“Hearting” Link Objects
When viewing a Link object, users can click the heart icon to add it to their Favorites in their public profiles.
Future Potential: Decentralized Voting & Site Safety
One of the most exciting possibilities is a community-driven safety system:
Decentralized Voting: Users can rate sites based on usefulness or safety, helping the community gauge trustworthiness.
Warnings for Unsafe Sites: If many users flag a link as malicious or spammy, future Hive apps could display an alert before anyone clicks.
This approach reflects the decentralized ethos of the Hive blockchain: no single authority decides what’s “safe.” Instead, the community collaboratively shapes the reputation of each site.
