HiveInvite

Create and distribute personalized Hive invites. Onboard anyone to Hive and HBD savings — even in regions where crypto infrastructure is blocked.

Get Started

Your Brand, Your Cards

Generate physical or digital invite cards with QR codes. Customize the design to match your community or project.

Sponsor Accounts

Use your claimed account tokens to create Hive accounts for others. Each invite is cryptographically signed and PIN-protected.

Distribution Channels

Distribute invites through a Telegram bot in group chats. Members claim cards directly in the conversation — no manual handoff needed.

How It Works

Set up your own invite pipeline in three steps.

1

Deploy a Service

Run the open-source gift card service on your own infrastructure. It handles account creation on behalf of your invitees.

2

Generate Cards

Create batches of invite tokens with the CLI tools. Each batch produces printable PDF cards with QR codes and PINs.

3

Distribute

Hand out cards in person, share links online, or distribute through a Telegram bot. Recipients claim their account instantly.

What Your Invitees Get

Every invite creates a real Hive account with full capabilities.

HP Delegation

New accounts receive a Hive Power delegation so they can transact immediately — no need to buy or earn resources first.

Seamless Onboarding

After claiming, users are guided straight into a Hive front-end like Peakd — logged in and ready to go. No extra setup steps.

Full Hive Account

Not a limited or custodial account. Recipients hold their own keys and can use any Hive app, front-end, or service.

Need to Restore Your Account?

If you have your backup QR code and gift card PIN, you can recover your keys anytime.

FAQ

For issuers and recipients.

What is Hive?
Hive is a decentralized blockchain with fast, feeless transactions. It supports social applications, games, and a USD-pegged stablecoin (HBD) with built-in savings interest. The rate is set by elected witnesses and is currently around 15% APR.
What is HBD?
Hive Backed Dollars (HBD) is a stablecoin designed to track the US dollar. When placed in savings, HBD earns interest paid by the blockchain itself — no middleman, no counterparty risk beyond the protocol.
Why do Hive accounts need to be sponsored?
Creating a Hive account requires on-chain resources (Resource Credits). Rather than charging new users, existing community members can claim free account tokens and use them to sponsor newcomers through the invite system.
Can I customize the invite cards?
The card generation tools are open source and can be forked to customize designs, branding, and messaging. Multi-tenant support with built-in custom designs is planned for a future release.
What does it cost to run my own service?
The gift card service is lightweight and runs on minimal infrastructure (e.g. a small Fly.io instance). Account creation uses claimed account tokens, which Hive accounts earn for free over time based on their staked HP.
Where do new users land after claiming?
By default, standard invites guide users into Peakd, the most popular Hive front-end. Robust invites (for restricted regions) use the Propolis browser wallet instead. Custom post-claim destinations (e.g. Ecency, InLeo) are planned for a future release.
I lost my keys. How do I restore my account?
If you have the backup QR code (from the screenshot or printout you made during setup) and your gift card PIN, you can recover all your keys using the restore tool. Scan the QR code, enter your PIN, and your keys will be decrypted.
Does this work in restricted countries?
Yes. The system includes an obfuscating proxy layer and encrypted endpoint discovery so that the onboarding flow works even where Hive nodes are blocked. No VPN or app installation required.
