The Hive blockchain is an open-source, community-driven blockchain that was created as a fork from the Steem blockchain platform. Hive is a social media platform that was created by a group of Steem community members, after an alleged attempt to monopolize the popular content platform by Justin Sun, the founder of the Tron network. Hive has a DPoS consensus mechanism, with very fast transaction times of under 3 seconds.
