Hivello

Hivello project overview

DePIN β€” decentralized physical infrastructure networks. This term refers to the use of blockchain for launching and maintaining decentralized networks of hardware, such as sensors, network devices, or physical data storage.

Node, or network node β€” computer running a specific program continuously.

All nodes within the same network are connected to each other, which enables consensus β€” a special algorithm used to verify the correctness of transactions within the network. This infrastructure is vital for the functioning of decentralized blockchain networks.

After launching a node, a user can earn passive income by utilizing their available computing resources. However, this is a technically challenging task, which limits the widespread use of nodes among a broad audience.

Hivello β€” simplifies the launch of DePIN nodes, adapting the use of decentralized networks, making them more accessible and convenient for a wider range of users (mass adoption).

The developers of Hivello have created a highly simplified desktop application.
This application is designed to allow users to earn passive income simply by sharing their computational resources. This innovative approach not only generates income for users, who no longer require advanced skills to work with blockchain, but also strengthens the overall network of nodes.

Hivello β€” new technology that allows users to install an application on their physical devices (computers, routers, modems, and data storage). By providing their computer's resources, users can start mining DePIN protocols for Web3 applications without any specialized technical knowledge.

The earnings of Hivello app users are influenced by the following factors:

  • availability of computing resources,
  • demand for DePIN protocols,
  • current market conditions.

The use of the application does not reduce the performance of users' devices, as it only utilizes the free capacity of their computers. The app efficiently distributes the user's available computing resources across multiple DePIN protocols, maximizing mining profits.

Another important advantage of the project: Hivello addresses the issue of market fragmentation in DePIN. More and more DePIN projects are being connected to the Hivello app. Users do not need to choose which specific DePIN project to provide their computing resources to. They also don’t need to figure out various methods for setting up nodes for numerous new DePIN projects. Hivello does this for the user in the most efficient way.

User payments

The Hivello app allows users to receive payments in both the tokens of the utilized DePIN project and stablecoins. The system automatically converts mined tokens into USDT/USDC at the current exchange rate and then transfers them to the user's bank card in their local currency.

Technical advantages of the Hivello platform

  • The application manages rewards across multiple L1 and L2 blockchains and converts them into fiat currency (upon user request).
  • The platform is tailored for beginner users. Wallet creation, token exchange, and gas fee payments occur automatically.
  • Registration and app management follow the familiar format for Web2 users.
  • The platform is built on the Solana network and supports numerous other DePIN blockchains.
  • The platform generates and manages both public and private security keys for users.
  • The project uses a system of divided and containerized nodes, operated under the Hivello OS, providing additional security.

To ensure data security, Hivello uses industry-standard security protocols. Hivello does not share or sell user data to third parties.

The project is in the final stage of readiness β€” the platform is currently in beta testing.

Token Utility

$Hivello is used to support its platform, Hivello app users, partner DePIN networks, and other members of the DePIN community.

The project has developed a multi-level system to engage users and incentivize them to acquire tokens.

Utility of the $Hivello token:

  • reduced platform fees for active token usage;
  • increased profits for long-term holders;
  • additional rewards for higher-level participants who have staked their tokens for a longer period.

Token distribution is dynamic and adjusts based on the market price.

Tokenomics

  • Token ticker: $Hivello
  • Total supply: 10 billion
  • Network: Solana
  • Our round: Strategic (project valuation in this round β€” $45 million)
  • Token price: $0,0045
  • Conditions: TGE 5%, 3-month cliff, then linear unlock over 18 months
  • TGE: autumn 2024

In the previous β€” Pre-Seed β€” round, the tokens are locked at TGE, and they cannot be sold for the first 6 months.

Negotiations are underway for listing on ByBit, OKX, and MEXC exchanges.
