Creating a Hive Account with USDC? Soon.
Creating a Hive account is about to become dramatically easier ⚡️
With Hive Keychain Multichain, new users will be able to create a Hive account simply by paying a small fee using EVM tokens like USDC, no complicated onboarding, no extra steps. This is the kind of frictionless onboarding Hive needs to reach users outside our ecosystem.
A smoother entry point means:
- Easier onboarding for new communities
- Better conversion from external crypto users
- Simpler integrations for apps and partners
- More growth opportunities for the entire Hive ecosystem
The video below shows an early preview of how seamless this experience can be. If you want to help us continue building this future for Hive, support our latest DHF proposal.

That's a great idea! Can't wait to see the stats on how many people use it?
really wish we don't rely to make the circle empire larger than it is becoming thanks to the EU. I'll rather have open algorithmic stablecoins like DAI instead or USDD.
This is probably one of the most practical onboarding improvements Hive can make.
Account creation has always been one of those small frictions that feels minor to existing users and huge to outsiders. People coming from EVM wallets already understand paying a transaction fee or using a stablecoin. They do not always understand resource credits, account tickets, or why creating a Hive account requires a different mental model.
Letting someone create an account with USDC does not only simplify payment. It translates Hive onboarding into a language external crypto users already know. That is the important part.
I also like that this connects directly to Keychain Multichain. If the wallet can handle identity, account creation, and cross-ecosystem assets in one place, Hive becomes less isolated. The chain still keeps its own architecture, but the entry point becomes much less intimidating.
That is where growth usually starts: not with a big slogan, but with one fewer confusing step.
