Sequential Endpoint Fallback

Tries endpoints in priority order (#1 → #2 → #3). If timeout or error occurs, automatically switches to the next available endpoint. Configurable list and order.

Auto-Reconnect & Health Monitoring

Periodic health checks monitor endpoint health. Automatically switches to healthier endpoints at runtime without page refresh.

Hive Blockchain Concepts

Before diving into the components, it's helpful to understand some Hive blockchain concepts:

Accounts

Hive uses a hierarchical key system for securing accounts. For read-only components (displaying user data, posts, balances), no keys are required.

Tokens

  • HIVE - The native cryptocurrency
  • HBD - Hive Backed Dollar, a stablecoin pegged to ~$1 USD
  • HP (Hive Power) - Staked HIVE that gives voting power and Resource Credits

Resource Credits (RC)

Hive uses Resource Credits instead of transaction fees. RC is used for write operations on the blockchain and regenerates over time.
