Hive Blockchain: The Easiest Place to Build Apps (Without Smart Contracts)
Look, I’ve built on a few different blockchains over the years, and I’ll be straight with you: most of them are a pain in the backside. Gas fees that’ll bankrupt you, smart contracts that feel like you’re programming with your hands tied behind your back, and consensus mechanisms that move slower than bureaucracy. But then there’s Hive, and it’s a completely different beast. Hive is hands down the easiest blockchain to build applications on. Not because it holds your hand or abstracts away complexity, but because it gets out of your way and lets you actually build things. Here’s why it’s become my go-to platform for blockchain development.
