What Ecency Actually Does for Hive (Beyond the App)

avatar

Most people think of Ecency as a mobile app or website.

But what we operate is much broader.


We onboard users (and protect the ecosystem)

  • ~6,000+ users per year

  • ~47% of signup attempts filtered as fraud

Growth matters - but quality matters more.


We support users

We provide support via:

  • Email

  • Discord

  • Telegram

Helping users understand Hive and stay active.


We improve retention

Through:

  • gamification

  • points systems

  • engagement features

Retention is actively built, not assumed.


We operate at scale

  • 3.84 billion requests

  • 473 million page views

  • 237 TB bandwidth


We absorb attacks

  • ~289 million threats mitigated

Infrastructure is not just cost - it's protection.


We run core services

  • authentication (HiveSigner)

  • explorer (HiveExplorer)

  • search (HiveSearcher)

  • browser extension (HiveKeeper)

  • Image hosting (Imagehoster)

  • Full node (Hive full node)


We reduced costs

  • ~22% cost reduction

  • ~50% smaller dev team

  • same level of delivery


What this means

Ecency is not just an app.

It's:

  • onboarding

  • infrastructure

  • support

  • retention

  • ecosystem services

I appreciate the prompt support @ecency gives everyone in Waves and also in Ecency chat! Definitely more than an app!

I admit that what I know most about the Ecency team is the web blog and the cell phone application, so this post gives me information that I didn't know.

289 million threats!
Wow!
From my experience, there is one thing that I can always find on Ecency and the Hive communities, in general.
This unique thing is inspiration to write (about) something and engage with other users, and all of this activity is the quintessence of social media interaction, I think.
Keep up the good work to further grow the Hive ecosystem and blockchain👍!

Uploading video is very simple on both website and mobile app, did you try that? Give feedback what is confusing so we can improve further.
