Tokens & dSwap

Supported Tokens

Markets on HivePredict can be denominated in three types of tokens:

  • HIVE: the native token of the Hive blockchain.
  • HBD (Hive Backed Dollars): Hive’s stablecoin, pegged to approximately 1 USD.
  • Hive Engine tokens: second-layer tokens like LEO, SPS, and others. Market creators choose from any token that meets minimum precision and volume requirements.

When placing a prediction, you must use the token type specified by the market.

dSwap Integration

If a market uses a Hive Engine token you don’t hold, HivePredict can automatically swap HIVE to the required token using dSwap. When you try to place a prediction with insufficient balance:

  1. The platform detects the shortfall and offers to swap HIVE for the required token.
  2. It calculates the optimal swap route and the minimum HIVE needed (including fees and slippage).
  3. You approve the swap in Hive Keychain.
  4. The platform waits for your new token balance to appear, then proceeds with the prediction.

dSwap requires Hive Keychain and is not available when authenticated via HiveSigner.

Token Precision

All supported tokens use at least 3 decimal places of precision (e.g., 10.500 HIVE).

Monthly Spending Limits

Monthly spending limits apply to HIVE and HBD markets only. Markets using Hive Engine tokens are not subject to monthly spending caps.
