I have been on hive since before its birth :)
And still, one of the questions that are very difficult for me to answer is ..
What is your favorite project?
Why? You may ask.
The answer is simple. There are many unique projects in hive, and a user can use any or many of them - there are many platforms that I enjoy and many projects that I believe play a big role here.
This time, I will talk about inleo.io - and I will explain why I love, enjoy and use it.
History
One of the things I always consider when using a platform or participating to a project is its history. How long has it been online? Has it grown stronger?
Well, InLeo has been on hive for a long time - (some of you may remember steemleo from the past). It started as a community for finance & crypto related blogs, but has grown so much in the past 5 years, I almost cannot believe where we are at this moment.
InLeo has its own website and its own token. Users can log in inleo.io using their hive credentials and create content in the hive blockchain, for which they will be appreciated and rewarded in a variety of tokens. Users who write and curate using inleo.io earn both $hive, $hbd and also the native $leo token.
And there is more!
A few months ago, inleo integrated an update, with which users can create new accounts and be rewarded in other tokens like $dash or $sps!
Team
I always check the team behind a project and I can tell you that the team has been both active and proactive. There is always information shared about the actions and the future plans, and most of all, they are receptive to users feedback. There are very often AMAs and Videos, where everyone can participate and ask their questions or share their observations.
It is very easy to participate, just keep an eye on inleo and their threadcasts (also announced - broadcasted on X, link: https://x.com/inleoio)
Content
Users can see blog post any way they choose.
If they visit: https://inleo.io/posts - they can choose between a number of options:
Choose between Following - Subscriptions - Trending - Hot - New and also between posts written on inleo or on hive.
If you visit home, you can see, interact with and write your own short form posts that are called threads
/@v2
Leo Threads is a place where you can see many different topics - varying from simple questions, to crypto, to music, to memes, to photographs!

Shorts
In collaboration with 3speak, users can post short posts directly through inleo.io
In this link: https://inleo.io/shorts you can find the most recent shorts and if you log in inleo, you can try to post your own short!
Premium & Subscriptions
More opportunities for content creators
Users have some additional options to showcase their content.
- Paying premium (10 HBD per month), they can have greater exposure for their content, post longer threads and be considered for curation. (see image below for more details)
- Premium Users can turn on subscriptions so that their readers can pay for exclusive content. This option is found at: https://inleo.io/settings

Dashboard and Statistics
You can check your own dashboard that offers valuable information and can help you understand how you are doing and what you can do to improve.
It is located at: https://inleo.io/dashboard
I know that my statistics were not exactly the best, but there have been way too many challenges in 2025. (We are still alive, so we still have a chance!)
Users can also user the website https://hivestats.io/ for more detailed statistics and to see their earnings - development. This is a very useful website that I use at least once a month.

Delegation benefits
Users can delegate $hive to 
As you see below, for my 1000 HP delegation, I receive approximately $3.37 a month without doing anything at all. In addition to this, I support the project and more users - content can be appreciated through the upvotes provided.
LPUD Day
Leo Power Up Day
Every 15th of the month the users can power up their $leo and have an opportunity to earn rewards, while helping the ecosystem grow. This is similar to the Hive Power Up Day (HPUD) that takes place every 1st of the month.

Referral rewards!
InLeo has recently introduced their referral program.
Users can earn if other users use their link to join. (They will need to be new, not existing users) - of course there are many security measures so if you plan to cheat, DONT!
Having checked my page, I see that there are 15 referrals! I hope that the greatest percentage will remain active!
This is my referral links, if you are reading this and you are NOT a hive user :) Reach out to me for any questions.

LeoDex
InLeo has created their own decentralized exchange - LeoDex!
This is an amazing app where you can use hive or leo to buy a great number of other tokens. I recently bought $dash from $leo!
Conclusion
InLeo is one of the projects that has integrity, vision and clear goals.
I have always enjoyed spending time here and there are some of my online friends that are only found threading on inleo threads :)
There are lots of plans and hopefully we will be enjoying them soon, but in the meantime what I can say is that I enjoy writing using the inLeo platform, interacting with my friends and I would not change this. What is even most important is that it is possible even for non content creators to earn passively, while exploring and learning.
I would like to share that I am also a daily user of the below
- ecency
- hive.blog
- peakd.com
- actifit (almost daily, to check my progress)
And others that I use on a very often basis. Each one deserve a post and a tutorial on their own!
What about you?
