Introducing HiveBooster — a community-powered boost for Hive posts
I’m excited to announce the launch of HiveBooster.xyz: a simple and transparent way for content creators on HIVE to get extra upvotes — backed by real HIVE buy-pressure. The voting account will be 
This isn’t a delegation or vote-buying service. Instead, HiveBooster works by funding upvotes through affiliate and ad-revenue. Every $ (or other currency) earned gets used to purchase and stake HIVE — which increases the upvote value over time. It’s a small step toward helping the community, by converting external revenue into on-chain support.
Why I built HiveBooster — inflation, ecosystem health & buy-pressure
There’s been growing concern over the inflation dynamics in the Hive ecosystem. As described in this post by threespeak high HBD APRs and large outflows from the Decentralized Hive Fund (DHF) contribute significantly to non-programmatic inflation.
In short:
The annual inflation caused by high HBD APRs (~15%) adds substantial HIVE/HBD supply.
DHF outflows (~2.3 M HBD/year) also drive inflation — at levels many times higher than what some consider sustainable.
This inflation, without corresponding demand growth, dilutes value and undermines price stability.
I wanted to do something — even if small and imperfect — to help counteract that trend. HiveBooster is my personal contribution: a grassroots effort to create extra buying demand for HIVE. Every upvote we give means HIVE bought and staked. If enough people use HiveBooster (and optionally support our affiliate deals), we collectively push some buy pressure into the market — which over time could help mitigate the inflation’s negative effects.
How HiveBooster works (quick overview)
Go to HiveBooster.xyz and paste the URL of your Hive post (from PeakD, Ecency, Inleo).
On submission, your post gets a random upvote between 1–10 % strength depending on current available voting power of
HiveBooster monetizes via affiliate deals / ad banners. 100% of that revenue gets used to buy & stake HIVE.
As that HIVE is staked,
In other words: your participation helps fuel future growth. The more the community uses HiveBooster, the stronger the support for Hive content becomes — all funded by external revenue, not by diverting community stake or delegations.
To the community — what I hope for, and a humble request
I know this is just the beginning. HiveBooster isn’t perfect. There will be bugs, limitations, and many things to improve over time. I view this as a first, experimental step — a sort of “proof-of-concept” that community-backed buy pressure is possible.
If you believe in Hive, and you want to support the ecosystem in a different way than just delegating, I encourage you to give HiveBooster a try. If you create content, submit your posts. If you’re browsing, consider using the affiliate links (if they appeal to you) — every bit helps build upvote strength.
Please do not delegate to
If you try it out — great. If you don’t, that’s fine too. Either way — feedback is very welcome. Feel free to comment under this post or reach out if you spot bugs, have ideas, or want to help improve HiveBooster.
In conclusion
Hive is powerful — a decentralized blockchain ecosystem built for social content, community and growth. But like many blockchains, it’s facing inflation-related challenges. By launching HiveBooster, I’m trying to do my small part to help: converting affiliate revenue into HIVE demand and staking — to support content and give extra value back to the community.
Let’s see where this goes. It’s early days, but with community support, HiveBooster might become one of many tools helping strengthen Hive’s ecosystem. Let me know your thoughts on the site and on what can be improved. I didn't want to talk too much about the concept, but instead act and create something that can work from day 0.
