One of the most recent updates in Hive Keychain is the incorporation of an internal Swap system, which greatly facilitates the exchange of HIVE or HBD for any other token of the second layer of our Hive network.

If you haven't heard about this, here's what it's all about, because it's important to always keep up to date with everything new both inside and outside of Hive.

What does Hive Keychain offer?

Before explaining the latest news, it is important to explain a little about @keychain.

It is a fundamental tool among all users who are part of hive, since from the creation of our account, Hive Keychain is there to facilitate our work and above all securely store our passwords.

With the help of Hive Keychain you can have an easy and secure access to the different dApps that are part of the Hive network, in this ecosystem of Web 3.0 as is hive, we have many things to explore, many of us are here because we are writers, others simply because they are lovers of the NFTs games of the Hive network, or others are even here because they are investors, and that is where Hive Keychain becomes a great tool for the more than 100,000 users who already use it daily.

It works as a tool to guard our keys, make fund transfers and many more things that you can explore.

New direct Swap option.

Now it's time to talk about the new Hive Keychain updates, and one of them is the direct Swap system using the same tool without using other external services.

Maybe for many it is not a very relevant news, but those of us who use second layer tokens know that it is a great option, and let me explain why.

Previously, to buy second layer tokens like the ones we see in Hive Engine or LeoDex, you had to swap HBD for HIVE, and then deposit those HIVE to the mentioned wallets to then buy second layer tokens like LEO - DEC -BRO.

But now you can Swap directly using your HBD or even your hive, and this makes things much easier, as the long process we had to do before, has been simplified to a couple of clicks using the same Hive Keychain tool.

In my case I used this service as a test to buy some LEO tokens, and it was a very fast and comfortable process to perform.

Even, after having done this HIVE Swap for LEO, I signed up to participate for an HP delegation, this was an activity that the guys from Hive Keychain were organizing, and fortunately I turned out to be one of the winners of this delegation, so I have 3000 from HP in my possession to give some small votes to quality content.

Although this is a good alternative for everyone, I think it is more useful for those who have mobile devices, because this way you don't have to do a whole process to buy second layer tokens, of course when doing a direct Swap, you can't see details like the token graph or the market movement in the last 24 hours, and that is an option that we can see in Hive Engine in LeoDex.

Another interesting thing is that this Swap has a 0% fee, which is very good for a Swap system.

At the moment we have the following options available in Hive Keychain:

♦ Send

♦ Buy

♦ History

♦ Tokens

♦ Swap

Go and explore each one of them, as I am sure if you are uh new user in hive, this will be useful for you.

(Remember that the Swap option can be used to exchange either HIVE or HBD for the token of your choice).

New Widget for mobile devices.

This is one of the new features integrated in this 1.14 mobile version of Hive Keychain.

And as you can see in the image I have shared above, you can already integrate the new Widget to the main screen of your phone, this is great news, because it certainly helps us a lot to be informed of changes in the value of HIVE, as well as to have in sight the balance of your account.

In addition, it looks very elegant in its design.

Have you already added these new Widgets to your mobile device?
