Ecency Wallet
Learn how to manage multiple tokens, layer-2 assets, and external chain tokens (BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, APT, TRX, TON) with full self-custody using Ecency's wallet features.
Ecency Wallet
Ecency includes a fully integrated wallet that lets you manage your Hive account balances, transfers, layer-2 tokens, and even external chain assets like BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, APT, TRX, and TON, all in one place.
The wallet works across web, mobile, and desktop apps.
Wallet Overview
The wallet provides access to:
- HIVE (liquid token)
- Hive Power (HP)
- Hive Backed Dollars (HBD)
- Savings balances
- Hive Engine layer 2 tokens
- SPK layer 2 tokens
- Ecency Points
- External chain tokens (BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, APT, TRX, TON)
You can view balances, recent transactions, and perform key actions across these assets.
External Chain Tokens
Ecency Wallets support lightweight wallets for blockchains such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), BNB Chain (BNB), Solana (SOL), Aptos (APT), Tron (TRX), and Ton (TON). These direct integrations give you full control and self custody, letting you track and transfer cross-chain tokens alongside your Hive assets without leaving Ecency. The cross-chain wallet structure is being upgraded - see cross-chain wallets for details and the seed phrase migration guide if you have funds in a wallet created with a seed phrase.
Key Actions
✅ Power Up
Convert liquid HIVE into Hive Power (HP) to:
- Increase your voting power
- Gain Resource Credits (RC)
- Participate in governance
Powering up helps you earn more curation rewards and influence.
✅ Power Down
Convert Hive Power back into liquid HIVE over a 13-week period (weekly payouts). Useful if you want to:
- Trade HIVE
- Transfer it to others
- Use it outside Hive ecosystem
Be mindful - powering down reduces your voting and RC capacity.
✅ Transfer Tokens
Send HIVE or HBD to other users:
- Tap “Transfer”
- Enter recipient name, amount, and optional memo
- Confirm with your active key
✅ Convert HBD ↔ HIVE
On Ecency Web, you can request conversions between:
- HBD → HIVE (via 3.5-day conversion process or instantly via market)
- HIVE → HBD (instantly via market, if liquidity is available)
If conversions or claims seem delayed, check payouts and conversions troubleshooting.
✅ Use Savings
Move HIVE or HBD into savings for extra security.
Withdrawals from savings take 3 days to complete. Transferring HBD into savings earns you 15-20% (subject to governance settings) annual rewards claimable monthly.

Tips for Security

- If you have a cross-chain wallet created with a seed phrase, keep the phrase safe until you have migrated your funds.
