We're excited to announce the launch of a new Hive onboarding app called Check in With — a fast and human-centered way to bring new people to Hive using real rewards and no KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements.
What Is It?
Check in With is a Proof of Person onboarding system where Trusted Onboarders verify real people with a simple selfie. Once approved, each new user instantly receives:
2 HBD to their Hive wallet
~$1 USD in BTC (sats) to their V4V.app account
From there, users begin the #JourneyofaHivean — a series of educational tasks that help them learn and engage with Hive. Each task is completed through a blog post and earns support from major Hive stakeholders.
Educational Tasks
Here is the first set of tasks:
- Try it Out
- Introduce Yourself
- Master Your Wallet
- Master Video on Hive
- Master Spending Your HIVE
- Play Games on Hive
- Account Creation and Onboarding
- Owning / Creating a Community
See here for more tasks where you can earn
Exceptional participants may also receive Hive Power delegations to encourage deeper engagement and growth.
How It Works
Video on How to use the new CheckInWith App
Find someone who wants free crypto
Ask: "Would you like to earn stablecoins (HBD) or Bitcoin (sats)?"
2. Help them install the Hive Keychain app
The app works exclusively inside the Keychain app's internal browser under the "Social" section — look for CheckinWith.
3. Create their Hive account
We recommend that you use Hive Keychain and the "onboard with a friend" method. You'll need:
3 liquid HIVE (or an Account Creation Token)
15 HP (or sufficient RCs) to delegate so they can post
4. Go to the internal browser inside of Hive Keychain and go to "Checkinwith.xyz in the Social part of the browser and take a selfie with them
The user's face doesn't have to be fully visible, but the photo must show a real person
Include a short intro: name, city, and interests
The post will be auto-tagged with
#introduceyourselfand#checkin
5. Approve the check-in
Reply to the introduction post. This step is required for the system to trigger the rewards.
Alternatively, if the Trusted on-boarder (see initial list below) is logged into checkinwith.xyz you can go to the burger menu and click on "Pending Approvals" where you can hit a button and send a standardized comment to the new user which is customisable
6. The system does the rest
A comment from @threespeakselfie will appear with additional task instructions where the user can earn for learning about how to use Hive dapps
Each completed task earns upvotes and exposure
The user receives 2 HBD and 1 USD of BTC Lightning Sats shortly afterward the approval comment is made
7. Outstanding users may receive Hive Power delegations
This helps them stay active and grow within the ecosystem. We hope that this increases user retention and call for other whales to support this system with upvotes on the #checkin tag and on the pioneer supporter feed below:
All new users are visible on the @pioneersupporter feed, so the community can follow their journey and offer support.

interesting! think the next question is how will this be sustainable with the onboarded newbies. in terms of user journey, it is just the beginning where they might be confused or no motivation at all to work it through. what's the kick behind that can get them going and perhaps even tip for the next new comers as well?
I'm going to explain further any day now, about ... But maybe what my colega and I are coming up to conquer the world, is something that can be applied in a broader sense. We want to onboard folks here within a particular context... That is, bringing hive in as a teaching tool, I'll say... The idea is that it offers opportunities that give them greater success at another goal, also encourages them to be exploring other things that they enjoy in life, etc... That's a great question you bring up and it is inspiring me to think a lot. As I'm working at my own project now... I'll be coming up with the macro/micro perspective shift in another corner of my mind.
Ultimately that's what matters most, right that it is sustainable... And in order to be sustainable, i think, it has to bring something valuable into each life
Great to know that this triggers more thought behind the scene. would definitely up for more brainstorming and perhaps getting together to vibe-code on some products to onbaord more new users. Personally have gone through this process of taking @hive as a stepping stone to be more familiar with web3. Started with @steemit and now here. I would say it is helpful as the social part of things help me understand more.
🙏
I will try this tool with my students when the new school year begins in October.
I have a question. I saw that the hashtag #introduceyourself is for that post. Then there is an assignment in Journey to be a Hivean series! to introduce yourself, and the hashtag is used again? Would that be two introductory posts?
This sounds great, pls bare in mind that this will only work with new accounts.
You just asked same thing on my mind broh
This tool changed the game!!!
I can't wait to see the onboarding curve go upwards from here
Didn't know about it. Just onboard new valid user for Hive. @nataliatothemoon . A Great storytelling and content creator.
try checking her in! U are approved to do this on the app. she will get free HBD and Sats
Tks, just watch the video and it's super easy. Going to try it
Excelente
When will this be in Spanish as well?
Would be great if it were in Spanish. maybe someone can help us translate
I will do my best to contribute to that and to enroll people who can... As honestly, I will "need" it to be ... Or anyway, I am creating the "need"... It's not a need obviously like food, but it will make a huge difference.
I love this innovation and update on the hive keychain.
Newbies coming in now are really fortunate to come on Hive to enjoy the free gifts of HBD and SATs.
Please does it mean only the usernames on this approved list are the only ones allowed to onboard newbies for now?
We have started with this list since we know it is highly unlikely that these hiveans will abuse their positions of trust in this app as they have reputations to lose that they have spent a long time on chain building up. We are very open to adding more people who can be trusted however.
I think is is a well thought out onboarding process. And it seems there are generous sponsors to this project as well.
Well done to the app devs and the ones who made this happen 👍
Thank you!
This is awesome,it would make it easier to onboard anyone interested in earning from their original content.
I find it difficult to onboard, but with this I would try it out.
Thanks for making this easy and thanks for this initiative.
Great tool for onboarding! Easy and with incentives for new users to keep coming back!
Exactly, Learn and Earn!
Wow, I will try it out today, cool update.
Awesome stuff! Will do my best to help!
Please if you need graphic design, let me know and I can give a hand!
Thank you!
Amazing way to onboard and retain. I have already used it on a a few newbies and it's looks great. Thanks so.much for this powerful tool
Thanks for all the work you do to expand the Hive economy!
Thank you for fighting this information. Interesting.
Thanks for this.
Hope to see you using it to onboard some new hiveans!
😁
This app is here to change the game in onboarding.
I really like this innovation!🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! Hope you find it useful to check in all your friends that are recent sign ups!
Suena divertido pero e la clave para verificar usuarios reales activos y comprometidos a esta plataforma. Saludos
This app is simple and easy to use making onboarding easier, you don't need to spend hours to help a newbie. The 2 HBD for the newbies help them to shop immediately
exactly this! they see the whole circle - content - earn - spend - cash back - then learn to earn more by doing the tasks in the message from @threespeakselfie

STOPI didn't imagine being on this list, so all the more reason to motivate yourself to bring new people into the ecosystem.
It seems to me an excellent methodology for new users to be guided by both mentors and the ecosystem itself, and not get lost along the way.
exactly!
I'm interested
Welcome development
Wow, another good way to earn more crypto, I would love to give this a trial. Goodluck to me
This is an excellent update 👏 and I appreciate all the piooners for this easy on-boarding method of real people. This will also encourage the newbie to make more progress due to the support they will get.
Good luck onboarding more newbies. We hope that this is a useful tool for you!
Yes, it is a useful tool, but I have to be an onboarder before I can use this tool as written in this post.
Can you write a blog requesting trusted onboarder status and get two other hiveans who are on this list above to vouch for you in the comments?
Yes I can. I discussed with the local guide in my area, and she said we should work together by assisting her in listing businesses and get shoppers to onboard, that way I will learn more from her and then get her approval. I think it's a good way to learn directly, so I would stick to that and inform you when I write my blog.
So I've been doing marketing and talking to people about hive. I've got a store that we will go check out next week and onboard some of my friends hopefully.
I'm so glad that I found this just now! Thanks
Gracias por la información, estaré revisando esta herramienta. Saludos.
$WINE
is the default language spanish? there was also no option to change.
would be great if we can get some support to turn this into a Spanish speaking app too!
That's fantastic! The whole thing taken to the next level, love it!!
thank you!
Awesome! @starkerz can you whitelist @forykw account (where I have all my Account Creation tokens). Cheers!
you dont need account creation tokens to use this app. you use them first to onboard the user via keychain create with a friend, then get them to log into checkinwith.xyz from there. then you can approve the checkin with your forky account and it will send them crypto and give them a bunch of tasks with which they can earn more hive by completing and blogging about them!
Yeah... only after logging in I understood. But thanks for clarifying for others reading my comment.
I came across a video post that detailed the tutorial on how to go about this, and it really sounds interesting. I have personally had issues using hiveonboard to create hive accounts for newbies, I guess this will far more easier. Plus the bonuses that comes along with it.
just use the create with a friend feature on a newly downloaded hive keychain. its the easiest onboarding system on hive by far, (designed by @starkerz). you will need 3Hive, or an Account creation token and 15 HP or so to delegate to the newbie
Funny enough, I just got to hear about it; if I had known about it, it would have saved me so many stress. Thank you once again @checkinwith.xyz, for sharing this
Awesome!
thank you! We hope to see you using this soon to onboard some ppl to hive
Wow, having a systematic process setting out tasks makes it easy for newbies to start posting, by the time they would have completed all the tasks, they would have a comfort zone to take it further. I would like to be approved onboarder.
yes, you get it exactly!
Is there anyone who can vouch for you on hive (ideally on the list above) so that we can get you up to a trusted onboarder status?
Ideally my profile should suffice, but still lets try @detlev or @steevc to vouch for me.
Your profile has been reviewed and You can now use checkinwith.xyz to check in new users and reward them with instant hbd and sats. You now have trusted onboarder status
Thank you so much.
Tried it for the first time two days ago and it's such a wonderful way to onboard users. The steps are so straightforward and the site is user friendly. Hoping to use it more going forward.
This is so great to hear! thank you! Happy onboarding!
gg!
hayhi. I'm trying to do it this way right now, onboarding my colega. And hitting a bump. My intention is to begin to onboard a good many new users and I was excited that this will perhaps make it a lot simpler and more accessible. Really Check In With seems like it is a fantastic tool for what we are creating and how we intend to integrate our business/clients onto Hive to lift eachother up all of us...I'm hoping that somebody can perhaps offer a bit of support so that I can get there.
Your profile has been reviewed and You can now use checkinwith.xyz to check in new users and reward them with instant hbd and sats. You now have trusted onboarder status
Thanks very much!
very juicy
community uplift imminent!
@stoodkev I don't see this in the Keychain browser plug-in, so I guess, this is exclusive to Keychain app ?
It's in there though ^
I would love to be an approved "onboarder"... As I intend to have my students all enrolling and using Hive as part of classes that are beginning very soon... I'm honestly feeling inept today and insecure about my ability to do this as I'm still learning my way in Hive/Ecency...I need to ask for support in getting students signed up.
Hi, I'm trying to use the check-in platform on hive keychain but it's directing to the attached photo with Spanish writing I assume.
How do I get English and is the website safe please?
This is a great initiative to bring in new users to the hive. I tried onboarding a new user yesterday and it was so stressful. I truly wish I came across this earlier. How can I become an on-boarder?
This looks really cool!
so i can do this to users who i have onboarded in the past? this is awesome.
It has to be pretty recent past
ok cool
Nice picture 🥰
Hi, I want to be an Onboarder, I've written on Discord but no one helps me.
I am learning how this works and going to try it with a friend of mine.
