We've just released the version 1.9 of Hive Keychain. It is already available on Firefox and is pending review on the Chrome Store (you can expect it in a few days).
New features
Hive Engine
You can now check your Hive Engine tokens balance for Hive Keychain, as well as your trade history and the list of available tokens.
You can also transfer tokens to other accounts from the Keychain popup.
For this, click the Tokens button on the popup main page =>
requestSignTx
dApps can now request Keychain to sign operations and return the signed result.
To use this new feature, first prepare the operation(s):
hive.broadcast._prepareTransaction({ operations: [['transfer', { to: 'to_account', from: 'from_account', amount: '0.001 HIVE', memo: 'test' }]] })
Then pass the result to Hive Keychain to obtain the signed operations:
hive_keychain.requestSignTx(username,operations,key,callback) where key is the type of key (posting, active or memo).
Keychainify improvement
Thanks to @quochuy, Keychainify now directly works on HiveSigner links, without having to open the link in a new tab.
Next steps
To read about a more detailed list of our next features, for both the extension and our planned mobile App, please take a look at our proposal.
In the near future iterations of the Hive Keychain extension, we will concentrate on the following improvements:
Onboarding
Onboarding is one of the major issues on our blockchain and we believe that Keychain can help:
- Automatically passing keys to Keychain when an account is created.
- Automatically claiming account creation tickets if RC is over a threshold
- Creating accounts directly from within the extension, whether by paying for them on using claimed accounts.
We welcome the many dApps that are working towards an easier onboarding to communicate with us on how we can help them make this a reality.
Documentation
Our extension is constantly evolving and the documentation is far from up-to-date. We will use documentation.js to automate some of the documentation process and make it easier for developers to use Hive Keychain.

Nice work!
I started using Hive KeyChain in my project and found that the implementation is as simple and secure as it could be.
Thank you for developing this.

May I ask what project? A dApp? A website? A game? Something else?
