Everything you make, sell and share, behind one link. No sign-up, nothing to pay, and the page is yours: signed with your own keys, it is not ours to edit or delete.

Make it look like you, not us.
Colours, edges, type, spacing, how loud your links are: every bit of it is yours to change, whenever and as often as you like. We keep it looking sharp at any combination, and your design travels with your page, on the chain, not in our stylesheet.
Think of it as a gamertag for the rest of the internet. There is no opntr.ee account to sign up for, because the name is not one we lend you: it already works on sites we have nothing to do with, and your posts, your reputation and whatever you take up next all sit under the same one. Your links are simply the first thing you have pointed it at.

Your page outlives us.
That is not a promise, it is where it is kept. Your page is saved under your own name rather than in an account of ours, so there is nothing of yours for us to edit, lose or hold hostage.
Your own account
Free
Free with a Hive account, and not a trial of anything
You already have a Hive account, or you are happy to make one yourself.
Unlimited links, published under your own name
Your name, bio and picture come along from your Hive profile
The design system: colours, edges, voice, air, loudness
Signed with your own keys, so not ours to edit, delete or lock you out of
The essentials, nothing more. You look after your own keys, and you sign with Keychain. Move up to Starter whenever you want more.
If you already have a Hive account and sign in with your wallet, publishing is free and always will be: your account signs its own page and we are never in the middle of it. If you have no account, the plan is EUR 3 a month or EUR 24 a year, cancellable monthly. That plan pays for the work of running a page for you: publishing it, keeping your keys safe, and handing them over when you ask. Getting you onto Hive is part of it. What you are never buying is the name itself: it is written to a public chain under your own account, it is not ours to sell, and it stays yours whatever happens to us.
As many as you want. Put them in any order, and give any link a short note underneath so people know what they are clicking.
As often as you like. Edit your links, reorder them, restyle the whole page and publish again; the new version replaces the old one on the spot.
Completely. Colours, edges, type, spacing and how loud the links are, all yours to change whenever you want. Your design belongs to your page, not to our stylesheet, so it goes wherever your page goes.
Anywhere a link fits: your bio on any platform, an email signature, a QR code on a poster. Your address is opntr.ee/ followed by your name, short enough to say out loud.
Nothing published can be taken off Hive, by us or by anybody: it is a signed operation on a public chain, and a reader finds it whatever happens to this site. What does differ between the two ways in is whether anybody but you can publish something new under your name. With your own keys, nothing about your account is ours to use, so the answer there is simply no. With an account we made for you, we hold a posting authority inside it, which is how your page gets published at all and which we could point at a page you did not write. What ends that is one operation from any Hive wallet, and the question below is about exactly that.
Publish over it, and keep you out of this editor. Both are real, and any service that would not say so plainly is one to be careful of. Your account has four keys and they are in our vault until you ask for them, and a posting key of ours sits inside the account, which is what lets us publish for you without you handling anything. Asking for the four is never refused: it takes a fresh sign-in, a second thing that proves it is you, and a wait between an hour and thirty days, set by how old that second thing is. What we cannot reach is anything already on Hive, and what we cannot prevent is you ending this: from any Hive wallet you take both of our permissions away in one go, and anybody can then read on Hive that they are gone rather than take our word for it.
On the surface, barely: links on a page at a short address. The difference is who owns the page. Yours is not a row in our database, so while you hold your own keys it is not ours to edit, lose or take down, and readers can check that your page really is yours. An account we made for you is the one case with more to say, and the two questions above say it.
No, though the short version is worth a minute. Hive is a public network that anybody can read from and no company owns. Your name and your page are kept there instead of in a database of ours, and that is the whole reason that, with your own keys, your page is not ours to edit, delete or shut you out of. Using it is no more than signing in and publishing. It is the part nobody thinks about until a company like ours goes away, which is the day it turns out to have been the important part.
It means that website named the account back. Anyone can type any address into a profile, so an address on its own claims nothing. The tick appears only when the domain itself publishes a record naming the account, which only whoever runs that domain can add, and it is the reader’s own browser that checks it rather than us. So it says the page and the website are run by the same people, and nothing at all about who those people are. That is also why it sits against the domain and never against the person: a tick beside somebody’s name asks you to trust something without saying what, and a domain you can read for yourself and judge.
Two things, both yours to do. Put your website in your Hive profile, then add one DNS record at that domain: a TXT record named _openattribute.yourdomain.com, reading hive=yourname. That is all of it. It appears the next time somebody opens your page, and it goes when you remove the record.
Names are first come, first served, and a name nobody has registered is the only kind anybody can take. What a name cannot do, here or anywhere, is prove who is behind it: somebody can register one that looks like yours. That is what the website line is for. A page claiming to be a company shows that company’s domain vouching for the account only if the company itself wrote that record, and nobody outside it can. Two other things on a page are worth more than a name as well, and neither can be bought: how long the account has existed, and the reputation other accounts have voted onto it.
