IN THE FIELD GUIDE

Hivebid

hivebid.lol

HiveBid is a shared advertising board of 400 hexagons where users bid to claim territory and promote their website or social media handle. The top bidder holds the center, and bids determine the relative share of the board each participant holds, which can shrink as others bid more.

A good fit for

  • Website owners or social media users wanting to advertise and gain clicks through a gamified bidding directory.
  • Users without a website who want to promote their social media handles on platforms like X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, or GitHub.

Know the limitations

  • Territory size shrinks as others bid more; no direct loss of land or money but share is relative and can decrease.
  • Bids are non-refundable except if payment cannot be applied to the board at all.

What you can do

  • Advertising and promoting websites or social media profiles by claiming territory on a shared visual board.
  • Increasing visibility and clicks by holding a larger share of the board and occupying a central or prominent position.

Features

  • A single board of 400 hexagons shared by all sites, with territory size based on relative bid amounts.
  • Live updating bid box that shows exactly how many hexagons your money will buy before payment.
  • Top bidder is placed at the center of the board, with others arranged outward; top three get medals and descriptions shown on the board.
  • Supports bidding with either website URLs or social media handles from platforms like X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, or GitHub.
  • Bids on the same link add together, growing the territory rather than creating multiple territories.
