HivePulse v1.6.0: Multi-Account, Full Wallet & Smarter Notifications! ๐Ÿ””๐Ÿ’ผ

Hey Hiveans! ๐Ÿ

We are thrilled to announce that HivePulse v1.6.0 is now LIVE on the Chrome Web Store! This is our biggest update yet โ€” one that transforms HivePulse from a handy companion into a true power-user cockpit for the Hive blockchain. If v1.5.0 gave you your wallet, v1.6.0 makes it yours across every account you manage.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ Multi-Account Support: Switch Instantly, Stay in Control

For the many of you juggling multiple Hive accounts โ€” creators, curators, developers, and teams โ€” this one is for you.

  • Account Switcher Dropdown: A new account switcher lives right in the header. Tap it to add, select, or remove accounts without ever opening a new browser tab.
  • Per-Account Session Storage: Each account stores its own session tokens independently. Switching accounts is instant โ€” no re-login required as long as your session is still valid.
  • Add Account Modal: Adding a second (or third!) account is a breeze. Just enter the username, authenticate via Keychain, and you are in.

๐Ÿ’ธ Wallet: Transact Directly from the Extension

Your wallet is no longer just a read-only dashboard. You can now act on your assets without ever leaving HivePulse.

  • Quick Send: Transfer HIVE or HBD to any Hive account โ€” complete with recipient validation (including debounced lookup), amount input, optional memo, and a Max button. Powered by Keychain, so your keys never touch us.
  • Quick Receive: Instantly display your Hive address with a one-click copy button. Share it with anyone, anywhere.
  • Transfer History: Browse your last 20 transfers with clear in/out indicators. Need to go further back? Hit "Load More" for cursor-based pagination through your full history.
  • Claim Rewards in One Click: The portfolio pending section now features a Claim All button. When viewing your own account, claim your HIVE, HBD, and HP rewards in a single Keychain action โ€” no frontend needed.

๐Ÿฆ HBD Savings Dashboard: Put Your HBD to Work

HBD savings is one of Hive's most powerful โ€” and underused โ€” features. We have built a full dashboard around it.

  • Accrued Interest Estimate: See how much interest your HBD savings have built up since your last payment, calculated in real time from chain data.
  • Claim Interest Button: Trigger your interest payment directly from the extension. The button is intelligently gated on the 30-day compound interval, showing a countdown timer when you are not yet eligible.
  • Interest Payment History: Review your last 5 interest payments at a glance.
  • Live APR Display: The current HBD savings APR is fetched live from condenser_api.get_dynamic_global_properties and shown right alongside your balance.

๐Ÿ’ก Earning Explainer: Understand Your Hive Income

New to Hive earnings, or just want a refresher? The Earning Explainer in the Wallet tab breaks down all four income streams with a clean, collapsible 4-card module:

  • Content Rewards โ€” author payouts from posts and comments
  • Curation Rewards โ€” rewards for voting early and well
  • Savings Interest โ€” passive yield on your HBD in savings
  • Governance โ€” returns from witness and DHF proposal voting

Each card includes the current live rate where applicable.


๐Ÿ”” Notifications Tab: The Pulse, Fully Realised

The Stats tab has been completely rebuilt as a dedicated Notifications hub โ€” no more cluttered gauges and search boxes, just the information that matters.

  • Unified Feed with Smart Filtering: The Pulse now has four filter tabs โ€” All, Social, Finance, and Votes โ€” each showing exactly the notifications you care about, grouped by recency (Today, Yesterday, This Week, This Month, Older).
  • Full Finance History: We now pull from condenser_api.get_account_history in addition to the bridge API, surfacing notifications that were previously invisible:
    • Interest payments
    • Reward claims
    • Power-ups and Power-downs
    • Savings deposits, withdrawals, and fills
    • Proposal payments
  • Background Notification Polling: The extension now silently checks for new Hive notifications in the background. When something arrives that you haven't seen, a red badge appears on the extension icon with the unread count.
  • Configurable Badge & Filters: In Settings, you can toggle the notification badge on or off and choose exactly which notification types trigger it. Votes are off by default to keep things focused.
  • Finance Pagination Fixed: "Load Older" in the Finance tab now correctly pages through your account history using a sequence-number cursor โ€” it was silently broken before.
  • Accurate Counts: The total count shown next to "The Pulse" now reflects the true combined total from both data sources, capped at 99+.

๐ŸŒฑ Onboarding & UX Polish

  • First-Run Banner: New users are greeted with a friendly, dismissible onboarding banner that introduces key features on their very first open.
  • Contextual Tooltips: Hover over VP, RC, HIVE, HBD, and all portfolio asset labels to get a quick explanation. Tooltips are viewport-aware โ€” they never get clipped by the extension boundaries.
  • Version Number in Settings: The current version ("HivePulse v1.6.0") is now shown at the bottom of the Settings screen, so you always know exactly what you are running.

๐Ÿ“ฅ Get it Now!

If you already have HivePulse installed, your browser should update it automatically soon. If you haven't joined the pulse yet, now is the perfect time!
