This diagram represents the key components of the Hive blockchain economy. The Rewards layer includes the tokens that are distributed to content creators, curators, and witnesses for their contributions to the network. The Supply and Demand layer represents the market forces that determine the value of these tokens, as well as the availability of resource credits that are needed to perform actions on the blockchain.

The Governance and Consensus layer includes the mechanisms for making decisions and achieving consensus on the state of the blockchain. This includes the witnesses who validate transactions and produce blocks, as well as the proposals and voting mechanisms that allow stakeholders to make decisions about the direction of the network.

Finally, the DApps and Smart Contracts layer represents the wide range of decentralized applications that are built on top of the Hive blockchain. These can include social media platforms, gaming applications, decentralized finance protocols, NFT marketplaces, and more.
