Torum, the Swiss Army Knife of the Crypto Ecosystem
To survive in a bear market, securing community support is essential. Without an active community behind a project, the project simply starts its own countdown to death.
However, the industry is always short of a cost-effective channel for projects to build their exposure. To get connected with the cryptocurrency communities, most projects are forced to use PR, airdrops, and offline events which only produce short-term results, yet remain costly as ever.
As a social media platform with over 59,000 unique cryptocurrency users, this is where Torum comes into place. In the coming July 2021, Torum is going to unveil an ecosystem development strategy that aims to connect and enrich all the industry leaders, communities, and projects in the present crypto industry.
A One-Stop Marketing Suite for Projects - In the coming H2 of 2021, Torum will be shifting the focus of ecosystem development into integrating a set of project-specific features that enables project owners to build and manage their community, while helping projects attain the desired marketing exposure cost-effectively.

How Does Markethive Create Token Velocity?
Token Economies are still very new technology so more research needs to be performed. Even financial experts in the field of economics have conflicting analogies at present. They are calling it an economic tautology, however, it stands to reason we at Markethive are on the right track here.

This ensures that the velocity is maintained for the initial and long-term price of MHV and is indicative of a healthy Markethive Ecosystem. Read More
