How to Create a Skatehive Account
1. Refer a Friend to Skatehive Using Your Account
- Navigate to the robot icon at the top of Skatehive or click here.
Choose their username. Make sure they like it, as it cannot be changed easily. Type in their email address.
Once you click "Looks Good, Go For It", it will prompt a Keychain transaction. After you approve, the account will be created, and your friend will receive an email.
Receive an Email Invite
Your friend will receive an email that contains their HIVE KEYS.
Important: Keep Your Keys Safe
- Never lose your keys! They cannot be recovered if lost.
- Skatehive.app does not store copies of your keys for security reasons. It’s your responsibility to store them securely.
Logging In
Use your username and password to log in to Skatehive through any browser. However, we recommend using Hive Keychain for the most secure experience.

2. Setting Up Hive Keychain
Hive Keychain securely stores your private key information. It’s available as a browser extension for desktop and as a mobile app (which also serves as a web browser). Use it to log into Hive frontends, including Skatehive.
For Mobile Users
Create a PIN to unlock the keychain.
After setting up the PIN, click Use Keys/Password and enter your Master Password.
Log in to Skatehive by entering your username.
Once the Hive Keychain approves the transaction, you’ll be logged in.
3. Create a Hive Account Yourself
You can also create Hive accounts (wallets) using other Hive frontends and then use those accounts to log into Skatehive.
Steps:
- Make sure you have Hive Keychain installed.
- Go to HiveOnboard and create your account.
