### Using The Hive

{% hint style="info" %}

#### **How does The Hive find yields?**

The Hive continuously pulls APYs, liquidity data, utilization rates, and audit information from integrated lending and staking protocols on Solana. It surfaces the top opportunities based on real-time data rather than static lists or outdated dashboards.

#### **Do I need to know how to use individual dApps?**

No. The Hive abstracts the complexity so you don’t need to learn every protocol’s UI. You can still inspect and verify everything on-chain, but the heavy lifting is optional.

### Security and Control
