Users sign in with their own wallet, maintaining full control of their keys while their posts and social connections live on public blockchain networks rather than a closed database. The platform enables users to publish content and interact with others, creating permanent onchain records. Hey charges social payment fees in GHO token, displayed separately from gas fees before transaction confirmation.

Shopper questions

How does Hey store user data and posts?

Hey is a Lens client where your social graph and posts live on public networks, not in a closed Hey database. Users upload text, pictures, and videos which are hosted on a third-party provider called the Lens Storage Node.

Who controls the private keys for my wallet on Hey?

You maintain complete control of your private keys. Hey never holds your keys, and you are solely responsible for safekeeping the private key associated with your blockchain address.

Are transactions on Hey permanent?

Yes, transactions on the blockchain, including the transfer of tokens and data attached to them, are permanent and cannot be undone. Posts and interactions create on-chain records that should be treated as permanent.

How are social payment fees charged on Hey?

Social payment fees in GHO are separate from gas fees. The total fees appear in your wallet before you send the transaction, allowing you to review the costs before confirming.
