* **Hive**: The collective pool where all staked tokens are stored. The Hive determines the Return on Investment (ROI) based on the overall participation and activity within the protocol.
* **Honey Token**: The native cryptocurrency of the BeeHive Protocol. Honey Tokens are earned by participants and can be used within the ecosystem for various purposes, including staking, selling, or claiming rewards.
