You might already know that you can earn through posting on Hive / Axie Buzz but as a new user, you probably feel like you're lost on this new platform. Where would your earnings be found? How can you claim it?

In this tutorial, we will cover everything you should know about the Hive wallet section and mention some basics about trading on Hive's DEX, Hive Engine.
 
You created some content. Maybe it was an article, video, artwork, or maybe it was a meme. You posted it to [Axie Buzz]() while making sure that you put in the work to make your content stand out. It then received lots of views and upvotes and you earned a lot of $HIVE tokens. What’s next? Claiming, of course. Whenever you claim your earnings, they will all go directly into your wallet. But you feel confused. 

Where do you find your earnings and how to claim them? 

For this example, we will be using [**PeakD**](PeakD.com) as the platform of our choice. PeakD makes it so easy to know whenever you have some earnings to claim and it has a simpler interface, which beginner Hivers really need. Once your post has paid out after seven days from publishing, you'll get a notification from PeakD that you've got unclaimed rewards. 

You can either claim them when you receive the notification or go straight to your wallet to claim.

Here, you will see your assets in terms of Hive, Hive Power, and Hive Backed Dollar. 

As a recap, <b> [$HIVE](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/hive)</b>  is a coin or cryptocurrency with unique characteristics and capabilities. Hive has fast, 3s, transactions that are absolutely free which is a breath of fresh air after getting used to paying more than 30$ per ETH transaction.

<b> Hive Power</b>  (HP) is the staked version of [$HIVE](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/hive) tokens. To get HP, users have to “Power Up” (stake) [$HIVE](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/hive). The more HP they have, the more valuable their upvotes are, and the more they can earn from upvoting great content. HP can be converted back to [$HIVE](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/hive) in a process called “Power Down”. 

<b>Hive Backed Dollar</b> ([$HBD](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/hive_dollar)) is a liquid token pegged to the value of $1 per token.

1. <b>Pending Rewards</b>: Total amount of unclaimed earnings

#### <center><h1>**Converting Hive Backed Dollar ([$HBD](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/hive_dollar)) to [$HIVE](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/hive)**</h1></center>


<center>
Now that we have the general knowledge of the Hive Wallet, it is time to “Power Up” or Sell our [$HIVE](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/hive) in other trading platform. First we must convert our  [$HBD](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/hive_dollar) to [$HIVE](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/hive) .</center>

<center><h3>**------- Option 1 -------**</h3></center>
<center>In your wallet, go to the drop down button by clicking the down arrow on the right side next to the Hive Backed Dollars([$HBD](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/hive_dollar)). Then click "Convert to Hive". Enter the amount to convert then confirm. This will take **3 days to complete**.</center>

<center>Having to wait for 3 days for the conversion to process is definitely not ideal. Let us show you another way to do the same thing. However, it is a little bit more complicated but much faster, close to instant.</center> 





<center><h3>**------- Option 2 -------**</h3></center>
<center>Go to [Currency Market]( https://wallet.hive.blog/market). Don’t feel intimidated. In here you will be buying   [$HIVE](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/hive) with [$HBD](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/hive_dollar). </center>

1. **Click “Lowest Ask”**. 
2. Input the amount of [$HBD](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/hive_dollar) you wish to convert to [$HIVE](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/hive). You could also click **“Available”** to use all of your HDB in your wallet. 
3. Hit **“Buy [$HIVE](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/hive)”** then confirm. 
4. Check your wallet to see if the [$HIVE](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/hive) has appeared. 
5. Now you can either **“Power-up”**, Send [$HIVE](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/hive) to others or deposit it in other wallets that

<center>Once you have [$HIVE](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/hive), you can now send it to other Hivers as well as other Trading Platforms like Binance.

## <center><h1>Using Hive Engine</h1></center>

---
<center>
Hive Engine is a decentralized exchange (DEX) where users get to trade various cryptocurrencies. In simpler terms, DEX is a trading platform between users without the need for a middleman. To get you more familiar with Hive Engine and how to use it properly, we're going to make a trade to show you how it's done. For this example, we will be converting Hive into Wax.</center>

<center>**<h2>Step 1:</h2>**
Go to [HIVE ENGINE](https://hive-engine.com/#). Click **“Deposit”**. We will be putting some $HIVE in the Hive Engine Wallet before we're able to trade or convert it to other coins.</center>
 

<center>

<center>**<h2>Step 2:</h2>**
Select **HIVE** as a token to deposit. You can also Deposit other coins/tokens such as HBD and Wax.  Then **enter the amount** you wish to Deposit.</center>


<center>![2.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/grenfunkel/23xKtZ4T9WHeJB5Yf3oBPRaQHiVri3ZWjrnzcmcq7kYiy51Qie1rbXbvJS2REJ7f49nNU.png)</center>

<center>**<h2>Step 3:</h2>**</center>
1. Go to **Market**. 
2. Select the **token/coin** you need. For this example, we want Wax, so we're going to select Swap.Wax. 
3. Enter the desired amount and then confirm the transaction after a Hive Keychain notification pops up.

<center>**<h2>Step 4:</h2>**
Go to your **Hive Engine wallet**. Click **Withdraw** to send the coin/currency to the wallet you are using. Since I am using Wax as an example, I will be sending the swap.wax to my Wax wallet.</center>


<center>![withdraw.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/grenfunkel/23yneqPohL9sQurtonK2ufHFW2hAwkvaBt7YYWbmHPS7qXoVq39G17a1wgLH4gkk2qLTf.png)</center>

<center> If you want to go the other way around and sell some WAX for HIVE the steps are the same, you'll just have to switch from buy WAX to sell WAX to HIVE. That's pretty much all there is to know about how to trade on Hive Engine.
