The HashPrice app

HashPrice is a free, open source, simple iPhone/iPad/M1-Mac app to present exchange rate information about the Provenance Blockchain's Utility Token "HASH", which is used to stake, govern, secure, and transact on the network.

You can download the HashPrice app from the Apple Store.

Currently, the Hash Utility Tokens are traded on the Decentralized Limited Order Book (DLOB) exchange.

Real-time information about the status of the Provenance Blockchain can be monitored through the Provenance Blockchain Network's Explorer Dashboard.

Main Screen

When you start the app on an iPhone, you should see a screen looking very much like this:

  • Hash Utility Token: Hash Utility Token: The last fetched Hash token price in USD per Hash. Simply tap the displayed value to refresh the price in real-time.
  • Last Update: The time stamp of the last update.
  • Price - 24 Hour - High/Low: Display of the highest and lowest Hash price in the last 24 hour time window.
  • Volume 24 hour: The number of tokens traded in the last 24 hour time window with the associated volume of USD.
  • Hash Portfolio: Displays the value of your Hash holdings in USD.

In the footer of the screen, selecting the left "i" (information) button displays this wiki page in your browser, while the "config" button on the right brings up the app's config screen, (see below). Lastly, tapping the "Provenance Blockchain Foundation" will link to the foundation's webpage for more information.

Config Screen

  • Polling time: The app reaches out every "polling time" seconds to the dlob-exchange to fetch the latest pricing information. It probably doesn't make much sense to poll more often than every few minutes. Default is 300 sec (5 min).
  • Notification timer: The HashApp widget gets refreshed in the background when the app is not running in the foreground. The notification timer setting tells iOS not to refresh the widget more often than the indicated number of minutes. iOS determines when to refresh based on some magic formula that looks at all kinds of environmental factors, like battery status, iPhone version, etc. Default is 15 min.
  • Background Color: When you do not agree with the author's choice of beautiful background color... go ahead and change it to your liking.
  • Hash Portfolio: You can specify your Hash token holdings here such that you can see the value of your portfolio in real-time.
  • Fake/random prices: This is/was a debug feature, but some of you may get a kick out of it to see the Hash price go up and down more frequently than in the real world... knock yourself out!
