gm HIVE!
it's a great time to be alive!

we decided to take the dive and power up twenty times five!

we might be sleep deprived we might be crazy-eyed but it really ain't no jive We just want this community to thrive!

Super stoked to Power Up this month because we've managed to save a few HIVE to do a slightly larger than normal power up.

Because of the scale, all our other account growth activities on hivestats.io look tiny, but what the hey.

Why do we do it?

Well because it helps keep the blockchain decentralized. Hive works on a consensus protocol called Proof of Stake (PoS). Your influence and voting power depend on the amount of HIVE Power (HP) you hold. To increase your HP, you must power up your liquid HIVE, which just means you lock it up in a sort of savings account.

For example, if you power up 1 HIVE, 1 HIVE will be deducted from your balance and 1 HP will be added to your Hive Power. You can now vote on amazing content and help creators earn a little more HIVE for their posts.

You can keep doing this until one day you will reach whalehood.

Whalehood? what in the Wazoo are you talking about?

The amount of HP you hold gives you a sea-creature themed rank that goes from Red Fish to Whale:

there are rounded figures that will help you understand how much HP you need for each rank:

Red Fish = less then 500 Hive Power Minnow = at least 500 but less then 5000 Hive Power Dolphin = at least 5000 but less then 50,000 Hive Power Orca = at least 50,000 but less the 500,000 Hive Power Whale =at least 500,000 Hive Power and above

If you'd like to know what your rank is, you can visit hivebuzz.me

Fourth HPUD this year!

If you're interested in participating in #hpud contests organized by @traciyork, @theycallmedan, @eddiespino, you can read about the rules here:

It's here! Hive Power Up Day for April 1st 2022

We don't qualify for the contests, but still powerup every month because we believe in the HIVE blockchain and want to help promote it and make it grow.

Happy HPUD Y'all!
