With the Liotes Project, our target is to grow as a community and to help the community members to increase their stake. To do that, we have created the Liotes Power Challenge. We had the first edition in 2023, a second edition in 2024 and in January, we started the third edition of this Challenge. This is the second standing of this new challenge after about 6 months. We are half through the year!
The concept is very simple, the more Hive you power up, the better. You just do what you have been doing so far: create content, curate and grow. We will track your growth with this challenge and reward you accordingly.
How to take part?
If you are listed in the ranking below, you automatically take part. You don't need to do anything else. Simply power up as much Hive as possible during 2025. If you are not listed below and you would like to take part all the same, it's possible. You need to get into the top 50 of the liotes ranking at a later stage and you can then ask to be included in the challenge through a comment under one of our posts.
Who wins?
Everybody wins. At the end of a year we check who has grown the most over the last 12 month and the more you grew, the more you earn.
What can you earn?
For this challenge, we have a prize pot under the account 
What is new in this challenge?
We decreased the number of participants from 70 to 50 to save some time while doing these posts and adding value to the Liotes ranking. Another new thing this year is that we will include the accounts

After big decrease, we are growing again
In April, we made the first standing and we were down by 62'000 Hive power since the beginning of the year. Since then, we are almost back to that level. Since the last standing, the total hive power of the community has grown nicely and we are only 16'000 Hive power behind the starting point.
I believe, it's great to see that we have managed to turn things around and are growing again as a community. I'm sure that we will be able to have a net growth by the end of 2025!
New script to calculate the Hive Power
Since the beginning of the this challenge, I have always been collecting the data for this ranking by hand. One account after the other. Today, in 10 minutes I managed to create a script thanks to AI that does this automatically... I've been waiting a very long time for that...
P.S: 50% of the rewards of this post will go into the prize pot (
