Welcome to another edition of the Pizza Witness Update! The PIZZA project continues to grow and evolve in various ways to set new standards and to be a role model for strong communities. We're nearing 5,000 Guild Members, crossed over 10k wallet holders, and our daily community engagement continues to grow! We have seen a large increase in onboarding to HIVE occurring through the PIZZA community and we're excited to see the growth other communities and game projects have enjoyed through our strong partnerships. We intend to continue growing these and working with those who are interested and align with our objectives and values on HIVE. This year is moving quickly and we are covering a ton of ground! We're excited about some of the things we'll mention today and for some of the other things we're working on for upcoming project updates! With that said, let's hop right in and check out just some of the great things going on over at the PIZZA project!
# Witness Update - Rank: 62 / 58 We're getting extremely close to our next RANK UP! Thank you so much to everyone who has cast their support for @pizza.witness Witness Account! Your support means the world to us and is helping us attain our goal of top 50! ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/thebeardflex/23tRt5JKakGNwgLk7gQXD8MFLUiqKgvDLucZem5QAZ83TpEEybVhCv4s8Nu3MYJySGZrZ.png)
# Bot & Site Development Updates
- A Note Regarding our operation of nodes: - Pizza Project is now operating and maintaining nodes for 5 different chains. Hive + 4 side-chains. Contact @hivetrending if you are interested in PIZZA being a validator or tester for your side-chain!
- Ragnarok Updates - New Pizzabot (Discord Edition) commands for RagnarokClaimChain: - !duat - !duatnodes - A data monitor for the Ragnarok network has been set up at https://hiveuprss.github.io/duatmonitor/. - pizza.duat node set up for Ragnarok network
- There have been several other behind-the-scenes updates for our Discord bot that help us moderate and maintain a clean atmosphere!
- We've been working on a pretty cool update for the [hive.pizza](https://hive.pizza) website that should be ready in the next couple of weeks! - This is more of a teaser than anything! 😜 That's all ya get on this one!
# Burning Za Game - We are very happy to announce the Alpha prototype of our upcoming paint game. Burning Za (you've heard of burning 'man'?) is a pixel paint game where users capture pixels. This can be manipulated to create art, draw advertisements, or to even troll your friends. The prototype version of our newest dApp is a 30x30 grid fully built on the HIVE blockchain that will showcase current features such as capturing and painting a pixel which costs 0.02 PIZZA (transacted through Keychain). - We have also built automation into our community [Discord server](https://discord.gg/hivepizza) so participants can monitor when others are engaging the dApp. It will even capture snaps of the board progress throughout the day! We intend to implement more features that you're probably already thinking about very soon! - We invite you to come try the alpha prototype and let us know what you think! You can check it out at https://arcade.hive.pizza! Here is a sneak peak of some of the art that was created while working together! Take note, the signature at the bottom was the result of another participant capturing the pixels of a previous participant and manipulating the signature to be his name instead. This has tons of potential for future battles or ad placements at PIZZA. Note: At the time of this post, it looks like the signature at the bottom has actually already been taken back over by another user! A total of 35.78 PIZZA has been burned so far by participants.

# Community Updates - Shield Team

https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/thebeardflex/Ep1YR8n9wTUpqGEog8GF9HEjNiSHGcgH3KN5Dg9GRtRHDEJ8QeztvNPG4SnavHYroog.png

As our community grows so does the need for additional moderation and assistance with day-to-day tasks. This past month we launched our Shield program. The Shields help us maintain a clean and safe community while also jumping in to both lead and assist with various other things that help make PIZZA what it is today. This marks a milestone as we acknowledge the Pizza continues to grow beyond what we ever imagined and shows no signs of slowing down! We want to thank our Shield now ( @nane-qts @hurtlocker and @theacks ) and our Shields in the future for all of the help and for the dedication they have to the vision and to the community.
