A bit jump in the last two months
We have made a report post every two months so far and it's pretty interesting to watch at the evolution of the cumulated Hive Power of the community:
In March we had even a decrease of Hive Power, then things turned around but exploded between June and August. Since 25.6.2024, the community increased the Hive Power by 117'000! Compared to the growth since the beginning of the year which is 171'000 HP, the increase in the last two months is quite impressive.
Only 5 people have less Hive Power than at the beginning of the year
The number of people with less Hive Power than at the beginning of the year has dropped to 5 out of 73. This means that 68 people have increased their HP in 2024 !
We encourage everybody to power up Hive to grow their stake and their influence on the chain. Also it will help to scale the income in the long run!
