We are finally growing again!
During the first months, throughout the whole community there was more Hive Powered down than powered up. However, we have finally managed to turn this around. At the beginning of this challenge, all participants together owned 1'237'335 HP. Today, we collectively own 1'242'393 Hive Power. This is an increase of 5'058 HP over the first four months of 2024.
Only 10% are powering down
Of the 73 people that are ranked, only 7 have a negative evolution of Hive Power. This means that 65 people have increased their hive power since the beginning of the year!
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!
