Welcome to May! HiveFest XI just got its save-the-date — Barcelona, September 17–20 — with ChainCulture back on the schedule. On the core side, the 1.28.6 release rolled out across node, HAF, hivemind, witness tools, and Denser in one coordinated step, 3Speak landed OpenPods inside the desktop app, and Hive Keychain's EVM bridge is in the wild. Plenty of fresh ground for newcomers to land on. Still punk rock. Still building. Still here. Let's find some great new plankton to support.
Winners of the Contest April 2026 Edition
Congratulations to the winners of the April prizes. Each of these Hiveians receives a 1-month, 500 HP delegation from me. Here are the recipients:
Rules for the next round
Again, this is an opportunity to nominate a new Hiveian to receive a delegation. The nominator and nominee will earn a 500 Hive Power delegation from me. I can accept up to 5 monthly nominations, totaling 5,000 HP (5 * 2 * 500).
The rules:
- Each nomination must be in the form of a post in the HivePizza on-chain community.
- Explain why the new-bee should be chosen for support in the post.
- You can only win once per month.
- You are not allowed to nominate yourself.
- Avoid nominating someone who won before.
The hiver you nominate must:
- have less than 500 HP
- have created their Hive account in the last six months
- be reasonably active on-chain (posting or commenting weekly or better). It can be anywhere on the chain, in any community.
- not delegate a majority of their HP to other accounts
