![](https://i.imgur.com/zHjYI1k.jpg) This edition of the Hive Power Up Day has been absolutely AMAZING with **2.5 million HIVE powered up!!!** This is a **new all-time high record** that will be hard to beat! ### A few words from the PUD organizers ![](https://images.hive.blog/50x50/https://i.imgur.com/jJcw9QM.png) @traciyork > Happy halfway through the year 2021, everyone! > >Speaking of years, this Hive Power Up Day marks 12 months that I've been running this initiative and I couldn't be happier about how this #HivePUD has gone! I have to admit I was nervous given the timing of Hard Fork 25, but thanks to the amazing effort of our witnesses, developers, and other community members, the blockchain forked almost without a hitch. And while I don't have any actual numbers yet, I do know my GINAbot notifications have been going crazy today, as well as a busy little bee hinted that a record might be broken - what an awesome way to celebrate! > >As always, a huge thank you to everyone who participated in Power Up Day in any way, either by powering up, posting, and/or shouting out on social media. All of those things help shine a light on our blockchain home, which in turn helps to grow our community. Special thanks to @hivebuzz for always BEEing such an incredible buzz-maker for Hive Power Up Day, as well as all the other cool initiatives you do for our Hive community! ### What are the PUD stats of this month? Before going straight to the volume and participant stats, let's start first with those who choose to help others grow, the **Power Up Helpers** as those are the ones who deserve the most attention. We have **20 users** who have made a power-up to another account and have thus allowed **26 people** to get their PUD badge. Special kudos to those who were helping several accounts: @traciyork (3), @pusen (2), breelikeatree (2), notak (2) and tazi (2) Together, the helpers gifted **3787.961 HIVE**! Wow, that's a new record here too! Here is the complete list of helpers and their donation: @xyba (3000.00), @acidyo (447.00), @pusen (52.17), @penderis (50.00), @traciyork (33.33), @pizzabot (23.80), @tazi (20.00), @notak (20.00), @breelikeatree (20.00), @sydney.potts (15.00), @victoriabsb (11.93), @brittandjosie (11.72), @pegarissimo (11.01), @qwerrie (11.00), @acguitar1 (11.00), @remenzer (10.00), @melinda010100 (10.00), @dreemport (10.00), @bashadow (10.00) and @ahmadmanga (10.00).

And now, let's take a look at how you did against the previous editions: ![](https://i.imgur.com/3ffzhTD.png) Wow, the amount of HIVE powered-up this month completely squashed the values from previous months. Compared to the last edition, we have a **1557% increase** in the amount of HIVE powered up. That's absolutely insane! Congratulations to the **401 users** who together performed a power-up of **2579712 HIVE!!!** Let's now look at what happened with the distribution of power-ups: ![](https://i.imgur.com/pTW1f8K.png) Congrats to devrim newsflash (1680488), @darthknight (639433), @peakd (122523), @notak (20000), @mahdiyari (15055), @galenkp (10002), @podping (7007), @dreemport (5000), @pouchon (4000), @xyba (3400), @kerrislravenhill (2270), @derbauarbeiter (2222), @jarvie (1800), @ddrfr33k (1645), @tattoodjay (1500), @taskmaster4450 (1400), @success-full (1292), @traciyork (1111), @ewkaw (1100), @hivetrending (1089), @deepresearch (1001), @uwelang (1000), @r1s2g3 (1000), @sicarius (1000), @calatorulmiop (1000), @tarazkp (1000), @justclickindiva (1000) and @aliento (1000). They all powered up at least 1000 HIVE and got the Jumbo Power-Bee badge. ### Hive Power delegations Since the beginning of this year, we are rewarding regular participants and those who have also been generous in helping others by offering a **3 weeks Hive Power delegation**. To be eligible for a delegation: - you must have participated in this Power Up Day. - You must have performed at least 5 power-ups on Power Up Day. Power-up received from another user is not taken into account. - 4 of these 5 power-ups must have been done on the last 5 Power Up Days (including this one). To compute the amount of HP delegated to each user, we use the following criteria: * The number of power-ups performed. * The number and levels of power-ups you have performed (ex: you made two "level 3" and three "level 5" power-ups). * The number of people you helped to power up and the amount involved. This month we will delegate no less than **5083 HP** to **121 users** |User|Delegated HP| |-|-| |@traciyork|367| |@french-tech|251| |@melinda010100|197| |@forykw|155| |@louis88|153| |@ph1102|145| |@primersion|137| |@victoriabsb|133| |@bashadow|113| |@ahmadmanga|101| |@satren|100| |@revisesociology|99| |@walterjay|97| |@straykat|87| |@jongolson|83| |@ervin-lemark|82| |@brittandjosie|76| |@silversaver888|75| |@stayoutoftherz|71| |@qwerrie|70| |@tarazkp|69| |@trumpikas|68| |@trangbaby|63| |@deepresearch|61| |@arcange|59| |@elianaicgomes|57| |@muscara|56| |@schlees|55| |@ewkaw|51| |@pouchon|50| |@ksteem|50| |@jeanlucsr|50| |@dawnoner|50| |@gr33nm4ster|49| |@thatcryptodave|49| |@gregory-f|46| |@jesusalejos|46| |@richardfyates|43| |@galenkp|43| |@justclickindiva|41| |@bala41288|41| |@dalz|37| |@daltono|37| |@miriannalis|36| |@phoenixwren|36| |@hivebuzz|36| |@steevc|35| |@preparedwombat|33| |@ace108|31| |@aliento|31| |@eliezerfloyd|31| |@successchar|30| |@jarvie|30| |@alexvan|28| |@goldkey|28| |@manorvillemike|27| |@starstrings01|27| |@plantstoplanks|27| |@johannpiber|27| |@valerianis|26| |@shasta|24| |@indextrader24|24| |@cmplxty|24| |@bil.prag|23| |@friendlymoose|23| |@bozz|22| |@arrliinn|22| |@elikast|22| |@mark3004|21| |@bitandi|21| |@melbourneswest|20| |@thehockeyfan-at|20| |@darth-azrael|20| |@bhattg|20| |@ryivhnn|19| |@deerjay|19| |@jaster|19| |@manuvert|18| |@libertycrypto27|18| |@borjan|17| |@janasilver|17| |@kerrislravenhill|15| |@holovision|15| |@fionasfavourites|15| |@manoldonchev|14| |@erikklok|14| |@chaodietas|13| |@imfarhad|13| |@niko.lemark|11| |@faffy|11| |@paxjulia|11| |@irisworld|11| |@nenio|10| |@irvinc|10| |@papilloncharity|10| |@rmach|10| |@harpreetjanda|10| |@handofzara|10| |@josediccus|10| |@tobetada|9| |@alenox|9| |@juanvegetarian|9| |@evagavilan2|8| |@txatxy|8| |@darth-cryptic|8| |@steampunkkaja|8| |@marivic10|8| |@malomi|8| |@savvyplayer|7| |@khan.dayyanz|7| |@ahmadmangazap|7| |@retrodroid|7| |@hairyfairy|7| |@jfang003|7| |@desro|6| |@dkmathstats|6| |@rozku|6| |@edgerik|5| |@aiziqi|5| |@damarysvibra|5| |@dickturpin|5| Congratulations to all of you! ## See you on August 1st for the next PUD! |**Support the HiveBuzz project to keep it entertaining!**| |-| |[Vote for the proposal on PeakD](https://peakd.com/me/proposals/147)
