On this glorious chain. Though, I cannot take all the credit. The people over @privex like fellow witnesses @deathwing and mainly, @someguy123, were really workable and on point with their service. Which, allowed me to signal HF25 in the middle of my scheduled blocks! So, that was pimpin' at its finest. Big shout out to dem fellaz ova thar. Props to @blocktrades for keeping an open mind and ear to the community's voices. Also, big ups to @guiltyparties for pushing so hard to start marketing Hive on a grand scale and continuing what we were aiming to do with the original proposal for #hivetips. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ4zcR4mQu4

### The Main Things **1) Interest** **2) Governance** **3) Curation** All of which can be found in more detail in [this post I wrote a few weeks ago](https://peakd.com/hive-102930/@enginewitty/everbody-loves-a-good-hard-fk). You can also read up on it in [this post here](https://peakd.com/hive/@hiveio/hive-hardfork-25-is-on-the-way-hive-to-reach-equilibrium-on-june-30th-2021) from @hiveio. There are links to the technicalities in that one if you so choose to learn the full scope of this fork. Those main three things up there though, are what primarily concerns most of the community and their normal practices. - *You now gain **interest** on any **HBD IN SAVINGS** (at the time of this post, it is a 7% yearly APR)* - really love this part of the fork as I believe it will attract new users and investors once the word is out and provides an incentive to hodl our tokens + they don't have to vote on anything! - *There is a 12 month expiration on **governance** action (witness voting, proxies and proposals)* - this has finally come to fruition after seeing it be talked about for literally years and hopefully will improve the community's interaction and participation in our blockchain. - *There is now a 24 hour window for equal **curation** for everyone (removing the mad-rush 5 minute window)* - this is huge as people will no longer 'regret' missing a great post and giving it the full attention it deserves while at the same time - getting the most out of your reward for honoring a creator's work and - will also breathe new life in to curation trails. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr9nfTqfQeA

### Wait, Marketing? Ya! You know how I do. Mad Hatter illogical magic and all. A quiet whisper here, a little nudge there, we're getting the word out. You remember the run for StakingRewards.com? We ultimately did get listed on there (well done @guiltyparties) and I personally think that site is going to be a go to for investors moving forward. It's about the returns and seeing as to how we just added a very competitive feature in our wallets? Ya. [Check it out](https://www.stakingrewards.com/journal/hive-partnership). There are some ways you can help out right now - on top of following [@traciyork](https://twitter.com/TraciYorkWriter), [@hiveio](https://twitter.com/hiveblocks), [@nathanmars](https://twitter.com/NathanMars7) or [@hiro-hive](https://twitter.com/hiro_hive) over on Twitter. In addition to tinkering on IG following [hiveblocks](https://www.instagram.com/hiveblocks/), [The Crypto Pimp](https://www.instagram.com/enginewitty/), [@saffisara](https://www.instagram.com/olsson8258/) or [@wesphilbin](https://www.instagram.com/wesphilbin/). You can check out Ranker! @shadowspub made a post you can [find here](https://peakd.com/thealliance/@shadowspub/vote-for-hive-on-ranker) and we are also in the running over on Crypto Awards for [blockchain technology](https://cryptoawards.com/nomination/blockchain-technology/). Stop over there and support it! It's going outside of the Hive ecosystem itself, that gets people to notice Hive. Sure, they might organically stumble across some woopass article you wrote on financial insights or your sweet movie review, but to really get us seen? That will take putting us in plain sight. Let's see more bumper stickers and t-shirts and hats and coins! I'm waiting to see a Hive silver round or bar from the #silvergoldstackers. A bar would be killer, I'd probably buy at least 20 of them. Point is, people aren't going to know if you don't talk about it so, go talk about it 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfobiCq0YUc

#### In Closing Thank you to all my loyal supporters!!! Mad props to all the people that played around on the testnet to work out the kinks prior to dropping HF25. The official date for the fork is ***tomorrow*** and I have made a few slight changes to my own witness, primarily the interest rate. I bumped it up from 2.5% to 7.5% as promised. I will be working on the @weedcash.network witness later this evening and should have that primed and ready by tomorrow for the switch. REMEMBER TO BE YOU! I always am, even when I'm just forking around.
