Witnesses are the silent engines powering Hive — validating blocks, securing the chain, and helping shape its future. But who are they beyond the nodes? In this ongoing series that I started a few weeks ago, I’ve interviewed key Hive witnesses to explore their visions, challenges, and hopes for the platform. Here’s a snapshot of what I have learned so far from our first five guests:
@klye
A Hive OG with a deep background in tech and crypto. KLYE emphasized radical transparency, on-chain governance, and the need for economic sustainability. He’s passionate about infrastructure and pushing boundaries others avoid.

@enginewitty
A community-first witness who values trust and transparency. Witty highlighted user onboarding, education, and engagement as essential to Hive’s longevity. He wants Hive to feel like home to new users, not a maze.

So far so good, these five witnesses that I have interviewed bring diverse skills and visions to Hive’s future and community. They share a commitment to Hive’s growth, decentralization, and community empowerment. As Hive users, our 30 witness votes are powerful — they help decide who will steward the chain forward. Make your votes count and support the voices that align with your vision for Hive’s next chapter!
