We just welcomed the fifth month of the year and a few things are happening today. It's Labor Day and being a Monday, it adds up to the weekend which makes it feel a little longer for those in the workforce.
Here on-chain, there are several things going on. These are those that I'm aware of, re:
Leo Finance UI
The most anticipated launching of the LeoFinance UI which is more focused on LeoThreads (often referred to as the Twitter on the Hive blockchain). It's been on open alpha for a while and it will be exciting to see and experience when the full features roll out real soon. I read from Khal's thread that the new UI allows one to sign up to Hive using his or her traditional social media logins (i.e. Facebook, Twitter).
Additionally, the Adoption Campaign has officially started and the quests are already up. Come aboard (you can use this link if you are yet to sign up) for a chance at the $10k USD prize pool and the 100k HP delegation for your chosen community.
Power Up Month (May)
It's the start of another Power Up Month (PUM) where we either stake HIVE daily or publish a post each day and set the payout mode at 100% Hive Power. Other conditions:
- one must not do any power down during the month,
- no self-upvote, not setting other users as beneficiary and
- post must at least have some upvotes to generate payout. Read more here.
This is a good way to build one's Hive Power consistently. It's like saving slowly. Add to that the Hivebuzz PUM badge and a chance to be rewarded with some HP delegations too.
This is going to be my 17th month streak of powering up every single day and creating contents too.
Hive Power Up Day
Yep, it's HPUD or HivePUD, the tradition that a few hundreds of us here are keeping. It's something that I personally don't want to miss so I always do it early. Speaking of, 50 HIVE has just been powered up.
That brought me to 10,100 HP at the time of this writing. I'm quite chuffed to be honest and even more motivated to keep adding to it. Like I mentioned on my SSC post, staking is my way of saving and so it continues.
The goal for the year is to reach at least 15k Hive Power. Still a long way to go but it's a journey worth-taking. Hive is home, a safe haven for me and I would like to think it's the same for most of us.
So here's to a happy new month and to many exciting things ahead! Let's keep building!
