Today, we're celebrating something special: our fifth Hive Forkday anniversary! It’s not just another birthday, it’s a milestone that symbolizes our commitment to building a truly decentralized and censorship-free space.
The term "Forkday" might catch your interest if you’re only used to birthdays. So, let’s take a quick trip back in time.
Five years ago, we, the Hive community made a bold move. We decided to branch out from the original blockchain (whose name must no longer be spoken), leaving what became a centralized and censored system behind. This fork was a powerful statement of our determination to create a space that truly reflects our values.
Looking Back Over the Last Year
Once again, it's been a whirlwind year! We have gone through a roller-coaster bear and bull market. Our amazing Core Dev team tackled some pretty big challenges, supercharging the node APIs to keep our blockchain humming smoothly, revamping our front-end, block explorer and developer's API
The latest edition of HiveFest in Split was once again epic, leaving unforgettable memories for those who attended. @lordbutterfly did a great job after taking over the torch from @theycallmedan and @starkerz.
Our community is made of passionate, diverse, and dedicated people. Each one of you adds your unique skills and views, propelling Hive forward.
Sure, our growth might seem slow compared to some flashy hype-driven blockchains, but when I look at Hive’s steady march over the past five years, I’m confident about our future.
As we mark this 5th Forkday, I am very proud to be part of this community, and I’m looking forward to the next milestones and innovations that lie ahead.
A Heartfelt Thank You
I can’t miss this opportunity to express my gratitude to each and every one of you. Your passion and commitment are what power our journey. With the continued support of this incredible community, Hive’s future is bound to be as bright as its past.
Here’s to another amazing year.
Happy 5th Hive Forkday!
