Yep… it’s that day again. Hive Power Up Day! 😄
By now, those who follow me probably expect this little tradition every 1st of the month.

For those in the Splinterlands community who aren’t familiar — HPUD (Hive Power Up Day) is a monthly event where you power up at least 10 HIVE on the first day of the month. That’s it. Easy.

You’ll get a shiny badge from HiveBuzz just for participating — and honestly, it’s a fun way to grow your Hive stake, show some Hive pride, and engage with the community.

Since February, I’ve been doing this every month, and I gotta say… it’s kind of addicting collecting those little digital badges. 😄

HiveBuzz takes it even further — you can earn extra badges for:

• Posting 100% Hive Power posts
• Powering up daily (PUM = Power Up Month)
• Being a Hive Helper and supporting others

• 🐝 Hive Helper
• 🔁 Power Up Month

🧡 Paying It Forward (x2!)

Just like last month, I’m continuing the tradition of giving back — but this time, twice over thanks to the generosity of @coldbeetrootsoup. I won their 10 HIVE giveaway, together with the earning of last HPUD, I have decided to pay it forward to two new members in the Splinterlands community.

🎉 This month’s Hive Love goes to:

@hkemomar — our newest recruit in Team Possible, already asking questions and engaging with the guild!
@ladysharon — I saw her actively participating and asking questions during @bronzedragon’s stream. Love to see it!

Each of you just got a small welcome gift of 10 HIVE powered up in your name. Hopefully, it gives you a boost — and a little extra motivation to explore what Hive can offer beyond Splinterlands.

Helping New Players Understand Hive 🧠

Splinterlands is built on Hive — and while many of us come here just to battle and earn, there’s a whole world to discover.

To help new players get started, I wrote a guide on how you can start blogging, earn rewards, and participate in fun weekly contests:

👉 Grow your Splinterlands + Hive journey — the blogging way

Just a reminder: this is simply a donation, no strings attached. I just love doing this. It’s fun, it helps others, and yeah… those cool HiveBuzz badges don’t hurt either. 😎
