HiveToday 80 - Show Your Work: PeakD, Hive Keeper, and Momentum Across the Stack
Two posts from PeakD’s 
This is HiveToday, a weekly newsletter covering the Hive blockchain ecosystem. If you're new here: Hive is a delegated proof-of-stake chain built for social apps, with feeless and near-instant transactions. It's been live since March 2020.
Editor's Take
Three things stood out. First, reward flow still said “show me what you shipped.” Two PeakD changelog-style posts from
The Story of the Week: PeakD and Ecency Set the Pace
@asgarth’s PeakD updates from the last two weeks led the week’s payouts (~382 HP, 1.3K votes). A companion piece, Security fixes... pretty much everywhere this week, landed fourth (~248 HP). Together they frame a through-line that Hive keeps proving in public: users reward teams that document releases and own incidents.
On the Ecency side, Introducing Hive Keeper became its own centerpiece (~234 HP, 22 comments) — positioned alongside the Mobile 3.5.4 and Web 4.3.8 posts already in ship rhythm. For readers tracking “where Hive UX is headed,” that’s a clean signal: wallet and onboarding craft aren’t side quests; they’re the main quest.
If you read HiveToday #79 — Keepers, Keys, and Fake Support, treat this week as the constructive counterweight: real products posting real updates, in the same stretch that reminder posts about custody still matter.
Development Pulse
GitLab activity on gitlab.syncad.com delivered balance_tracker and reputation_tracker upgrades with aligned beekeepy releases; haf_api_node merged health-check port exposure for Hivesense, indexer, status, and proxy services, plus a pinned OLLAMA default; Hivesense fixed a path where a struggling Ollama backend could hang interactive search and starve autovacuum. That’s operator-visible shipping — tighter deps, clearer operability, and faster recovery when AI-side services wobble.
Ecosystem GitHub: Holozing1/hivescrobble is the open codebase behind Scrobble.life —
HiveDevs (hive-139531): @cutehive.com launched Hive Top Holders for whale-scale visibility; @hdev shipped HivePulse v1.5.0 (Hive-Engine assets, node controls); @thecrazygm documented MagnetBank’s Neon monorepo cutover and introduced Go4Hive (Gopher spirit back on-chain); @sagarkothari88 kept the daily cadence on HiveReactKit, hSnaps, hCurators, and adjacent stack; @aftabirshad laid out HivePostify as AI-native posting for users who have never touched mainstream AI tools.

Network Stats
| Metric | This Week |
|---|---|
| HIVE price (CoinGecko) | ~$0.060 |
| HIVE market cap (supply × spot) | ~$32.5M |
| HIVE supply (tokens) | ~541.1M |
| CoinGecko rank | #652 |
| HBD print rate | 0 (minting still suppressed) |
| HIVE powered up (7d) | ~609,523 HIVE |
| HIVE powered down (7d) | ~541,315 HIVE |
| Net stake change (7d) | ~+68,208 HIVE |
HBD explained: Hive Backed Dollars are Hive’s dollar-pegged token in the reward and savings economy. Protocol settings still care about debt limits relative to the HIVE supply; print rate at zero means the chain is not issuing new HBD via that lever right now — authors see the effect in how rewards behave. For face-value vs trading nuances, wallet dashboards and explorers remain the reader-friendly source — don’t mix up the 20% minting threshold with the 30% haircut story.
Powering up: More HIVE moved into stake than moved out in the last seven days — modest net inflows after a stretch where down-volume sometimes dominated.
Governance
Twenty of the top 21 witnesses report v1.28.3; 
Funded DHF lines (above the return proposal) continue to back VSC, retro ecosystem ops, Keychain, open-source expansions, Hive dev proposal #2, Ecency maintenance, Worldmapping 2.0, and Hivewatchers + Spaminator — the treasury layer that makes many of these project beats possible week after week.
