Games Rewritten, Wallets Unchained—and Madrid Still on the Leaderboard
Hive’s game layer hit an inflection point this week: @risingstargame posted an official future-of-Rising-Star announcement while @keychain opened multichain closed beta—and @ninaeatshere’s Madrid meetup invite still claimed 228 HP, carrying the meetup energy from issue #82’s Alicante thread.
This is HiveToday—a weekly recap of the Hive blockchain ecosystem.
New here? Hive uses delegated proof-of-stake: token holders elect witnesses who produce blocks. You can blog, comment, and play games without paying gas on every click. The chain has been live since March 2020.
The Story of the Week: Rising Star’s Future—and a Meetup Circuit That Won’t Quit
On May 23, @risingstargame posted Important Announcement Regarding The Future of Rising Star. It is a rare official reset note from one of Hive’s oldest music games. Read the post for details—the big picture is that a flagship game is telling its story on-chain instead of going quiet.
The same week brought Splinterlands’ Electroneum × Voltage event and beta buzz from SarmacjaMundi, a strategy game that uses Hive Keychain, HBD, and Hive Engine parcels with block-hash turns.
The meetup thread from issue #82 kept rolling. @ninaeatshere’s Madrid Hive Meetup invite ranked #2 in weekly author rewards at 228 HP, with 61 comments and 1,198 votes. @enraizar’s Alicante recap still made the top ten (148 HP, 93 comments).
