Once again, we were surprised by the enthusiasm and participation rate in this October edition of the Hive Power Up Day.

We are delighted to see how many users are participating in this initiative, which testifies to the good health of our platform and the confidence and investment of the members of our community.

What are the PUD stats for this month?

As usual, let's start first with those who choose to help others grow, the Power Up Helpers, as those are the ones who deserve the most attention.

We have 2 users who have made a power-up to another account and have thus allowed 2 people to get their PUD badge.

Together, the helpers gifted 1010 HIVE!

Here is the complete list of helpers and their donations:
@slothlydoesit (1000), @slothbuzz (10).

A huge thank you to them all for their generosity! Show them some love by upvoting one of their recent posts.

As you know, the Power Up Helper badge is now a yearly thing. Here is the list of benefactors who got the so coveted Power Up Helper badge for this year:

Hive Power Up Month Challenge - September 2026 Winners List

hivebuzz — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 03:19:39 GMT

The last edition of the Hive Power Up Month challenge is now over. Once again, this challenge has proven how difficult it is to stay committed for a whole month, even with rules as simple as:

do a power-up of at least 1 HIVE or a 100% Hive Power post every day of the month
do not powerdown

_{Este post está traducido al español - aquí}
_{Une version en français de ce post est disponible - ici}

Some stats about the challenge

Since a few months, we see a renewed interest in participating in Power Up Month. Each month, many wish to take part in the challenge but few are those who hold out until the end. This is what gives all the value to the badge they receive and justifies the delegation of Hive Power that we give them.

For the September edition, with have 34 winners. Congratulations to all of them.

Let's compare the number of winners month by month.

And now, the winners list

Among the 34 participants to have held on without failing, we have 15 users who chose the publication with a 100% HP payout option, and 19 users who preferred the power-up way.

They will soon receive their "Power Up Month" badge:

Be ready for the October edition of the Hive Power Up Month!

hivebuzz — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:19:36 GMT

As you may know, Power Up Month now takes place every month and the next edition will start tomorrow.

_{Este post está traducido al español - aquí}
_{Une version en français de ce post est disponible - ici}

Don't miss the opportunity to get your PUM badge. But don't take it for granted as many of the participants of the previous editions have admitted how difficult this challenge is.

The goal of the Power Up Month is to reward those who do regular power-ups rather than a single power-up like many users do for Power Up Day for example.

Let's go for another month!

October 1st is not only the Hive Power Up Day but also the start of a new Hive Power Up Month!

How to get the Power Up Month badge?

This new PUM challenge will start on the first day of the month and will last all month. Here are the rules:

For each day of the month, you will have 2 options:

Option 1:

you publish a post and set the payout mode to 100% HIVE.
Your post must generate a payout to be eligible (i.e. get a few upvotes)
You can't set someone else as the beneficiary of your post. It is about powering up your account.
You cannot upvote yourself

Using this option is also a good way to get the Monthly Author badge as well. ;)

Option 2:

power up at least 1 HIVE.
You cannot perform a powerdown during the month.

This option is useful if have no idea what to write about someday or just aren't a blogger at all.

You can use either option, or both, and can switch from one to the other as the days go by.

Track your progress

Go to your HiveBuzz board and click on the badge of the current Power Up Month. You will see a calendar appearing in addition to the description with all the actions you have taken that influenced your participation in the Power Up Month.

![](https://i.imgur.com/2yuZgth.png) _{_Example taken from a participant from a previous edition._}

For the current day (circled in blue) and all previous days, the following symbols may appear:

Symbol	Description
	You published a post with the 100% Hive power mode
	You made a Power Up of at least 1 HP
	A Power Down occured. This disqualifies you for this PUM

This will allow you to accurately track their progress throughout the month.

IMPORTANT:

HiveBuzz will use UTC date and time to validate post and powered-up dates. Therefore, check your timezone and convert your local time to UTC before doing so!

![](https://i.imgur.com/OOhjUQh.png)

Strictly follow the above rules and this badge will be yours!
Badges will be distributed after the end of the Power Up Month.

Be ready to Power Up!

Hive Power Up Day - October 1st 2026

hivebuzz — Sun, 27 Sep 2026 00:19:36 GMT

The Hive Power Up Day (PUD) is taking place on the first day of every month and the next one will occur in a few days, on October 1st.

The Hive Power Up Day is a good opportunity to have fun while strengthening and powering up your account. HiveBuzz allows you to collect Power-bee badges if you participate in the Hive Power Up Day and you may win Hive Power delegation from the other sponsors of this initiative.

_{Este post está traducido al español - aquí}
_{Une version en français de ce post est disponible - ici}

1. The Power-Bees levels

The more HIVE you power-up on Power Up Day, the bigger your power-bee.

![](https://i.imgur.com/eaA0I9y.png)

And here is how the levels are distributed:


	Level 1 - Power up at least 10 HIVE
	Level 2 - Power up at least 50 HIVE
	Level 3 - Power up at least 100 HIVE
	Level 4 - Power up at least 500 HIVE
	Level 5 - Power up at least 1000 HIVE

2. The Power-Up Helper

The Power-Up Helper badge allows you to get one more badge when helping others to power-up.

![](https://images.hive.blog/125x125/https://i.imgur.com/sSk3nuf.png)

TLDR; Get rewarded for the help you provide! By helping others to power up, you are showing everyone how mutual support is an important concept within the Hive community.

You can collect one PUH badge each year, which will generate a major leverage effect on the size of our delegations to you.

If you participate in the Power Up Month challenge too, the more PUH badge you have, the more important the Hive Power delegation you can receive from us. Those who have already obtained it in previous years therefore already have a significant advantage.

For more information on how to get the Power Up Helper badge, read this post.

How to get your Power Up Day badge?

You will have to power-up HIVE on the 1st day of the month.
IMPORTANT:
HiveBuzz will use UTC date and time to validate when your powered-up. Therefore, check your timezone and convert your local time to UTC before powering up! To help you not miss the moment when you can do your power-up, we added a countdown to our website.
Power-up at least 10 HIVE. This will entitle you to the smallest power-bee. The more HIVE you power up, the bigger your power-bee!
You don't have to power them up in one step. All the Hive powered up will be counted together at the end of the day.

Strictly follow these rules and this badge will be on your board!

The badges will be distributed to all successful participants at the end of the Power Up Day.

Why participate in the Hive PUD

The first reason is to have fun and get a badge!

And here are some other great reasons to power-up your HIVE:

Strengthen your influence on the blockchain with stronger votes on content, proposals and witnesses.
Earn more curation rewards. The more Hive Power you have, the more you can potentially earn back
Earn "interest" by holding Hive Power. You will also earn HIVE passively at about 3% per year of what you currently have powered up so the more HIVE you have, the more you can earn from just holding!

Finally, several amazing members are offering prizes that include delegations, Hive giveaways, and other cool stuff to the Hive PUD participants.

Be ready and Power Up!

The total amount you powered up during the PUD and the PUM.
How many PUDs in a row have you participated in
The levels of your power-ups on PUD (ex: you made two "level 3" and three "level 5" power-ups).
The number of people you helped to power-up and the amount involved.

The higher all the above-mentioned values, the higher the delegation you can receive.

Delegations winners

The Hive Power Up Month challenge ended with 0 participants successfully powering up each day of the month. They all did this in different ways but will all share receiving a delegation from us.

Remember that the more you participate in Hive Power Up Months and Power Up Helper, the bigger our delegation.
