Hive is alive, and this is Hive Today.

Hive Today is a weekly newsletter for the decentralized Hive network. Hive is a blockchain-based social app platform. This newsletter provides a summary of Hive apps and games development news. Thank you for reading and sharing.


The biggest Hive story in recent weeks is the SPK Network. Two weeks ago, @threespeak team released the SPK Network Light Paper. The paper outlines a protocol and a number of different tokens for mining, network fees, and governance. The miner tokens will be "claim dropped" to Hive holders at some point (TBD). On Monday, May 17th at 8am PST, an AMA will be held on Telegram (https://t.me/spknetwork).

Hive is home to a growing number of blockchain games. Here's a quick summary of updates for Hive games.

Also, the daily DEC rewards pool size has changed to dynamically adjust with the market price of DEC. The rewards pool will grow or shrink based on how far the price deviates from $0.001 / DEC.
