Once again, we were surprised by the enthusiasm and participation rate in this July 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.

The Power Up Month is underway. Remember that you can also earn a Power Up Month badge.

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 8 users who have made a power-up to another account and have thus allowed 11 people to get their PUD badge.

Special kudos to those who helped several accounts:
@coolmidwestguy (2), @happyphoenix (2), @reiseamateur (2).

Together, the helpers gifted 161.1 HIVE!

Here is the complete list of helpers and their donations:
@haastrecht (50), @reiseamateur (22), @coolmidwestguy (20), @happyphoenix (20), @beesmartblog (19), @yeral-diaz (10.1), @amigoponc (10), @youloseagain (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:
