Hey Pizza Crew!

Happy Sunday and Happy Superbowl Sunday for those who will be watching the game! Good luck to both camps and to everyone participating in the PIZZA pool hosted by our local lovely @theacks!

Our staking rewards program continues to issue payments on-time and without hiccup! Our engine has become incredibly powerful over the past-year and we're continuing to find ways to scale-up and improve functionality! If you didn't know, you can earn 12% APR staked and compounded every day automatically. This is just phase 1 of our rewards program and more will be introduced later.

We have quite a bit in motion right now and expect to have even more announcements and excitement for you in the next few weeks. We told you 2022 was going to be exciting for PIZZA holders and we're known for delivering on what we say so we hope you're ready, we're working on some cool stuff!

Let's jump into some of the updates we have for you this week!

Witness Update

Rank: 65/60

We are still growing in overall witness support. As you can see in the image below, if we can double our support power we will be able to attain our first milestone goal of top 50 HIVE Witness! Thank you so much to everyone who has cast a vote for @pizza.witness! If you're curious about some of the tools we've built for HIVE you can check out our recent recap here. We've onboarding more and more users to HIVE every day and introducing the world to how beautiful HIVE really is!

Game Scholarship Applications are LIVE

The first phase of Scholarships is now live and we are accepting applications for the first wave of Scholars for our Hash Kings earnings program. We will choose 10 for this first wave to help us formally test a few things and will announce those who are accepted on Friday 2/18 in our Discord server in the approval-feed channel. The form is available to fill out for Guild members and can be found in the applications channel! After the initial wave has been onboarded we will post the next application review dates. If you are not selected, do not worry! There will be many more opportunities. You can increase your chances by being an active and engaged member of our community.

The process is simple!

First, stake some PIZZA! Once you've staked your PIZZA head over to our [Discord server](discord.gg/hivepizza) and click into the **applications** channel under the **Scholarship Program** category. You'll find our Scholar form link here! It is important that you fill out each question accurately and thoroughly! Each application is manually reviewed to ensure we are accepting high-quality gamers and guild-members.

Once you've submitted your application, kick back and hang out with the Pizza community! We will announce accepted Scholars on Friday!

When you are accepted, you will receive the Scholar role in our Discord community and will gain access to the other Scholar channels. Pizza Guild Scholars will receive free land plot delegations and seeds to play Hash Kings, sharing a percentage of the earnings from each plot with the Guild! This will create a positive loop where our gamers will continue to earn while helping the Guild continue to grow.

Node Updates

We are running multiple nodes that include DLUX and SPKCC and our team is active in helping with both testing and monitoring. We have two tools that allow users to monitor nodes across both networks and have recently made improvements to both.

The tool allows users to monitor several data points such as Total Supply, Locked NFTs, Governance Information, and node information such as version, bid rates, governance supply, and more!

You can view the node monitor pages here:

DLUX Monitor: DLUX

SPKCC Monitor: SPKCC

New Discord Bot Command

We've improved Pizzabot to include a new search command. The command will listen for keywords and once received, search the HIVE blockchain for relevant material. The bot will return the first 10 results it can find and detect as relevant, displaying them to the user in an embed along with the subject name and link leading directly to the blog post.

To the right you can see the command in action.

Giveaways

If you are a PIZZA staker you have access to additional engagement rewards in our Discord server.
Giveaways take place weekly and range from PIZZA to NFTs to other game tokens!

If you are a PIZZA holder make sure you are in our Discord community so you don't miss out!

Level-Up!

We had some more incredible LEVEL-UPs happen this week! Let's check them out!

Some big moves were made by @curaton-cartel and @cryptoniusrex as they entered the Barony with @maini entering the Champions Club!

Great job guys!
