How to present facts with a smile

Sometimes, yes sometimes, something completely unexpected happens in a moderation.

You're sitting with a panel of worldwide Hive experts on stage and you expect a discussion about deep technical details, about the next upcoming facts and much more.

But then you realize that already after just a few words the whole thing completely goes off the rails - not negatively, but simply in the fun direction.

That's exactly what happened in Kuala Lumpur at the CoreDEV panel of the hive blockchain.

Honestly, take the time to watch the panel yourself, form your own opinions, and follow the discussion as it unfolds to discover what the global experts truly have to say

Enjoy the fun we had breaking the ice.

What matters most to me is that this beginning wasn’t planned at all; it happened spontaneously in that moment through several people on stage. That’s what makes it so unique and special for me, the chance to interact with these amazing individuals in such an authentic way.

A big thank you to @gtg for creating these unplanned moments of fun, and thanks to @blocktrades and @crimsonclad for embracing this unique experience.

Sure, I will never forget this!

Enjoy the epic start of the first discussion panel

With such a big smile, I can’t help but watch the beginning over and over again.
But please make sure to watch the entire discussion and explore all the exciting new features.

Facts

Top 8 Key Features & Announcements for Hive.
All this made from the content of the transcript.

1. Launch Date Confirmed

Hardfork 28 will go live on November 19, 2025.
The upgrade has been tested 5-6 times on mirror net to ensure stability.​

2. Improved Voting System

Voting power will remain consistent until fully depleted, replacing the current system where each subsequent vote has less power.
This makes the experience more intuitive for users.​

3. Extended Transaction Window

Transaction expiration extended from 1 hour to 24 hours, making multisig operations much more practical when multiple parties need to sign.​

4. Light Accounts for Easy Onboarding

Users can create accounts using social logins (Google, Facebook) without managing keys. These second-layer accounts can be upgraded to full Hive accounts later, dramatically simplifying onboarding.​

5. Custom Authorities

Apps and games can create specialized permission keys (like a "game key") that only work within their ecosystem, improving security by limiting key exposure.​

6. Enhanced Security Model

Higher-level keys (active, owner) can no longer be used for lower-level actions (posting), preventing accidental key exposure in frontend applications.​

7. Second Layer Atomic Transactions

Introduces atomic transactions at the second layer, allowing multiple operations to succeed or fail together, matching first-layer capabilities.​

8. Developer Tools: WAX & Swagger

New WAX library simplifies development, while Swagger provides interactive API documentation that lets developers test functions in real-time without reading extensive documentation.​
