# Ready to join the DeVault community yet? We're over 1 year old!

Today we are celebrating the #DeVault 1 year genesis block anniversary and have a body of contests, tipping programs as well as simple giveaways that will be occurring over the next 30 days to not only celebrate but further distribute the #DeVault blockchain to would be users. If you don't know what DeVault is, we are basically a community of freedom loving crypto enthusiasts who place a focus on not only open source money, but also fair community governance and rewarding holders with the #ColdRewards feature that lets anyone, even those without a full node wallet the ability to earn passive income on their holdings.

#### Over the past year we have spent much of the time garnering a small vocal community while developers have worked on many projects that include:
- Cold Rewards feature (interesting bearing UTXOs)
- Custom YIIMP pool
- Electrum Desktop wallet (DeLight)
- Reworked hundreds of thousands of lines of code after BCH fork.
- Revamped Core Wallet with added functionality such as Cold Rewards.
- DeVault MobileElectrum Wallets
- DeVault.Online voting + social platform
- Quite a few dependencies such as BitCore and it's supplemental tech such as SockServe 
- Human Readable DVT address with DeVaultID.com ($jack342)
- plus alot more smaller projects.

...Not to mention Spock is currently working on an innovative new way to aggregate transactions in a manner that could very well be a new take on privacy in crypto, but time will soon tell and the community will ultimately be in charge of voting these changes in.

Thats plenty for the intro lets get to the meat..

Details: 500,000 coins will be distributed to various DAO members to distribute in the HIVE ecosystem from various methods such as giveaway posts, tipping people for DVT content, commenting for tips or even simply fun games designed to engage various people in many unique ways, this should ensure we don’t end up tipping the same small groups of people on all platforms.
