What a pleasure to end the year in style with a new participation record for this last Hive Power Up Day of 2022. We also have a record of 33 participants who Power Up 1000 HIVE or more to earn the Jumbo-Bee badge.

We are delighted to see the enthusiasm around this initiative, which testifies to the good health of our platform and the confidence and investment of the members of our community.

The last [Power Up Month](/@hivebuzz/pum-202212) of the year is underway. Don't miss this last chance to add one last Power Up badge to your board.

### A few words from the PUD organizers

> In the cryptosphere, the bear continues to slumber through this crypto winter, but it doesn't seem too frosty here on Hive. Once again (and dare I say for the fourth month in a row without jinxing it) there's been a ton of excitement around Power Up Day today, and I have a good feeling about the participation numbers again for December!   🙂
>
>Seems like we're also getting new faces joining in, which I think is one of the best parts of Power Up Day - seeing newer, smaller accounts taking steps to grow their stake, which also builds their influence in the community. What a great thing to be able to celebrate the first of every month! 
>
>As always, a big THANK YOU to everyone who participated in this Power Up Day by powering up, posting, and/or shouting out on all traditional web 2.0 social media. All of those things help shine a light on the blockchain, which in turn helps to grow our community. Special thanks to @hivebuzz for always BEEing such an incredible buzz-maker for Hive Power Up Day, and for continuing to add to the blockchain fun. And here's to all the Hiveans, new and old, who continue to increase their voting power and influence on the blockchain - congratulations to you all!

Let's now take a look at how you did against the previous editions:

As mentioned at the beginning of this post, we had **552 participants** who powered up **139205HIVE**. This is a record of participation since we launched this event. It is also one of the best scores in terms of volume since January. Nothing but good news!

Let's now look at what happened with the distribution of power-ups:
