Hardfork 28 is on the Horizon!
If you haven't heard yet about HF 28, get ready as it's closing in!
While not many major changes will be part of it, every HF carries with it some excitement, anticipation, and some risks ( though thankfully we never had issues before - here at Hive :) )
So as @gtg highlighted in his post "Brace yourself, hardfork is coming,", a testnet API is already available to test things out and hash out any potential issues.
You can dive right into the testnet and get a firsthand look at the future of Hive. This is a perfect chance to test your applications and prepare for the mainnet release.
Explore the Future with HAF Upgraded Block Explorer
For over a year, we have been committed to expanding not only HAF backend APIs (such as Proxied Accounts API, Account Balances API, Hive RichList API,...) but also building an amazing HAF block explorer, Hivescan.info, which you can now use as a portal to the Hardfork 28 testnet.
To begin your exploration, you'll need to connect to the testnet node. Simply navigate to the footer of Hivescan.info to add a new custom node.
Here’s a quick guide:
- Add Custom Node: In the footer of the page, you'll find the "Technical" section displaying the current "Hive node" and "Explorer backend API." To test the new hardfork, you can add a custom testnet node.
- Enter Testnet URL: An option to "Add Custom Node" will be available. Click on it and input the testnet API URL - https://api.fake.openhive.network.
- Switch to Provider: After adding the node, you can seamlessly "Switch to provider" to the testnet for both the Hive node and the Explorer backend API.
Make sure you perform this process for both **Hive node **and Explorer backend API links in the footer.
Our Commitment to growing Hive via HAF-based apps
For 1.5 years, we've been working on enhancing the Hive experience for users and devs. As detailed in our post, "Hive Dev Proposal 2", we've been focused on delivering robust and efficient API endpoints based on HAF-apps. Our efforts have been geared towards growing a seamless and powerful backend that benefits the entire Hive ecosystem, users and devs alike.
We are also happy to report that our backend development work / APIs will be bundled into the official HAF release 1.28
Support Our Continued Development
To continue our work on developing and maintaining HAF backend and frontend applications, we rely on your support. We invite you to support our DHF proposal.
Your vote will enable us to keep building and innovating for a better Hive for everyone.
