Microblogging site DBuzz, a Philippine-born decentralized social media platform on the Hive blockchain, recently celebrated a significant achievement. Since its inception, and over the past six months, they have fulfilled their commitment to open-source all their code for community access.
The DBuzz team expressed profound gratitude to the Hive community for enabling them to expand their influence and presence in the Philippines and across Asia.

This increased visibility led to coverage in 119 news articles from 30 news agencies. Furthermore, since June 2023, DBuzz has released six detailed development reports showcasing their ongoing progress and contributions to the field.
During the past six months, the DBuzz Team of developers was supported by the DHF in the operations and maintenance of the decentralized social media platform.
The Decentralized Hive Fund (DHF) is a proposal-based Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) financing alternative. It places the consensus behind direct financing of development and other ecosystem-positive projects into the hands of the stakeholders. DHF distribution is decentralized by design; support for a proposal is calculated based on the total stake supporting that proposal.
