Hive Thrive Returns with @mcfarhat & Special Guest Host @meno
We’re back with another edition of Hive Thrive, our weekly dive into the builders and brains behind the Hive blockchain. This week, we’re thrilled to welcome @mcfarhat, co-founder of Actifit and a major force in Hive’s infrastructure development. And joining us as guest host is none other than @meno, bringing his sharp insights and thoughtful perspective to the conversation.
Originally scheduled for 2 weeks ago, this session is now happening at the perfect time—and we’ve got even more to dig into.
⸻
🧠 About our guest, @mcfarhat:
Whether it’s empowering users to earn through movement or crafting the core tools that power Hive’s backend, @mcfarhat wears many hats in the ecosystem. His work spans:
• 📱 Actifit – Hive’s original Move-to-Earn dApp, constantly evolving to reward activity and engagement
• 🛠️ HAF – The Hive Application Framework, including key tools like the HAF Block Explorer UI, Balance & Reputation Trackers, and Denser UI (the upcoming replacement for Hive.blog)
• 🌐 Open Source Contributions – Focused on scalable, decentralized interfaces and infrastructure tools for developers and users alike
⸻
🔍 What we’ll explore:
• Where Actifit is headed, and how it continues to innovate around health and Hive
• How the HAF toolset is unlocking new frontends, better analytics, and more reliable indexing
• Why @mcfarhat’s team is invested in both the backend (HAF, APIs) and frontend (Denser, block explorers) of Hive
• What the future looks like for Hive-powered apps, data layers, and community-owned platforms
⸻
As always, we’ll be taking live questions from the audience and wrapping with a community hangout—so bring your curiosity, your camera, or just your keyboard.

What is the Hive Thrive?
Here at Hive Thrive we see a real gap between devs, projects, witnesses, community leaders, and everyday Hive users. There are so many people looking to feel more connected, engaged, and informed—and we want to bridge that gap. This show is about:
✅ Learning about the Hive Blockchain
✅ Sharing what what’s available to use or being worked on
✅ Exploring where Hive is headed (or could be)
✅ Identifying roadblocks—and, more importantly, finding solutions
✅ Fostering constructive and proactive discussions
✅ Providing another space for the community to engage
