Coming up on November 19 at 13:00 UTC (09:00 ET), our blockchain will undergo hardfork no. 28—a milestone in what’s still a relatively short journey. Short because five years in blockchain time is like toddler years in tech evolution (we hit the eight-year mark this coming January 18). For those just onboarding, a hardfork is basically a source code upgrade that reshapes how data gets written to the chain’s ledger—that’s the backbone of any blockchain. Once the fork hits, any witness node that skips the update gets booted from consensus due to code mismatch. These upgrades roll out by vote, with the top 20 witnesses calling the shot. Backup witnesses follow suit, syncing up with the new protocol to keep the network aligned.

So what’s in the update bundle? Most of the changes won’t shake up the chain’s core operations. The bulk of the tweaks target how consensus witnesses and backup witnesses handle protocol duties. If you’re looking for the deep-dive technical rundown, check out [this link](https://peakd.com/hive-110011/@aliento/proximas-actualizaciones-del-hardfork-28)—it breaks down the specs. Now, the biggest shift for content creators and curators is the overhaul of Voting Power (VP). The penalty system for vote percentage is getting axed. Let’s break down how it works today: say you’ve got 100% VP and you drop a full-power vote. That vote delivers a token payout of value x, and your VP drops by 2%, landing at 98%. Cool so far? Now, if you fire off another 100% vote right after, it’ll yield fewer tokens than the first one—because your VP took a hit from that initial vote. That’s the current setup. The hardfork flips that logic.

With the update, your VP will still drain with each vote, but the token payout per vote stays consistent. That means your first and second 100% votes drop the same amount of tokens into the reward pool—for both curators and creators. This shift leans into a fairer value model, where curatorial intent holds weight and aligns with the logic of meaningful engagement. It’s a win for everyone: the first post you support gets the same boost as the next, right up until your VP hits zero. And yes, you can vote as many times as you want in a day, even if you burn through your VP. The catch? Like always, you’ll need to wait for that VP to recharge before jumping back into the feed. That part still makes sense—it’s baked into the long-term sustainability of the chain.

Is this move financially sound? Absolutely. It works because you can’t vote endlessly—your VP runs dry. The twist is, every vote you cast at the same percentage delivers the same token value to curators and creators alike. Clean and fair. The only other change worth spotlighting is the block size upgrade. Right now, each ledger entry caps at 64 KB. Post-hardfork, we’re jumping to 2 MB per block. That’s a massive boost in data throughput, letting the chain handle way more traffic without breaking a sweat. This upgrade levels up our global community’s transaction capacity, making us more resilient when demand spikes. It’s a serious leap in reliability and scalability for what our blockchain can carry. So, dear reader—what’s your take on these changes? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
