The long-awaited Hardfork 24 will be activated very soon as more and more witnesses have updated their nodes with the latest v1.24 Eclipse code.

In [my previous witness post](https://peakd.com/witness-category/@arcange/witness-update-202009), I mentioned my aim to provide the Hive network with an additional public API node. It's now done!

I'm pleased to announce the availability of a new API node running the latest HF24 Eclipse code.

It is available right now for app developers and end-users at

### https://hive-api.arcange.eu
<br>
My Hive nodes run on servers with:

- Intel(R) Xeon(R) E-2236 CPU @ 3.40GHz processors
- 64GB DDR4 memory
- High-End NVMe disks (capacity ranging from 100Gb to 4 TB)

### What's next

If my API node should be faced with a heavy load, I have spare resources to set up additional servers in order to offer advanced load-balancing and failover services.
