I saw [this post](https://hive.blog/hive-197333/@coldbeetrootsoup/spellbound-triumph-hive-and-splinterlands-conquer-the-dapp-list) from coldbeetrootsoup sometimes back about voting Hive Dapps on dapplist.com and at that time I didn't know how well Hive users would turn up because it'll require them to use EVM wallets and all that.

Then I went ahead to make [this post](https://hive.blog/hive-146620/@josediccus/how-to-use-metamask-to-vote-for-splinterlands-on-thedapplistcom)

I discovered and posted a hack for users who may have difficulty voting on their mobile device.


Someone told me in the comment section that the contest has not officially begun, but I told them I was eager to vote and contribute my quota, and the reward or whatever that comes with it was secondary.


 In a little over a week. the turnout has been massive so far. I and @gadrian were one of the earliest people to vote and back then it was about 8 votes, and I honestly it felt depressing.

 It is not like we are going to win an Oscar by voting, but it could mean something. I saw some other projects with around 60 votes and all that. However, after I confirmed with Cold, they informed me that we were already at 149 votes. 

This is a significant increase from 8 votes, and while I know we can do much more, that is still a very good participation rate. 

Now, I do not really care if this participation in the voting process occurs because of promised rewards; I believe it is not a bad idea to offer rewards for participation, as community incentives for participation increase interest and so on, but we still had people participate because they were passionate about the dapps in the ecosystem.





Hive is a huge place, and we have built a community of active users who are loyal to our apps, games, and existing decentralized systems. 

These people will do anything to help the system, whether they are rewarded or not. In reality, there are Hive maxis everywhere, even though these people scares away potential users to Hive, they're core maxis and they'll support the Blockchain whatsoever and in ways they can. 

There are people developing blog plugins that will be compatible with Hive. Many people are working hard to get us more listings, and they are not asking for anything in return. I am not saying it is wrong to ask for money; after all, that is what the DHF fund is really for.

 My point is that there are more people who genuinely love Hive than the price. Price is appealing, and it is the most important onboarding factor in any project; however, we have a system that works on layer one, as well as another system that works on layer 2.



We saw this display of love and community when we forked in 2020 and Hive was born. Aside from HEX and BTC maxis, Hive maxis are probably some of the most committed and loyal people ever, and even when things do not appear to be going well on the surface, a lot of people are working hard behind the scenes.

## Thank you, everyone


So we have a community that supports the systems and dapps. Some people are already switching between Splinterlands and Hive (and vice versa) to support the products and projects we have, and even people who do not play Splinterlands are voting for the project and all that.


The current price is not reflective of the product we have, but it will not last forever. Cheers to everyone who has voted so far; it is truly amazing to see people turn out.
