# HPUD Giveaway

This channel (a method of convening something) was the first way anyone could win ATX tokens and it started one month before the [hive-pubs-community](hive-pubs-community "mention")initiative. Managed and supported by [@forykw](https://peakd.com/@forykw), the **PowerUp Delegation Giveaway** is an initiative that focuses on empowering Hive users to power up Hive in the HPUD (Hive Power Up Day). Providing users read and comply with the [rules of the giveaway](https://peakd.com/hpud/@forykw/powerup-delegation-giveaway-rules), one could be entitled to win not just ATX tokens, but also an HP (Hive Power) delegation for a month.

The HPUD starts on the zero hour of the UTC time zone on the first day of each month and it runs for 24 hours. The HiveBuzz team ([@hivebuzz](https://peakd.com/@hivebuzz)) created the [https://hivebuzz.me](https://hivebuzz.me/) tool, that awards users badges for certain achievements on the Hive blockchain (alongside some potential rewards). One of the many is the HPUD achievement one, which also measures the level of your Hive Power Up (the higher the greater rewards you can get). For more details of the HiveBuzz initiative, please visit their account ([@hivebuzz](https://peakd.com/@hivebuzz)) posts on Hive.

The <mark style="color:orange;">**PowerUp Delegation Giveaway**</mark> starts on a post @forykw does (before HPUD starts) and where its curation period finishes after the HPUD day. During this period, you can prepare to acquire the minimum liquid Hive you will need to power up in the HPUD. Once this one starts, you can power up your minimum Hive and verify (via the [https://hivebuzz.me](https://hivebuzz.me/) tool for example) that your power-up is going to give you a badge (might take a few minutes after you power up). If you have Powered Up on the HPUD day, and you are not powering down, then you are **entitled to win ATX tokens**. All you need (to actually receive them) is to comment on the giveaway enabled post of @forykw where the word **ATX** is used (anywhere in that comment). This comment has to be made at any time before the curation of the respective post finishes. Make sure you check the [**PowerUp Delegation Giveaway Rules!**](https://peakd.com/hpud/@forykw/powerup-delegation-giveaway-rules) in case the rules are updated. The post usually mentions when there is an update, but do please make sure you understand it before participating.

As an additional effort of trying to enhance this HPUD initiative, @forykw started adding additional rewards to the giveaway. One of them was the addition of certain NFTs that can be purchased from the market, and that while you hold them at the draw phase of the giveaway, you will get a boost on both the delegation you can be entitled to receive if you win and with 100% sure, some additional ATX tokens (assuming you are eligible at that the draw phase).

All these details are explained on the [<mark style="color:red;">**PowerUp Delegation Giveaway Rules!**</mark>](https://peakd.com/hpud/@forykw/powerup-delegation-giveaway-rules) :smile: along with the respective NFTs and where you can acquire them.

In addition to all of this, and based on your engagement, you can also be awarded other tokens from bot commands. These depend on several requirements, depending on the bot being used and how the engagement goes. If you want to use them and need to find out more, check the account of the respective bot or contact the owner of the respective bot for more information.
