Hive Engagement And Rewards Distribution By Communities for 2021

avatar

backgroud1.png

Hive provides tools to build communities, tribes, apps, games and economies within them. Two of the powerful features of the Hive Network is its community building and rewarding its participants.

Since the start of the year 2021 till now Hive blockchain paid out total of $2,820,118.92 in rewards for authors and curators. In the same time period $2,395,144,06 was paid out to all posts and comments within various communities. That shows a strong engagement of participation within communities.

Using HiveSQL I have compiled a list of top 150 Hive communities with the amount of total posts and comments, and rewards paid out for authors and curators. The ranking is based on total rewards.

Numbers for GEMS and LeoFinance are super impressive.

Wouldn't be surprised about GEMS it had and still has massive Whale curator accounts and this actually drew massive engagement and more contents from people on hive and as for leofinance, apart from the growth, @leovoter was a changing factor too. Amazing how it topped in just a year of things happening with the tribe and all.
Awesome compilation over here. Welldone.

Nice list. I didn't even know about some of these communities. It is also great to see LeoFinance up in the 2nd spot is nice. Although LEO price has dropped, I still think its one of the best communities in HIVE for me.

I think it is deemed as criminal in America. Besides, you can legally shoot someone if they trespass. I'm afraid you will have to put up with reading my stuff, unless you visit England.

Urbex needs a good amount of bravery not everyone has. Especially in those countries, where it is considered as a crime.

I would like to know how you calculated the USD value of the rewards. The Proof of Brain numbers do not look right.

It would helpful if you showed the rewards by tokens and by USD value; that way folks can adjust the list on their own if they think a given token was over- or under-valued in the calculation.

Also, if you showed some stats on the median payout per post and comment (again, in tokens and USD), that would be awesome.

The reward values are only based on Hive rewards, and they don't take into account rewards in other tokens like Leo, Stem, Pal, POB, etc.

The rewards values are sums of what is normally shown via Hive front-ends like hive.blog. HiveSQL makes it easy to get those values. Those value are of course based on HBD. The USD value probably would be higher, since HBD was higher than $1 for the most part of the 2021.

I plan to create monthly stats, and will keep in mind your suggestions.

Thank You.

Thanks! The HIVE rewards themselves do not capture the true essence of each community's economic impact.

Of course, if you are only using HiveSQL, you won't get the H-E tokens (unless you parse the JSONs, which would be near impossible). It would take queries from H-E, which I don't think has any sort of SQL-based interface.

However, if you just look at the total number of H-E tokens issued by each community each month, and take into account each community's author/curator reward breakdown, you should be able to add that in.

With the growing number of communities and community tokens (and the growing cumulative valuation of H-E tokens), maybe @arcange (or someone) should develop an SQL interface for H-E 😀.

Actually HiveSQL does capture all Hive data including H-E token transactions. However, there is this issue of some transactions being recorded on Hive twice due to some error or bug on Keychain or something. So getting H-E transactions using HiveSQL is not a problem, the problem is it can't tell when there is a double record and which one is error. So the end result would not be accurate.

I did start using hiveengine api recently, and with help was able to get balances of tokens. I didn't explore it further than that yet. But it will be an interesting learning experience to do so.

Good to see Guitar made it onto the list. It is a fairly small communnity, but I see value in getting together with people who share an interest rather than just fishing for rewards.

OCD is doing good if you consider that at least 4-5 communities on the list are also curated by them.
