(Edited)

Welcome to the monthly analytical report about the Hive blockchain.

All the information presented in this report is based on the data collected from the blockchain until 2024-10-31 midnight UTC. This report aims to provide you with a clear view of what is happening on the Hive blockchain.

1. New users

This chart shows the number of newly registered users on the blockchain and how many of them became active. The chart is kind of dynamic! A user can register one day and become active a few days later. Therefore, the number of active users on a specific date may change from day to day.

These two graphs show who created new accounts during the last day and the total number of registered accounts. The red line shows how many of them have been active at least once (active meaning publishing a post, commenting or voting). They are included even if they become inactive later.

2. Active users

These graphs show the activity of users over time and in more detail the last 30 days. In these graphs, "active users" are those performing any type of transaction on the blockchain.
The last graph is a monthly summary of the active users. Be careful when interpreting the value of the last column which can be much lower if the end of the month has not yet been reached.

3. Apps

This graph shows which applications are most used to publish posts and comments. Please note that the same user can use several different applications.

This graph shows which applications generate the most activity (custom_json operations) on the blockchain.

4. Posts And comments

These graphs show the evolution of posts and comments for the whole blockchain lifetime and the last 30 days.

5. Curation

These graphs show the evolution of curation (upvotes) for the whole blockchain lifetime and the last 30 days.

6. Daily transactions

These graphs show the number of transactions per day, and the highest number of transactions per block, the average number of transactions per block, and the number of transactions per block for the last 48 hours. This gives you an idea of the whole activity on the blockchain.

This graph shows the distribution of the top 10 types of transactions by number of operations performed on the blockchain.

7. Communities and Tags

This graph shows the communities with the most subscribers.

These graphs show the most active communities by number of posts (blockchain lifetime and last day).

These graphs show which main tags have been the most used for publishing posts for the whole blockchain lifetime and the last day.

8. Distribution
< ~589 HP>= ~589 HP>= ~5881 HP>= ~58809 HP>= ~588085 HP

These graphs show the number of users according to their Hive Power. The left graph shows the distribution without taking into account any delegation made or received by the accounts. The right graph takes into account delegation, adds received HP delegation and subtracts given HP delegation.
The grey part of each column indicates how many accounts are inactive (those who have not posted, commented or voted the last 30 days).

This graph shows the distribution of Hive Power cumulated per account level. The left graph shows the distribution without taking into account any delegation made or received by the accounts. The right graphs take into account delegation, adds received HP delegation and subtracts given HP delegation.

The grey part of each column indicates unused Hive Power by inactive accounts (see above the definition of inactive).
Below each column, you will also see a ratio to all existing Hive Power.

9. Payouts

This graph shows the highest reward paid on a post (or comment) for the last 30 days.

These graphs show the total of the distributed payout (posts and comments) for each day.

These graphs show the average and median payout per post for the last 30 days.

I hope you find those stats useful. If you would like to see additional stats, feel free to drop me a comment. Your feedback is welcome.

Thanks for reading.

These are awesome I love your reports. I wonder what constitutes a custom json operation.

Thank you for your feedback @allentaylor!

A custom_json operation is a flexible way to store and process data that isn't covered by standard operations. It's often used by applications to record actions like game moves, social interactions, or any kind of custom data specific to their app. This allows developers to extend the functionality of the blockchain beyond its core features.

Cool. Thanks for the explanation. That helps me understand what's happening.

It looks like a few people have levelled up their HP. We just need more active generally. It's good content and engagement that keep them coming back as well as the rewards.

Yes, the HP increase is a sign of growth and commitment. However, fostering an active community is crucial for long-term success. We need more engaging content and meaningful interactions even if rewards play a significant role.

this will never happen with long form blogging
and Hivewatchers

other chains are catching up to us and if we don't change the reward structure these trends will continue

Now that I've had the chance to look at this on my laptop and really look at the graphs, I have a few observations.

  1. It appears that Hive-Engine is the most active dapp with regard to custom json operations, garnering almost half of them while the custom json operations account for more than half of the transaction types on the blockchain. I'm guessing these operations are mostly people transferring or buying/selling tokens on the blockchain. Would that be correct?
  2. LeoFinance and Actifit seem to be the most active communities relative to the number of community members.
  3. Inactive Red Fish account outnumber active Red Fish accounts, which means people sign up and then leave without much engagement. We've got to figure out a way to turn that around.
  4. Something happened in 2021 that caused a downward trend in daily transactions. What was it, and what can we do about it?
  5. The HP distribution breakdown is really telling. One thing I'd like to see is the distribution of HBD interest rewards. I think you've reported on this in the past. What kind of HBD interest rewards are people earning by account level?

Awesome stuff. Keep up the good work!

I can't answer that question as I have never analyzed the HE transactions.

Something happened in 2021 that caused a downward trend in daily transactions. What was it, and what can we do about it?

Splinterlands was one of the main drivers of transaction growth. I guess that after the initial hype, players got bored and unfortunately Splinterlands didn't find a second wind.

What kind of HBD interest rewards are people earning by account level?

I'm not sure such an analysis would be relevant, especially because several people have created a separate (low-level) account for HBD savings.

That's interesting. Why would they do that?
