Top Hive Earners in 2023 | A Yearly Report | Authors, Curators, Witnesses, DAO, HBD Interest

in #hive-133987last year

Happy new year Hivers! 2023 is behind us and it’s time to take a look at the top earners for the year. Unlike the other reports that are monthly this one will be a yearly one summarizing the whole year.
Hive has multiple methods to distribute inflation that helps its token distribution and stay decentralized. With the addition of the HBD savings interest there is now a total of six ways the inflation on Hive is distributed: authors, curators, staking, witness, DHF and HBD interest.

Here we will be looking at the overall inflation distribution for HIVE, looking at the following

  • Authors rewards
  • Curators rewards
  • Witnesses rewards
  • DHF/DAO rewards
  • HBD interest
  • Cumulative rewards

Top Authors

Here is the chart for the top 20 Hive authors that earned the most in the month.

Note: These are not totally accurate numbers because there is a conversion on VESTS to HIVE, for simplification. Also some of the top beneficiaries like the hbdstabilizator, reward.app and 3Speak are excluded.

I have made a breakdown in the author and beneficiary rewards.
Author rewards are one of the most know in the blockchain as a lot of users are attract for them.

@oflyhigh is the top earning Hive author for 2023 with more than 30k HIVE equivalent earned in 2023. @erikah is on the second spot with close to 30k, followed by @tarazkp.

on the top followed by @erikah and @tarazkp.

There are around 18k accounts that have received at least one HIVE as reward in 2023. The median payout is 30 HIVE, while the average is 350.

Top Curators

Here is the chart for the top 20 Hive curators that earned the most in the month.

@appreciator is on the top here, close to 1M HIVE, followed by @ocdb with 700k and then @alpha with close to 650k.

The accounts above are the biggest curators on the Hive blockchain. Hope they will do a great job in curating and making this place grow.

Top Witnesses

The top witnesses’ earnings charts look like this.

image005.png

I have included more than 20 accounts in this chart to show the drop in earnings after the 20th spot.

The top 20 are earning the same amount of HIVE (HP), around 133k HP per year.

There seems to be a healthy competition among witness now, especially around the 20th spot.

The DHF/DAO Payouts

Accounts that received funding from the DHF/DAO in the period.

image007.png

DHF workers are paid in HBD, and the numbers above are in HBD.

A total of 26 accounts received funding in 2023.

The @valueplan account is on the top here with 1M HBD received in 2023. Its supports multiple projects and activities. Next is @peak.open with 235k and @keychain with 190k HBD. A few more accounts with more than 100k HBD earned in 2023 from the DHF. A total of 2.7M HBD was paid out to DHF workers in 2023.

Note on the special @hbdstabilizer. I have excluded this account from the here, since it is dominant on the top, but since technically it’s not keeping those funds, it is excluded from the list.

Top HBD Interest Earners

Here is the chart.

image009.png

The @lazy-panda is on the top here with 200k HBD interest earned in 2023, followed by @newsflash with 90k HBD and @alpha.

Top Earners Cumulative

From the data above we can compile the payout for a single ranking on overall top earners on the Hive blockchain in 2023.

Here is the chart.

image011.png

Note: These are not totally accurate numbers because there is a conversion on HBD to HIVE implemented, and VESTS to HIVE, for simplification.

I have separated the different earnings for the top accounts accordingly.

The @valueplan account is on the top for 2023 with 3M HIVE equivalent earner, followed by @appreciator with close to 1M. @blocktrades is in the third spot for the year, followed by @alpha.

In the top earners for 2023 most of the accounts are DHF workers and curation accounts on the top, with some HBD interest accounts as well.

All the best

I wonder the future of HBD interet payouts as a HBD saver.

Thanks @dalz I knew I had a good year, but not this good. Growing being part of a community on Hive is special and hopefully we see some new names up near the top.

Wow! I'm 53 on the top 100 author!

@tipu curate

Congrats ;)

Thank you so much for this data and statistics. You are always consistent in sharing this

It's a dream for me to earn 1k Hive a month and these wonderful authors are already earning them, Congratulations to all the stunning authers.

Nice to recognise certain names through the top 100 list.
Congrats to all!

Wow, it's great that I'm 39th on the annual list. And I had almost a month off, I'm talking about February. I hope I can keep my position in 2024. By the way, will you publish a list for December?

By the way, will you publish a list for December?

No the yearly one is sort of for December. What do you need, I migt give you some info here in the comments.

I want to check author rewards as usual 😅 I love checking the list and see my own place there :)

The interest is one of the mechanism that is Sustaining the growth of HBD. Thank you for sharing

Buenísimo, gracias por ésto!

I'm number 90 this year? Wow! Hell yeah!

Just made in the list :)

Yep I bet you this is going to be the first and last time that happens since I was demonetized. Oh well.

It’s good to know that we have people who are making cool money on Hive
I hope I get on this list someday
Kudos to them!

You have really given a detail report on activity on hive. I believe the information is very vital.

Pleas can you give more information on cumulative reward, DAO reward and witness reward am new here and I want to know more.

What do you mean?

Great report as always, good to see my name there!

The more the better!

Yea we all have to give more to get to the top.

Hi there, happy mew year. What do you mean when you say the staking is a way of distribution of the Hive inflation. What do you mean here with staking? Thanks in advance.

These annual data show very well how hive rewards do not go to the authors. In reality, they are the ones who receive the least of the entire ecosystem.

i want to congrats all the top earners

All this adds a lot to our knowledge about this platform and we see that all these people who have been working on this platform for a long time and now all these people are on this platform. Have arrived at the top.

I love reading these posts and dreaming...one day I want to be on one of those lists (not the shit list lol)...one day!!! Happy New Year!

Good work everyone and congrats to everyone on this list making enough Hive income to make this a viable project for everyone. If there was somehow we could promote this beyond Hive it would be more useful.

Wow I was happy and surprised to see myself in 36th place :)
Thanks as always for your analysis and data which are interesting but most of all useful
Happy New Year!
