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 attracted to them.
@oflyhigh is on the top followed by @cryptoandcoffee.
There are around 8k accounts that have received rewards in September 2024. The median payout is 7 HIVE, while the average is around 100 HIVE.
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, followed by @alpha and @blocktrades.
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.
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 around the same amount of HIVE (HP), around 12k per month.
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.
DHF workers are paid in HBD, and the numbers above are in HBD.
A total of 20 accounts received funding in September 2024.
The @valueplan account is on the top here followed by @splinterlands, @vsc.network, @keychain, @leofinance, @ecency etc. A total of 235k HBD paid from DHF in September 2024.
Note on the special @hbdstabilizer. I have excluded this account from the here, since it is dominant on the top, with 370k HBD received in the month, but since technically it’s not keeping those funds, it is excluded from the list.
Top HBD Interest Earners
Here is the chart.
The @lazy-panda is on the top here with 24k HBD, followed by @newsflash and @investegg. The HBD interest rate has been changed from 20% to 15% in August.
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 September 2024.
Here is the chart.
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.
Splinterlands is on the top for September as a DHF funds receiver, followed by @valueplan and @lazy-panda as HBD interest receiver.
The DHF funds receivers are dominating the top earners now.
All the best

I made the top 100 this time, but that's down to some Hivefest posts doing well. We need to get a broader spread of rewards as some good content is not earning. We can't rely on auto votes and trails.
That's a fact! I try to do my part by tipu curating quality, new content whenever I come across it ✍
Yep so true.
Fully agree!
Been a while I've been on the list!
Trying to post a bit more consistently from now on.
Congrats acid! :)
I’m on the list. How nice! 😍
Congrats!
Thanks 🤗🤗
Congratulations to the top achievers mentioned here, most of whom I am familiar with through the years as well as Hiveans new to me I need to learn more about!
This is good information but I was wondering, how can I find out who has the highest curation apr %? It occurred to me that it might not necessarily be one of the larger accounts that has the highest dollar or Hive value for it's curation. I hope I'm explaining this right.
I'm not surprised by some of the names I see on this list. They are amazing authors and contents creators.
Interesting data! I see some familiar names on the top rewarded author list, but most are new to me. Will have to check them out.
Both @oflyhigh and @cryptoandcoffee are awesome authors and there is no comparison with lazy panda when it comes to HBD payout.
Lazy panda is a very big HBD investor
Love that!
Glad to see my buddy @bozz on this list!
Every post of yours has always increased our knowledge. Before we don't know all these things. After reading your post, we know who is currently number one.
Happy to see some familiar names in there. So many people are worth to be in this top :)
Congratulations @dalz! You have completed the following achievement on the Hive blockchain And have been rewarded with New badge(s)
Your next payout target is 72000 HP.
The unit is Hive Power equivalent because post and comment rewards can be split into HP and HBD
You can view your badges on your board and compare yourself to others in the Ranking

Sheesh! don't you find it way too interesting to see how an account who is dedicated to giving downvotes to everyone everywhere all the time for whatever reason and who only and exclusively upvotes to @hbd.funder and the burning posts/comments of @buildawhale... can it actually reach the fifth freaking position among the largest and best rewarded "curators" of the blockchain? ¡Holy Shit!
Probably its there becouse it has a lof stake maybe :)
Like a lot of HP. Dont you think people who have invested and bought millions of HIVE should earn interest on their stake?
Of course it is because it has a lot of stake! Tons of HP. Tons of scattered and hidden HP in multiple Alts. What else could it be? But could they really deserve to be called "curators" and get a freakin fifth place in the ranking of curators?
For those who actually "bought" millions of Hive and truly "invested" it in Hive, I would probably say yes. But for those who managed to obtain such millions only through the opportunistic maneuvers of the early ninja-mining and these notoriously greedy, selfish and unsupportive practices towards the community and the ecosystem in general. My obvious answer would be a resounding NO!
It's awesome that Hive is still able to reward decent dollar amounts even in the current crypto market conditions. Now I'm looking forward to seeing how it will turn out during the bull market.
Thanks for sharing this data! 🙏
By the way, I wonder if the rewards from the Comment Rewarder can be factored here as well? Or it’s too small at the moment?
I will soon be on the list someday
