The Hive blockchains has around 2.4M accounts, growing rapidly in the last year with the growth of Splinterlands and adding almost 1M accounts in the last year.
But what percent of these accounts are active? How many active accounts the Hive blockchain has and how are they transacting on the blockchain?
Let’s take a look!
Top Four Hive Operations
We will be looking at the activity on the chain by the top operations made:
- Post and comment
- Vote/Curate
- Transfer coins
- Make Custom JSON transactions
Apart from the above, reading, or page views, is also a crucial part of this ecosystem, but this type of operation is not stored on the blockchain. There is some general traffic websites that can be used for this, like https://hypestat.com/.
We will be looking at the number of active accounts by the operations stated above from Jan 2021 – March 2022.
We will be looking at the number of DAUs (daily active users) and the number of MAUs (monthly active users).
Number of Accounts That Posted or Commented
First let’s take a look at the number of accounts that are posting on the blockchain, as one of the core operations.
The above is the chart for DAUs, for accounts making posts or comments on the blockchain.
We can see a slow up trend through the whole period. At the beginning of 2021 there was around 3k accounts posting and commenting on a daily basis. Now this number is around 5k DAUs.
There has been a small drop in the summer of 2021 when the overall crypto market tanked.
On a monthly basis, in January 2021 there was around 9k active accounts, while in January 2022 18k accounts.
Overall, quite a steady number of accounts posting and commenting with a steady growth.
Number of Account that Vote/Curate
How about then number of accounts that vote. What is their number? After all the voting feature on the blockchain is at its core. Rewards are distributed via votes.
Here is the chart.
In the period the number of accounts voting/curating has been between 10k to 14k per day, with a slow growth through out the period.
On a monthly level the numbers are from 17k to 23k MAUs.
Number of Accounts That Are Making Transfers
What about the basic crypto activity? Transferring value. How many users are making daily transactions? Here is the chart.
The number of accounts making transfers started with around 1000 at the beginning of 2021, then it had a few spikes in May and June, and a steady growth after that toward 3k in December. In the last period the number of daily accounts transferring funds around is around 2.5k daily.
Number of Accounts That Are Making Custom JSON Operations
Now let’s take a look at the mains suspect. The custom json transactions!
As expected, there is a huge spike in the number of accounts making custom json transactions per day.
The number has grown from around 10k per day at the beginning of the year to almost 500k accounts per day making custom json operation.
On a monthly basis there is around 650k MAUs.
Monthly Active Accounts By Type Of Operation
What about monthly active accounts? Not everyone is making daily activities. Monthly active accounts can be a more accurate representation. Here is the chart for MAUs by category.
These numbers are compiled from the top 4 activities described above.
A total domination of the custom json operation that are coming from Splinterlands. While by the other metrics there is around 20k MAUs, the MAUs for jsons is a massive 700k!
The number for accounts posting, voting and transfers has seen some growth in the period, doubling or tripling, but the number of accounts making custom json operation has exploded for x70 times.
When we compare the number of active accounts per type of operation in the last month, we have this.
| Operation | February MAUs |
|---|---|
| JSON | 611,307 |
| Votes | 23,615 |
| Transfers | 18,015 |
| Post and Comments | 15,291 |
JSON operation are on the top, voting comes on the second place with 23k MAUs, followed by transactions and then posting.
Readers
Since the main dApp build on the Hive blockchain is a blogging platform the obvious question is how many readers it has. The numbers presented above are about authors, curators, gamers, etc… users that actually interact with the blockchain with some action.
The number of readers is not stored on the blockchain. The interesting thing is that there is more than one frontend to the blockchain, no there is no one single point of entrance to count.
According to https://hypestat.com/ the numbers for unique daily visitors at the moment are:
- hive.blog 217k
- Peakd.com 217k
- Ecency.com 158k
- LeoFinance 103k
These numbers have went slightly up in the last period as well meaning more readers heating the web apps powered by Hive.
All the best

nice stats as usual! ❤️
Thanks!
I really wish any of the hive interfaces got that many visits a day that would be amazing. Not sure all of us combined got as much as any one of those. We do get quite a bit but 217k a day is crazy... have you seen the numbers of visitors even the most read posts (usually splinterlands) gets? To be in the top 10 viewed posts for a day or even a week it's like 100 views. Put tens of thousands of posts combined over the course of a month and yeah it does add to be several times more than 217k but that's for a month.
The reality is: We don't have nearly as many people on the platform interested in Promoting their content for consumption as we do just getting a small set of voters interested.
It's something to work on for sure. I have plans... just need more developers for those plans. haha
That is according to hypestat ....
I have seen peakd numbers of views, but usualy for the new posts .... also the 200k number is for all the posts... for every random viewer on posts maybe from years ago... 100 views per post, but then I guess combine them with all the rest .... anyway there is like 5k accounts posting daily, 15k, monthly so the number of readers is for sure much bigger then 100 :) , cant tell for sure what the exact data is, probably there are more advanced and paid tools for this.
Is it possible for the api to log how many requests each post gets and make that number available to the ui's?
It is really impressive seeing the numbers go up which means the platform is highly much appreciated with everyone contribution in the blockchain is moving to a positive note and a progressive one.

This is great. Every platform is rising especially hive blogs. Over 200 k visitors a day. It's massive amount and Leofinance is over 100 k too. The cointelegraph is also promote bit to a higher level too!
Very interesting stuff. Good to see the growth rate is near 100% for most categories.
This is something that few look at. We need to have the continual growth rate. While we all want the mooning of people, steady will get us there eventually also.
18K per month is a decent starting point.

Yea the numbers for account posting has been doubled as well
Hope the uptrend on activity keeps like this from now on. It is intrinsically linked with the price as well.
Number of accounts posting is like clockworks with the price :)
Could you go into a little more detail about the JSON transactions? Like what caused the huge upspike that you expected? Who contributed to that much growth and what projects were most beneficial to this growth?
Splinterlands is the answer to your questions :)

Nice to see a lot of active accounts!
Wow, this is very interesting,I like the way this platform is growing every day. Everybody has been contribute in one way to other, this is very nice..it really bring development to hive platform
Splinterlands contributed most
Good to see this stat and want to believe it will surely improve in the course of the week
really very good information
These numbers are not bad at all. Considering @leofinance front end is only focused on finance, even 103k looks good. SeekingAlpha has 4.3M. We still have a long way to go. I personally try to use few front ends every single day including https://next.d.buzz to show some support for the stats.

Please vote for pizza.witness!
And now imagine 10 % of Splinterland gamers, heck, only 1 % would start blogging, commenting, curating - now, that would be some awesome growth!
Again, good data!
