Hi Blurtians,
I'm aware that many of you have been eagerly awaiting this post!
Although I was held up for more than a month now, preparing BeBlurt's version 1 update, which includes communities, delegation system, push notifications, and more, and required my full attention, I couldn't fail to report the Blurt blockchain data for April 2023.
So I'm taking a break for a few lot of hours to relax and take advantage of it to write this post, without further delay, here are the data.
In this post, we'll be taking a closer look at the Blurt blockchain data for the month of April 2023, compared to the months of March 2023, February 2023, and January 2023.
In April 2023, the block producers, who are also known as "witnesses" on the Blurt blockchain, had the responsibility of generating 849,336 blocks.
The witnesses are elected by the community through voting so you can show your support by casting your vote at https://beblurt.com/witnesses to give a better ranking to your favorite witness(es) ;)
Transactions & Operations
In April 2023, the witnesses' blocks recorded 244,019 transactions and 259,056 operations (with one transaction potentially containing multiple operations).
It can be noted that the decline in the number of operations as well as the number of transactions continues.
New Accounts
Let's take a look at the number of new accounts created which is a good and interesting indicator.
Due to the strange numbers for April, I looked at the data further, see below the graph by creator account for the period.
So not a real wave of new active Blurtians :(
Active Accounts
So it will be interesting to see this new metric that some people were waiting for, the number of active accounts per month. Any user who interacts with the blockchain through a non-virtual operation (vote, transfer, delegation...) during the period is considered an active account.
I admit to being disappointed by this metric which I thought would be higher and which means that there are not that many accounts that do not post. But let's see the evolution of the number of authors to compare.
Distinct Authors
What about the number of unique authors on the Blurt blockchain?
As the graph shows, in April, 777 unique bloggers posted on the Blurt blockchain. This means that if we take the 1,191 active accounts, there were only 414 non-bloggers last month on the Blurt blockchain.
Posts & Replies
Let's get to the heart of the matter! Were there more or fewer posts in April 2023? Was there more or less engagement through comments?
No surprise, the numbers are also dropping despite a month of March that seemed to want to go up again. The lack of engagement (number of replies) is also still very present.
Frontends / dApps
And how the posts are distributed by Frontends / dApps, that's what we will see below.
No big change on this side with a large predominance of the Official frontend although it is decreasing following the trend of the number of posts. Only BlurtLatam seems to be progressing.
Now let's see what's happening on the financial side
Authors Rewards
A very surprising result that I have for the moment difficulty understanding and analyzing, I am curious to see what will look like for the 2 others that are linked to it, namely the curation rewards and beneficiaries.
April Top 10 authors (in rewards) are:
- 23,872 BLURT: @hangin with 150 posts & replies
- 19,237 BLURT : @yakubenko with 82 posts & replies
- 17,872 BLURT : @andrianna with 73 posts & replies
- 15,334 BLURT : @globetrottergcc with 37 posts & replies
- 13,275 BLURT : @cjsdns with 28 posts & replies
- 13,052 BLURT : @cleanenergygarro with 140 posts & replies
- 11,988 BLURT : @powerego with 31 posts & replies
- 11,724 BLURT : @ultravioletmag with 130 posts & replies
- 11,181 BLURT : @blurttribe with 95 posts & replies
- 10,885 BLURT : @drutter with 95 posts & replies
I would also like to remind you that on the BeBlurt dApp, you can find this information on the user dashboard as explained in this post: BEBLURT | Update v0.3.0 | Blurtian Analytics Dashboard
Curators Rewards
The trend of the curations follows well that of the authors which is what we expect
April Top 10 curators (in rewards) are:
- 332,849 BLURT: @blurtbooster with 3,367 upvotes
- 160,089 BLURT : @upvu with 1,740 upvotes
- 120,744 BLURT : @ctime with 8,344 upvotes
- 43,062 BLURT : @mmmmkkkk311 with 1,037 upvotes
- 23,595 BLURT : @primeradue with 2,084 upvotes
- 23,550 BLURT : @mariuszkarowski with 1,116 upvotes
- 22,268 BLURT : @saboin with 643 upvotes
- 21,403 BLURT : @mk-int-token with 513 upvotes
- 16,393 BLURT : @sagarkothari88 with 3,207 upvotes
- 14,472 BLURT : @tomoyan with 1,240 upvotes
Beneficiaries Rewards
The Beneficiary Rewards on the Blurt blockchain refer to a system where a portion of the rewards generated from a post or comment on the platform is allocated to a designated beneficiary account. This beneficiary account can be any account on the Blurt blockchain that the author of the post or comment chooses to support.
When a user creates content on Blurt, they have the option to designate a beneficiary account and set a percentage of the rewards that they would like to allocate to that account. The beneficiary account can be any Blurt account (their own account, another user, community, dApp/frontend)
Once the post or comment is published, the rewards are distributed among the author and any designated beneficiaries according to the percentage set by the author. This allows authors to support other users, communities, or dApp/frontend they believe deserve recognition and rewards for their contributions to the platform.
The Beneficiary Rewards system is intended to encourage engagement and collaboration among users on the Blurt blockchain and to foster a culture of generosity and support. It is also a way for authors to demonstrate their appreciation for the work of others on the platform.
FYI: On BeBlurt, posting in a Community will automatically add a 3% beneficiary to the Community owner's account as a contribution to its growth (you have the option to add more % if you wish but cannot remove it).
Power Up / Down
Finally something very positive! For the 2nd month in a row, the Power Up are higher than the Power Down.
April Top 10 Power Up are:
- 399,557 BLURT: @blurtbooster
- 320,400 BLURT: @besticofinder
- 298,600 BLURT: @primeradue

- 100,000 BLURT: @rycharde
- 92,672 BLURT: @frankbacon
Before listing the Top 10 Power Downs, a little clarification, doing a power down does not necessarily mean selling your BLURTs but simply putting them in liquidity. ;)
April Top 10 Power Downs are:
- 448,921 BLURT: @ctime
- 412,537 BLURT: @blurtbooster
- 210,864 BLURT: @besticofinder

Delta from/to Exchanges
Well, well, well! We end this post in a very unexpected way, I did not expect to see a Delta between sending and receiving to the exchanges to stabilize like this and was rather pessimistic.
Last word
This concludes the analysis of Blurt blockchain data for April 2023. I hope that this analysis provides you with a comprehensive overview and a better understanding of the trend on Blurt.
Please keep in mind that several exciting projects are currently underway, each with their own unique vision, and you are sure to find something that suits your needs.
Thank you for taking the time to read through this analysis, and I hope it has been helpful.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments ;)
For those who missed it: My Blurt ecosystem proposal by the BLURT decentralized fund. A huge thanks to those who already support it by a vote!

thank you for presenting important data for those of us who have difficulty reading data.
I'm curious, why do people who have a lot of blurt here do a lot of power downs. whereas they have great potential to support blurt.
Isn't it when they do it, the blurt potential grows bigger? Do they want their money to become meaningless and blurry to be left behind?
Or am I uninformed about this? Hmmm.
have a nice day ✨
You're welcome, thanks for your feedback. Not easy to answer in their place, each one having different visions and objectives.
the decrease in engagement may also be related to the season of the year. people don't stay at home so much during their free time anymore, so they don't write as much and don't comment. I think that if you do a similar statement for September October November, the trend will start to reverse.
I think the month of May will be similar, maybe we will see change in June which is the rainy season in Asia
How many active visits per month ?
Curious to know where we would appear on this list …
259,000 ? More than Hive ???
Never mind… I found it …

reports go on - nice read
Did not look for this post but read it
Quiet April for me - maybe it is about season and May will be blooming
Thanks for your feedback, yep, maybe May will be better
Good job! Everything is documented. It is very informative. There are few things from the platform that I just learned from your post. At least I am aware now. Thanks for sharing! 👏
Glad to hear my post was useful
It is very useful. I am just wondering, if you don't put any recepient of the rewards, where will it go? I jusy learned about this from your post.
I loved a lot this post where we can see what is goin on with blurt in terms of numbers, nice job!
Thank you :)
I have been a busy Bee. Thank you for the mention @nalexadre and for all your effort in providing us with all these analyses great work buddy 👍
I think you can also apply for a grant or ask to become a special ambassador from the Ministry of Travel of Australia and Thailand because of the quality of your posts 😉
That is very kind of you to say @nalexadre not a bad idea I may look into that.

Thank you for the support @ultravioletmag :)
You have really done a good job with this analysis.
I am happy that powerups is on the increase lately, Hopefully Blurt price will bounce back soon, A very big gratitude to everyone who made this possible.
Thank you for the good job @nalexadre
Thank you for this valuable report, how much useful information in one place and accurately.
I think as long as the bear market continues, there will be little movement, as the price of cryptocurrencies in general, including Blurt, becomes unattractive, but when the trend reverses, this will get interesting.
P.S: I still can't log in to BeBlurt, after approving the transaction in Whale Vault, nothing happens.
Greetings 🤗
Awesome. Suprisingly Blurt is quite an active community! Love it. I should come by more often. Lol.
