Dear Blurtians,
Time to find out if June was a good or a bad month for Blurt, after a less-than-stellar April and a lacklustre May, what can we expect from June? That's what we're going to find out together during our monthly analysis of the BLURT blockchain's various metrics.
As usual, we will make a 4-month comparison with the months of June, May, April and March 2023.
In June 2023, the block producers, who are also known as "witnesses" on the Blurt blockchain, had the responsibility of generating 845,055 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) 😉
Witnesses votes
We'll take this opportunity for a new graph to see how many of you cast a governance vote for your favorite witness(es) last month 🤔
I'm surprised to see that there are actually more than I expected 👍 although I'd like to see even more 😆 So I invite you to read my last post One Year as a Witness: A BLURT Block Producer's Journey to better understand what a Witness is 😉
Transactions & Operations
In June 2023, the witnesses' blocks recorded 211,684 transactions and 216,597 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.
The trend seems to be reversing, with 5 more new accounts created than in May, so let's hope this trend continues.
As a reminder, one of my next goals on BeBlurt is Onboarding with a referral system, and I hope this will help increase that value even further.
Active Accounts
So, is account activity following this upward trend? That's what we'll see in the next graph, which tracks all account activity on the Blurt blockchain. Any user who interacts with the blockchain through a non-virtual operation (vote, transfer, delegation, comment, post...) during the period is considered an active account.
And yes, a bullish trend seems to be taking shape for June 2023 on the Blurt blockchain!
Distinct Authors
What about the number of unique authors on the Blurt blockchain?
Another chart with an upward trend, a month of June that's really nice to see with more new accounts, more account activity, more authors!
Posts & Replies
With all this, we expect to see more publications and comments.
Well, surprise! The answer is NO, well not quite. While there were fewer publications, with only 11,699 posts published in June compared with 11,971 posts published in May, the number of comments on posts is up and even exceeds the number of posts themselves, which I think is an encouraging sign that engagement on posts is on the rise, which is great to see!
Frontends / dApps
And how the posts are distributed by Frontends / dApps, that's what we will see below.
While the Blurt Blog, Actifit, and Dtube frontends continue on a downward trend (much less marked than the one that took place in April), Blurtlatam is still on an upward trend, as is BeBlurt, where publications in communities are starting to grow, as is the number of communities created! More info in this post: BeBlurt Supports Blurt Communities
By the way, I'll certainly be doing a @beblurt post tomorrow on BeBlurt's progress, with an analysis of BeBlurt's stats in the style of this post 😉
Now let's see what's happening on the financial side
Authors Rewards
How much did content creators earn in rewards last month? We'll soon find out.
A very slight drop in author rewards this month, with 1,074,441 BLURT distributed compared to 1,086,779 BLURT the previous month.
June Top 10 authors (in rewards) are:
- 23,708 BLURT : @hangin with 128 posts & replies
- 18,737 BLURT : @cleanenergygarro with 123 posts & replies
- 16,847 BLURT : @offgridlife with 187 posts & replies (up 2 positions)

I would also like to remind you that on BeBlurt, 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 show a difference of 44,035 BLURT compared to the authors rewards, an amount which appears in the June Beneficiaries Reward, so the balance is therefore correctly balanced.
June Top 10 curators (in rewards) are:
- 357,722 BLURT : @blurtbooster with 3,468 upvotes
- 155,664 BLURT : @upvu with 1,722 upvotes
- 115,020 BLURT : @ctime with 7,669 upvotes
- 39,230 BLURT : @mmmmkkkk311 with 978 upvotes
- 29,300 BLURT : @primeradue with 1,864 upvotes
- 25,160 BLURT : @saboin with 519 upvotes (up 1 positions)
- 25,048 BLURT : @mk-int-token with 461 upvotes (down 1 positions)
- 24,143 BLURT : @mariuszkarowski with 1,170 upvotes
- 17,991 BLURT : @beblurt with 971 upvotes (up 13 positions)
- 17,203 BLURT : @sagarkothari88 with 2,858 upvotes (down 1 positions)
What a pleasure to see @beblurt enter the top 10 at number 9. Thanks to all the delegators of the BeBlurt's MyDelegation program who helped us reach almost 3,000,000 BLURT POWER and distributed 17,991 BLURT to authors through 100% manual curation of 971 posts in June 🎉
If you'd like to join the BeBlurt Delegation program and help us distribute even more rewards next month via 100% manual curation, I invite you to read this post: BeBlurt's MyDelegation program with 85% Rewards Back.
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
After several balanced months, or months with Power Up exceeding Power Down, this month it's Power Down that wins the battle, with 3,509,965 BLURT withdrawn against only 2,776,109 BLURT blocked, representing a difference of 733,856 BLURT.
June Top 10 Power Up are:
- 501,900 BLURT: @ctime
- 500,000 BLURT: @abusesignal
- 429,072 BLURT: @primeradue
- 185,337 BLURT: @beblurt

- 100,000 BLURT: @sagarkothari88
- 71,570 BLURT: @blurtbooster
- 56,650 BLURT: @sandeep126
@beblurt takes a fine 4th place 🎊
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 ;)
June Top 10 Power Downs are:
- 1,001,478 BLURT: @ctime
- 576,322 BLURT: @blurtbooster
- 278,932 BLURT: @mmmmkkkk311
- 200,125 BLURT: @rycharde
- 159,757 BLURT: @imransoudagar
- 125,980 BLURT: @offgridlife

- 107,755 BLURT: @zahidsun
- 96,519 BLURT: @upvu
- 48,725 BLURT: @blurttribe
Transfer from & to Exchanges
As a reminder: Only Probit is recognized as an exchange for BLURT by CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap and only the values of this exchange determine the value and volume of exchange on these 2 major websites of the crypto world!
To Exchanges
June Top 5 Accounts transfers to Exchanges are:
- 542,238 BLURT: @janpaki
- 280,000 BLURT: @mmmmkkkk311
- 198,000 BLURT: @mapac
- 167,865 BLURT: @fervi
- 128,193 BLURT: @mariuszkarowski
- 128,064 BLURT: @offgridlife
From Exchanges
June Top 5 Exchanges transfers to Accounts are:
- 425,420 BLURT: @primeradue
- 253,494 BLURT: @janpaki
- 128,344 BLURT: @mariuszkarowski
- 107,253 BLURT: @beblurt
- 80,124 BLURT: @kamranrkploy
Once again, @beblurt is present in a Top with a fine 4th place, a great run this month 🎉
Delta from/to Exchanges
Not very encouraging this month to see that for Probit the difference is 760,000 BLURT more transfer to Exchange as well as Hive-Engine where the difference is 750,000 BLURT for a total difference of -1,380,678 BLURT.
Last word
This month, blockchain activity has been much more encouraging than the financial side (or at least the part sent to the Exchanges). Certain factors, such as account creation and engagement on posts, are showing renewed growth, and we can hope to see a consolidation of these charts in next month's analysis 😊
That's why if I were you, I'd click on the @nalexadre Follow button to make sure I don't miss the next analysis 🤣
And don't forget to keep an eye on the @beblurt account tomorrow for the release of the analysis on the progress of BeBlurt, the frontend application of the Blurt blockchain 😉

Good data analysis for the month of june but how could it be that this account @mapac was not among the : June Top 5 Accounts transfers to Exchanges?
It seems I missed one line, thanks a lot @ifylois for your cross-check👍I edited the post.
The stats are really nice. Hopefully in 3 months, we will have one new frontend.

It is my belief that BLURT will continue to grow following the price action of BTC. Very good detailed report on how Blurt had been doing these past few months and I am optimistic what the future holds for our general community.
