Blurt Economic Indicators - 1 May 2022

My weekly look at Blurt's economic indicators.

All rises and falls are relative to last week.

Blurt Economic Indicators

BLURT Supply = 458.6 million
Vested BLURT (BP) = 54.8% (+0.3)
BP Voting Capacity = 36.5% (+0.5)

Reward Pool = 1.968 million BLURT (-0.015M)
Recent Claims = 137.8 TRshares (+2.8T)

Vote Yield estimate (100k BP) = 28.7% APR (-0.6)

Author/Curation Yield estimate = 14.3% APR (half of the Vote Yield)

You can also see the raw numbers on a blockchain explorer.

Insights

Trend continues, with vested BLURT and claims increasing, reward pool decreasing and the gross yield dropping slightly. It is also good to see the voting capacity increasing, meaning that the powered-up BLURT is used in voting activity.

We also see the BLURT price continue to follow its own trend, based on supply and demand, rather than just following other coins.

Not much else to say this week!

Comparisons

I was going to remove these comparisons with other Graphene chains, but we are approaching yet another Hive economic change, so maybe worth keeping these. If for no other reason, the three tokens share at least three exchanges, so the metrics below may help aid understanding the flow of coin trades.

A comparison with the other Graphene chains done using the DLease delegation rates.

Steem DLease rates: max 28% APR (average 21%)
Hive DLease rates: max 11% APR (average 6%)

Those rates have always tracked the profitability of each chain and have the advantage of being one simple number.

We now have a BLURT price feed within the Blurt wallet, so I no longer need to give my weekly price comparisons. Instead, I shall show the difference between our BLURT feed estimate and the BBLURT price.

BLURT feed: $0.0284 (-1%/week)

BBLURT price: $0.0283 (-3%/week)

The two prices have converged again this week, and stabilising. With BTC trending down, it is good to see the USD price holding firm, hence seeing the BLURT/BTC rate moving upwards.

Note that any swap pool price will not necessarily reflect open market prices. A swap price will only change when there is an actual trade; buying BBLURT will increase the price and selling BBLURT will lower it. There are no "open orders", so every transaction will have an effect. This is how arbitrageurs make their money: buying and selling price discrepancies across different markets.

I hope these numbers will give members some insights into how the Blurt economic system is managed and, more importantly, how each individual user can both benefit from and affect the whole chain.

Blurt Better!
