Lets take a look at the top earners for January 2024!
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 attract for them.
@oflyhigh is the top earning Hive author for January 2024 with 3k HIVE equivalent earned. @erikah is in the second spot @kkaremp.
There are around 7k accounts that have received at least one HIVE as reward in January 2024. The median payout is 14 HIVE, while the average is 83.
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 with around 80k HIVE, followed by @ocdb and @blocktrades.
The accounts above are the biggest curators on the Hive blockchain having control on the most HP. Interesting to see the @zingtoken account in the top, reflecting the amount of HP delegated to it.
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 the same amount of HIVE (HP), around 11k HP in the 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 18 accounts received funding in January 2024.
The @valueplan account is on the top here with 180k HBD received in January 2024, followed by @peak.open and @keychain.
Note on the special @hbdstabilizer. I have excluded this account from the here, since it is dominant on the top, 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 20k HBD interest earned, followed by @blocktrades and @shitposter. Note that this is HBD interest that is claimed, there are accounts with large amounts of HBD in savings that have not claimed interest.
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 January 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.
The @valueplan account is on the top for January 2024, followed by @appreciator and @blocktrades.
In the top earners for January 2024 most of the accounts are DHF workers and curation accounts on the top, with some HBD interest accounts as well.
All the best
