Top Hive Earners by Category | Authors, Curators, Witnesses, DAO, HBD Interest | June 2025

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, null, reward.app, etc 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 attracted to them.

is on the top.

There are around 6.5k accounts that have received rewards in June 2025. The median payout is 30 HIVE, while the average is around 130 HIVE.

Here is the chart for the top 20 Hive curators that earned the most in the month.

is on the top here, followed by and .

The accounts above are the biggest curators on the Hive blockchain. Hope they will do a great job in curating and making this place grow.

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 around the same amount of HIVE (HP), around 12k per 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 15 accounts received funding in June 2025.

The

account is at the top here, followed by , etc. A total of 116k HBD was paid in June 2025, and it is relatively lower than the previous month when it was 250k, mostly due to the lack of the account, that usually has big payments.

Note on the special

. I have excluded this account from the here, since it is dominant on the top, with 370k HBD received in the month, but since technically it’s not keeping those funds, it is excluded from the list.

Top HBD Interest Earners

Here is the chart.

The

is on the top here with 28k HBD, followed by the and the . A total of 97k HBD was paid as interest rewards in June 2025.

Top Earners Cumulative

From the data above we can compile the payout for a single ranking on overall top earners on the Hive blockchain for the month.

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

is on the top here followed by and then .

All the best
