Steemit · interactive mechanism simulation

Authors post, curators cast stake-weighted (Steem Power) votes, and an inflationary reward pool mints new STEEM into a payout split between authors and curators — no advertiser ever pays. Edit the parameters to see who actually captures the reward.

Illustrative simulation. Defaults mirror the researched Steemit mechanism (~9.5%/yr inflation, 75/25 author/curator split, linear reward curve, a ~18% founder "ninja stake"), but post timing and vote sizes are randomized for visualization — not live onchain data. Drag the sliders, or trigger the 2020 takeover, to see how stake-weighted rewards get captured. Part of The Onchain Experiment Atlas.
