Let’s take a look at PeakD! The project is around for a long time now and has been developing a lot of things on Hive. Some of them DHF funded. PEAKD has established itself as the most used frontend on the Hive blockchain. The team around it has been involved in the ecosystem for a long time and they have continuously built and updating it. The team is also working on a Peak Open project that is funded from the DHF and have more tools for the ecosystem. There is now also a short form app Snaps.
Let’s take a look at some of the data.
Here we will take a look at the activity on the platform, the overall number of posts and comments, and the number of users. The top content creators for the last 30 days will be presented as well.
The period that we will be looking at is from April 2020 till now.
Posts
First let us see the number of posts coming from the PeakD.
Here is the chart.
Some ups and downs here. At the beginning in 2020 there was around 1200 post per day, then this number increase to around 1600 in the bull market in 2021-2022, and a slow drop afterwards to 600 posts in 2024.
At the end of 2024 there was an increase in the number of posts up to 800, and a drop again afterwards to around 450 where we are now.
This chart follows the price a lot, just with a smaller volatility.
Comments
The chart above was only about posts. What about comments? PeakD introduced Snaps, a short form so the activity here should be going up.
Here is the number of comments made per day from PeakD.
We can clearly see the pump at the end of 2024, from around 4k up to 6k comments daily. Previously in the bull market of 2021 the ATH for comments was around 8k. Not that far away.
In te last period this number has dropped and is around 3k per day.
Posts and Comments
When we combine the posts and comments on one chart we get this.
The comments are dominatign the chart as there are more comments than posts. Post and comments has been in the range of 6k to 8k up to April 2024, but then they dropped to as low as 4k in the summer of 2024. An increase at the end of 2024 up to 7k and a drop since then to as low as 4k where we are aproximately now.
When we polot the numbers on a monthly timeframe we get this.
A peak at the end of 2021 and the beginning of 2022 with up to 250k monthy posts and comments. Since then a drop in the following years with lows in August 2024, with a short recovery in the following monts and a drop again in the last few months to a new record low of 100k posts and comments in December 2025.
Active Authors
How about the numbers of the authors on the PeakD. How many accounts are posting?
Here is a chart for the monthly numbers of accounts posting.
The all-time high for MAUs on PeakD was back in April 2022, with 7.5k monthly active users that were making posts and comments. A drop since then to 4k in 2024 and a spike in January 2025 to 5k users. In the last months this number has been going down and it has dropped to around 3.5k per month.
Next the number of unique authors that posted from PeakD. These are authors that posted directly through the frontend.
The number of unique PeakD authors is showing continuous steady growth with some slow down in the last period.
There is now around 44.5k unique authors that have used PeakD to post. In 2025 a total of 4.5k new accounts have tired PeakD for the first time. In 2024 a total of 6k new accounts used PeakD for the first time.
Authors that Posted the Most
Here is the rank of the authors that posted the most in the last 30 days on PeakD.
There seems to be some spam accounts at the very top. There is some community run projects that report daily and some genuine account in the second half of the ranks.
Authors that Commented the Most
Here is the rank of the authors that commented the most in the last 30 days on PeakD.
More genuine accounts when it comes to commenting when compared to posting, although some spam as well. Great job with the engagement for the top accounts here.
Overall, we can see that there is downtrend in the activity on PeakD, especially in the last few months. There was some uptrend at the beginning of 2025, but that has disappeared and at end of 2025 we have some record low activity for since 2020.
This is driven by the Hive prices that is at record lows to bellow 10 cents, a price where it has never been in the period since its creation of 2020.
All the best @dalz
