Hive Power Delegations

PWR has a variable emission dependent on the amount of Hive-Power delegated to the service. This emission model got changed in April '25 since the project got revamped. Check the different tabs to compare both models.

**This model worked from September '23 until April '25. (587 days).

More HIVE Delegated => More PWR issued

Delegators receive a diminishing return for their Hive-Power delegations over time, according to this epoch schedule:

After the third year (!), the APR on delegations decreases at a 0,5% APR/year, mimicking Hive chain inflation.


The aforementioned APR's are nominally fixed at HIVE at a 1:1 ratio. That means that if the price of PWR in the secondary market deviates from peg, the distribution model will not adjust the amount of tokens sent to the delegator, since it always assumes that 1PWR = 1 HIVE.

This helps to maintain some stability since the amount of PWR issued only depends on the amount of Hive Power delegated.

This is extremely important in the early stages of the project where more volatility is expected around the peg.
