The Swarm Post distributes author rewards to newly onboarded Hive users, selected via a trust-weighted lottery with verifiable randomness.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Eligible newbies | 1 |
| Active onboarders | 53 |
| Trust root voters | 5 |
| Trust declarations | 59 |
If you're part of the trust network, you can help new Hive users become eligible for the lottery:
Vouch — If you know who onboarded a new user but their on-chain creator is a service account (like 
!vouch @realcreator
This tells the system who really brought them to Hive. The attested creator receives the onboarder's share of the rewards.
Sponsor — If a new user has no trusted onboarder at all but you believe they are a real person worth supporting, comment on their introduction post:
!sponsor
This makes you responsible for that account. You receive the onboarder's share of the rewards. Sponsoring requires a higher trust score than vouching.
Upvote this post and its comments to fund new Hive users. Your vote weight counts toward the trust graph.

This prevents the operator from influencing the outcome by delaying the post. Anyone can independently verify this selection by looking up the BTC block at the scheduled timestamp.
