The other night I ran an exercise to figure out how much LEO was required to achieve the associated levels that we are all familiar with on Hive. Most of us were surprised how low the true numbers were but, considering the fact that there is 1/82 the number of LEO compared to HIVE, it makes a lot of sense.
For those who missed the post, here is where the categories came in at.
Now that we have a rough idea at the different levels for each category, the next question is how many accounts attained the different levels?
Token distribution is important and hopefully, over time, it spreads out to more people. Most distributions start highly centralized yet a strong community will see the tokens move further out as activity increases among different people.
The accounts breakdown was gathered from the data provided by http://dex.leofinance.io/richlist/LEO.
Here is what the chart looks like.
As an aside, the Red Fish are any account with at least .001 LEO and under the Minnow level.
We can see there are 4,866 accounts with some LEO in it. Not surprisingly, we see the stair step look to the chart. In these early days, it makes sense that the Whales are the least in number and Red Fish the largest.
One thing that is encouraging, there are 102 LEO Whales. Hopefully, this is a number that will grow over the next few months.
A single report does not tell the whole story. It will be interesting to see how things shift over time.
Here is the breakdown of percentages for each category.
Whale 2.10%
Orca 8.04%
Dolphin 18.70%
Minnow 24.85%
Red Fish 46.32%
One again, we will see if these percentages change over time and at what rate.
We know that over the last few years, the categories on Hive saw massive shifts although the pace was rather slow.
Let me know your thoughts on how this report and as a barometer going forward to judge how LEO is doing.
