The Effect Of Splinterlands Move To HIVE | Number Of Custom JSON Tx and Accounts

(Edited)

Splinterlands moved to Hive on June 2nd. The game works using the Custom JSON transactions on the blockchain.
It is quite transaction intensive game as players make a lot of daily activities.

Let’s take a look how this has effected the Hive blockchain.

I have posted about the Custom JSON Tx before:

If you want to know a bit more about this transaction and the type of it, you have a look in the posts above. Here I will just note that the Custom JSON Tx are standardized data format that can be used by a different application, providing interoperability between different programming language.

The blockchain has the ability to store json data. It is a secondary thing for the blockchain, as the main purpose is posting, commenting and upvotes. The JSON data is not displayed on hive.blog and the other frontends as posts. They may use some of it, but usually it just sits in the background.
One of its first usage was the follower’s lists. Nowadays it is a totally different thing. Splinterlands, Hive Engine (all HE tokens), dCity and other games are all using the custom JSON function of the blockchain.

Custom JSON Transactions on Hive

The Hive blockchain was created on March 20, 2020.
Here is the chart for the Custom JSON transactions.

Quite a significant growth to say at least 😊.
The number of custom JSON transactions started with around 10k per day and growth till 30k before the Splinterlands move. After Splinterlands moved to Hive the number of custom JSON transactions growth to almost 450k. This is impressive.

For comparison, a year ago in May 2019 the number of custom JSON transactions on the Steem blockchain was around 110k. A 4 times growth in a year. This is mainly due to the growth of the Splinterlands game.

Number of accounts making custom JSON transactions.

The above are the unique daily accounts making custom JSON transactions on daily level.
We can see that the numbers in the beginning is just above 2k accounts, then it grows up to more than 3k and after the Splinterlands transitions the number of accounts making custom JSON transactions grow to 8k, or for more than 5k accounts.

Next, we can compare the top 4 operations on the Hive blockchain including the custom JSON:

  • Posts and comments
  • Votes
  • Transactions
  • Custom JSON

The chart looks like this:

Before the Splinterlands transition the dominant operation on the Hive blockchain were votes. The numbers of votes reached 250k per day, posts and comments around 17k and the number of transaction moving HIVE coins around 13k. The custom JSON transactions as mentioned above have reached 450k per day and are now dominant type of transactions on the blockchain.

Note on the transactions. When we look at the overall numbers of transactions the votes and now the custom JSON transactions are dominating. But we should have in mind the weight of each of the transactions. The votes and the custom JSON transactions are a one click operations. A lot of the times automated. The posts are a bit harder to make and usually more time consuming.

All the best

This is some pretty awesome data, thanks for sharing! It goes to show that a massive thing like Splinterlands drives so much and will be the driving force to some of the publicity we get on here going forward. Really excited to see that!

Holy crap, now that is SIGNIFICANT!

It's quite funny to look at Hiveblocks during a tournament, it's pure Jsons.

Check out my little @splinterlands competition in my feed BTW - it might interest you!
