Palnet was launched 10 days ago. It seems that it is a hit as a lot of Steemians started posting on the platform or at least use the palnet tag. Just how many people posted there and what is the number of posts? Usually I do this kind of reports at the end of the month. For this one I couldn’t wait and decided to check the numbers in the middle of the month 😊. Palnet is hot right now.

Some basic data will be presented here on the number of posts and authors on Palnet.

The analysis was carried out for the period from 01.06.2019 to 15.06.2019. Data containing the tag #palnet was collected from the Steem blockchain. Details of the query can be found at the bottom of this post.

Activity on Palnet

Activities are in form of posts and comments. Every time authors posts on the platform or comment there it will have the palnet tag. Also, every comment on palnet post has the tag.

Data for each day was collected and presented on the graph.

The total number of activities on Palnet in the period was 14.045

The activities on the platform begun around 5th of June. Before this there was just a few posts. Right after the start the number went to 400, and a couple of days later on 13th June reached the maximum of around 2000 posts and comments per day. In the past few days there is around 1600 to 1800 posts and comments. Will this number continue to increase or this will be the average in the coming days? Who knows. We will need to wait and see how it develops.

Posts on Palnet

Here is the breakdown on posts and comments. First the posts.

The total number of posts containing the tag palnet in the period is 7.069

So, 7k posts in 10 days. Not bad at all. Name a platform where a dApp can go from zero to 7k posts per day in 10 days.

The number of posts per day increased almost linear in the first days reaching more then 1000 daily posts, after what it stabilized itself on that number in the last few days.

Comments on Palnet

Here is the chart for the number of comments per day.

The number of comment containing the tag palnet in the period is 6.976
Almost 1:1 ratio posts per comments. Was expecting a bit more 😊. Not sure if all the comments on the palnet posts are included or just the ones where the palnet tag is the first one. Looks to me like this is the more likely scenario, meaninig that there is actualy more comments on the posts that the number here.

Number of Daily Authors

This is a number that is interesting to see. How many authors posted on palnet or used the tag.
Here is the chart.

Starting from 5th of June there is a huge spike in the number of authors joining the platform. The first day 134 authors and the next day on the 6th 236 authors. This was the maximum number of new authors per day. Just after the launch. In the following days there is around 200 authors per day.

Cumulative Unique Authors

Here how the chart of cumulative unique authors looks.

A total of 2058 authors on Palnet.

2k authors in 10 days!

Only on Steem 😊.

This number inculdes the ones that only commneted as well. I checked the authors that did post as well and that number is also high, around 1700.

Conclusion

A total of 2k authors and 7k posts in 10 days for Palnet. Going for a 1k daily authors. Now, when measuring something it depends what kind of scale is used and in correlation with what. But in the crypto space for any dApp this numbers are impressive. Reaching them in such a short time is even more impressive. This is because of the community and the creators of palnet as well. Hope to see this numbers in x10 times in a couple of months.

All the best
