How to Tell If a Steem Witness Is Active: Feed Publishing Matters

in #steem2 days ago

One important way to determine whether a witness is active and legitimate is by checking how frequently they publish the feed, since maintaining it is a key responsibility of a Steem witness.

Publishing a reliable and up-to-date price feed ensures that the blockchain can function smoothly. Without regular updates, the ecosystem risks inaccurate conversions between STEEM and SBD, which can affect everything from trading to reward payouts. Active witnesses demonstrate their commitment by keeping their feeds current, which also shows they are monitoring the network consistently.

For community members, monitoring feed updates is a simple but effective way to gauge a witness’s reliability. A witness who neglects this duty may also be less responsive in other areas, such as applying timely software updates or handling consensus changes. In contrast, those who publish feeds consistently are more likely to be engaged, trustworthy, and genuinely serving the interests of the Steem community.
