STEEM ATLAS [16 Aug '25] : Refining the Atlas Economy - Increased Delegator Rewards & Voting Enhancements

We have been delighted with the response to our increased delegator rewards.

Since the announcement last week the @steem-atlas account has grown by 18% to over 561K SP.

Today we are announcing further changes to help build a strong and sustainable economy for the Steem Atlas project.

The Delegators Rewards rates are being increased and the automated voting rewards are being enhanced.

Increased Delegator Rewards

We have now introduced a two tier Delegator Reward Scheme.

The basic reward rate for delegators to @steem-atlas has been increased by another 6% to 0.35 STEEM / 1000 SP / day.

Additionally we are offering an enhanced rate for anyone who would like to proxy their witness votes to @steem-atlas.

This higher Delegator Proxy Rate is currently 0.40 STEEM / 1000 SP / day.

We will be keeping both the delegator rates under review to ensure we present a most attractive investment opportunity for anyone who wants to support one of Steem's leading applications and at the same time earn a worthwhile return.

The minimum delegation amount has also been reduced to 250 SP to allow many more smaller investors to take part.

We have already reached our first target of 500,000 SP to become an Atlas Whale.

Now we are aiming for a total 1 Million SP for @steem-atlas to put the project on a stable footing and allow us to support as many people as possible who are posting on Steem Atlas.

Enhanced Voting Rates

The Automated Atlas Voting System distributes all the available voting power of @steem-atlas to all valid Steem Atlas posts published over the past 24 hours.

Currently the vote percentages have been calculated according to grades allocated by the Atlas Ambassador team.

Now are we introducing a voting uplift system for anyone who delegates to the project or who sets a beneficiary on their post to @steem-atlas.

These voting percentage increases will be in proportion to the size of the delegation and the percentage of the beneficiary.

Although these additions to the voting strengths will be modest, we offer them as a thank you to those who are supporting the project through delegations and beneficiaries.

We hope these changes to the Delegation Rewards and the Atlas Votes will help us continue to build a strong and self-sustaining economy for the Steem Atlas project.

We strongly believe Steem Atlas can become a flagship project for the Steem blockchain.

Thank you
