The CTP Swarm Booster is continuing to progress nicely. The value of the token is now 3.8% higher than at the beginning of the month, which represents an APR of around 51%. This value came down a little bit mainly because of the Hard Fork. People had difficulties to post and upvote and the project couldn't work perfectly for a couple of days.
Nice growth of CTP stake thanks to delegations
Thanks to the option that the CTP token can now be delegated, we received about 55'000 CTP delegations that are now actively upvoting your posts. At the same time, all the curation rewards are staked and are used to give more value to the upvotes. You get now a nice upvote in Hive and also in CTP.
The mistery of the reward curve
The reward curve is probably one of the biggest mysteries of this blockchain. Nobody really understands how it works. What you should know is that the reward curve has a negative effect on all the posts that reach less than 2$ in value. A big percentage of the vote value can be lost. The higher the value of a post, the more the upvotes are worth. We should all strive that our posts reach 2$ or more in value.

Ways to grow the value of your posts
You can also contribute to beat the reward curve by writing quality posts that attract manual curators. The better your posts, the more chances you will have to get upvoted.
If you put tags like ctp or leofinance to your posts, you will attract people who look to curate in these tribes. With leo finance, the reward curve has been abandoned for a linear one. This brings another nice side effect: it doesn't matter when you vote! So you might get leofinance upvotes later on that can also give you hive value.
