I picked up 500+ BXT yesterday after reviewing the BeeSwap stats.
The APR showing in the UI was 18–19%, which is competitive for a simple staking model, and historically BeeSwap has had a strong track record of daily HIVE payouts.
This wasn’t a speculative buy it was a clean, data aligned decision:
transparent token supply
consistent payout history
long running project
real utility on Hive Engine
clear APR curve
So after completing a couple Instacart batches today, I checked for the expected daily BXT distribution and noticed nothing had arrived.
At first, I assumed timing.
Then a sync delay.
Then I checked Discord.
That’s where the underlying issue became clear.
What Actually Happened (Based on the Dev’s Statements)
BXT payouts and HIVE payouts have been paused for ~48 hours
The pause isn’t intentional it’s due to node instability after the recent Hive hard fork
Multiple Hive RPC nodes were returning different results
These inconsistencies caused the automated payout scripts to fail
Fee distribution logic also had to be halted
The developer is dealing with broken automation, Beem crashes, and node rotation failure
In short:
BXT couldn’t pay because the data layer it depends on wasn’t reliable enough to run calculations safely.
This aligns with what Gerber described directly:
“Randomness from nodes”
“Different responses from different nodes”
“Hard to set up rotation”
“Forced to stop BXT and fees distribution”
Nothing in the conversation indicates malicious intent or abandonment.
It’s strictly an infrastructure issue created by the HF environment.
My Position Right Now
I just bought in, and I’m still positive on the project.
But I’m also data-driven, so I’m not going to stack additional BXT until payouts are formally restarted.
For clarity:
500+ BXT is currently staked
Expected APR was ~18–19%
No payout in the initial 24–48hr window due to the system pause
The cause is technical, not economic
BeeSwap is still functioning payouts are the only affected component
This isn’t a complaint.
This is me tracking the situation accurately so that anyone else staking BXT understands why their distribution may also be paused.
Final Assessment (Calm, Data-Based)
The hard fork introduced RPC inconsistencies
Those inconsistencies broke automated payout scripts
The developer paused distributions to avoid inaccurate calculations
Payouts will likely resume once nodes stabilize
BXT’s APR display remains accurate, but distributions are temporarily offline
My plan is simple:
Monitor the developer updates, validate when payouts resume, and then decide whether to increase my BXT position.
BeeSwap has been one of the more reliable HE tools historically, so the pause doesn’t change my long term view it just shifts my short term expectations.
