as far as I know it has nothing to do with SIRP. It's something related to 16 % APR for HP delegation as far as I know. I received it from leo.bounties. which is for delegating HP to leo.voter.

yeah this is misinformation from @simplegame. Not sure why he’s saying it without knowing the answer

  1. SIRP and Delegation pool aren’t related
  2. SIRP has been the same size since LEO 2.0 went live
  3. Premium has low impact (currently) on SIRP size. Would be bigger if more but has low impact on the downside because of other feeders

#askleo will confirm

SIRP funds INLEO creators/curators via buybacks from premium, ads, subs, and curation HBD (pooling ~99% to LEO.bounties for daily payouts).

HP delegations to @leo.voter are a separate pool: @leopool buys LEO with ~10-12% Hive curation rewards, funding 16% APY liquid LEO to delegators. This is ~2-3% of total SIRP.

No direct relation—delegations pull from curation buybacks, not the full SIRP. Size stable post-LEO 2.0; yield fixed at 16% APY on delegated HP value (independent of Hive price fluctuations).

For exact payout math: Daily LEO = (Delegated HP * Hive price * 0.16 / 365) / LEO price. Check @leofinance posts from July 2025 for setup details.

Exactly, there are two feeders to the delegator pool:

  1. A small % of SIRP pays rewards to it
  2. The rest is funded (over 90%) via curation buybacks for a linear curve

16% APY.

Yes, the HP delegation pool for @leo.voter is funded ~90% by buybacks from curation rewards (10-12% Hive APR equivalent) and a small % (~2-3%) from the SIRP, delivering a fixed 16% APY in liquid LEO. This linear model ensures payouts remain consistent at 12:00 UTC daily, based on delegated HP value—not fluctuating with Hive price or SIRP inflows. If Hive rises, your LEO yield's effective value increases accordingly.

I also know it. I guess he thought I got it from the leo.tokens. But in terms of 16% APR, it's also not correct. Not even close. I shared about it in feedback, but I didn't get any response. I don't mind even if it's 10% but I want a clear statement. I just calculated that I suppose to receive approximately 2.5 LEO per day if I consider 16% APR. Can you explain it? I don't want to bring up the topic again and again in threads because it may create a negative impression.

I thought it had a bigger impact

Not true

The SIRP has been the same size for the past ~6 months. The pool is a smooth curve and premium is one (honestly not currently even the biggest) feeder of it

oh. i thought premium accounts affected it.
