{Test} - 12% APR for Hive Power Delegations (Up from 8%)

Good afternoon everyone,

As the title says, the APR for Hive account@empo.voter HP delegators has been increased up to 12% APR.

The change is already LIVE.
(First round of rewards in a few hours).

Looking at the data for the last 6 months since the APR was reduced to 8%, it is clear that this APR is not attractive enough for HIVE Power delegates and has gradually fallen into disuse in favor of other alternatives in the HIVE ecosystem that pay 10-12%.

Add to that the fact that the APR for voting on autopilot is already around 6-8%, and it is clear that delegating HP to empo.voter is nowhere near the top of profitability.

So I thought I would try this little experiment and see how it goes.

As the title also says, this is a test to gauge how much interest there is in a 12% APR paid in PWR, but I can't promise to maintain it indefinitely. So I am going to give a couple of guarantees:

• This 12% APR will be held for a MINIMUM of 6 months*.
• One month's notice will be given before being reduced again**.

(6 months means from now until the second week of September '25)
(*Could be announced as early as August to end in September)

These two clauses are simply there to guarantee a minimum duration and stability over time. As you should know, withdrawing a Hive Power delegation takes 5 days during which the HIVE is in limbo. These are 5 ''lost'' days of revenue and therefore must be taken into account; timing is important.

Any comment or suggestion, I'm all ears. I'm out!
