Abstract
Advancements in distributed ledger technologies are driving the rise of blockchain-based social media platforms such as Steemit, where users interact with each other in similar ways as conventional social networks. These platforms are autonomously managed by users using decentralized consensus protocols in a cryptocurrency ecosystem. The deep integration of social networks and blockchains in these platforms provides potential for numerous cross-domain research studies that are of interest to both the research communities. However, it is challenging to process and analyze large volumes of raw Steemit data as it requires specialized skills in both software engineering and blockchain systems and involves substantial efforts in extracting and filtering various types of operations. To tackle this challenge, we collect over 38 million blocks generated in Steemit during a 45 month time period…
