RE: STEEMwatch Vol. 1 – March 2025 Activity Snapshot
🚨 Still debating how many actual Steem accounts exist? Official nodes say 3.65M, others insist it's closer to 1.93M. Who's right? Honestly... we don't know yet 😅 Stay tuned
This account was created today with Id# 1,931,850. If I understand right, that number just increments by one with each new account. Also, I have a script that downloads all account balances. Last time I ran it was March 9, and it had 1,931,266 lines at the time. So, I'm fairly sure that 1.93 million is the right number.
Maybe some of the API endpoints are double-counting some of the accounts for whatever reason...
Yeah, same here. I ran a script to fetch all Steem usernames and got 1,931,855 accounts.
I used an RPC endpoint that gives that number via the
condenser_api.get_account_countmethod.However, I didn’t use the official node RPC — when I run the same method there, it returns about 3.6 million accounts.
So I started wondering: maybe if I use the official node to fetch all accounts, I’ll actually get the full 3.6 million.
I got lazy and didn’t fetch them again with the official node at first, but I’ve just started doing that now.
Also, this file has all the Steem account usernames I previously fetched:

Thanks for the ID info too — I didn’t know about that!
Today, I downloaded all accounts from one of the nodes that's reporting 3.6 million. Even there, the download file has 1,933,809 lines.
Yeah, me too. I got the same result when I used the official Node.
