Curators

The Top Curators list will dynamically change weekly depending on performance. Anybody will be able to rise up the ranks with consistent, quality curation. Inconsistent, low-quality curation will result in dropping out of Top curators list(or regular curation, if under-performance continues). Exceptional long-term top curators transition to direct curation.

This week, we have upvoted 119 posts submitted by curators in https://streemian.com/guild/curie, with 1,190 STEEM to be paid out to curators.
