Steemit Curator Report – Week 4 of August [Final Report]
Hello This is the Cryptid Hunter Curator Team.
As this marks the final week of our curation term, we would like to share our latest activities and reflections with the community.
1. Cryptid Hunter Updates
New Expansion Pack Released
Users can now mine NOVA tokens and use them to purchase expansion packs. This update strengthens the connection between user activity and the in-game token economy.Bug Fixes
Based on community feedback, various bugs have been successfully addressed, resulting in a more stable gameplay experience.Frontend Improvements Completed
UI/UX elements have been optimized to provide a more user-friendly interface.Mythic-Grade Cards Added
A new Mythic grade has been introduced as the highest-tier card, offering deeper strategy and collectible value.
2. Community Building
STEEM Offline Meetup Sponsored
Cryptid Hunter sponsored 200 STEEM for an offline Steemit meetup hosted by @vivigibelis in Barquisimeto, Venezuela. We also discussed potential marketing collaboration.
View Event PostMarketing Across TON & Steemit Communities
We continued to promote Cryptid Hunter across both the TON blockchain community and Steemit online spaces to attract new users.
3. Future Update Plans
NOVA Burn-Based Daily STEEM Reward System
Rather than focusing solely on a NOVA-STEEM swap system, we plan to introduce a structure where NOVA is burned to fund a daily STEEM reward pool, encouraging ongoing in-game activity.NOVA-STEEM Swap Function Completed
Although the swap feature is technically ready, we concluded that it may not significantly increase trading volume. Instead, a burn-based reward system offers better long-term sustainability.Additional Improvements Planned
Issues such as UI bugs on certain mobile devices and discomfort on the login page will be addressed through ongoing improvements.

Reward Principles
Rather than focusing on bounty-style content creators who repeat the same format, we prioritize actual players of Cryptid Hunter and those actively engaging in the community.
We’ve shared this philosophy with the STEEM Witness chatroom in hopes of fostering a more genuine and sustainable Web3 community on Steemit.
5. Recommended Posts of the Week (Top 7)

Reflections and Farewell
This is the final official report from the Cryptid Hunter curator team.
Reviewing user posts daily, writing comments, and carefully considering how to allocate voting power was far more challenging than we initially expected. However, through this effort, we gained a deeper understanding of the STEEM blockchain, its strengths, and its limitations — including the "bounty hunter" phenomenon.
We believe Steemit has great potential as a Web3 platform, but it must address these structural issues to achieve long-term growth and true community development.
We've already submitted our application for the August curation cycle. Regardless of whether we are selected again, we believe in Steemit’s future and sincerely hope this report helps contribute to the platform’s improvement.
While it may be impossible to eliminate all forms of abuse or repetitive bounty-style posts, we strongly believe there are ways to reward real participation, such as active engagement in communities and dApp usage.
During this period, we made every effort to promote Cryptid Hunter and connect with various communities, but admittedly, the outcome didn’t fully meet our expectations. Still, the experience was deeply meaningful, and we believe it will serve as a valuable foundation for both Cryptid Hunter and the Steemit ecosystem moving forward.
Thank you.

Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.
고생하셨습니다. 크립티드헌터 게임 덕분에 개인적으로 소통의 댓글이 2-3배는 늘어났네요. 그리고 저의 셀프보팅을 줄이고 대신 게이머에게 보팅하는 전환점도 되었네요. 다시한번 지난 한달동안 고생많으셨습니다.
Hi @cryptidhunter and @roadofrich you haven't curated the posts from @erinleeishere and @blackeyedm with curation account but you have selected these as the best post. I think the posts are chosen from curated posts.
I know it is your first time working as a curator. I hope it will help you to choose those posts which you have curated. I am sure you have gotten enough experience being a curator to work for the next month of you get a chance.
Moreover there are a few days in the completion of the whole month so it cannot be your final curation report as each day the curators have to select one post as a best pick.
