Mastering Your Blurt Wallet
Your Blurt wallet is your control center: balances, influence, rewards, fees, and advanced actions. Keep it simple: Liquid BLURT = activity, BP = influence, Savings = safety.
What these wallet fields mean
BLURT (Liquid)
Tradeable tokens you can transfer anytime. Liquid BLURT is also what pays for on-chain fees (posting, commenting, voting, transfers).
Practical tip: keep a small liquid BLURT buffer, otherwise you may be unable to comment or vote even if you are logged in.
BLURT POWER (BP)
Influence tokens (staked BLURT). BP increases your voting impact and your ability to earn curation rewards. You can increase BP by powering up (converting liquid BLURT into BP).
Your displayed BP can fluctuate if part of it is delegated (or received via delegation). Some wallet views also show an approximate BP growth rate (e.g., ~1.82% APR), which is subject to blockchain variance.
Savings
A protected balance with a withdrawal waiting period (commonly 3 days). This delay is a security feature: it gives you time to react if your Active key is compromised.
Use Savings for long-term holding — but remember the delay if you need funds quickly.
Estimated Account Value
A rough estimate based on an average BLURT price in USD at the time of viewing. It is useful for a quick overview, but it can differ from real market prices and liquidity.
Treat it as an approximation, not a guaranteed “cash-out value”.
Most frontends show your Vote Power as a percentage. Each vote reduces it. Lower % means weaker votes until it regenerates.
- Regeneration: about 20% per 24 hours.
- Consistent voting beats extreme bursts.
- If your vote power is low, slow down and let it recharge.
After the payout window (commonly ~7 days per post), rewards appear in your wallet. Use Claim Rewards to move them into your balances.
- Rewards can be a mix of liquid and staked (depends on payout settings).
- Some frontends show pending rewards on each post with a countdown.
Power Up / Power Down
Powering up converts liquid BLURT into Blurt Power (BP). This increases your influence and can improve vote value and long-term participation. Powering down converts BP back into liquid BLURT — but it happens gradually over time.
Power Up (BLURT → BP)
- Increases your long-term influence (BP).
- Helps with voting impact and curation potential.
- Useful if you plan to stay active on Blurt.
Power Down (BP → BLURT)
- Converts BP back to liquid BLURT over time.
- Usually paid out in scheduled portions (not instantly).
- Can be stopped/adjusted depending on frontend tools.
On Blurt, actions like posting, commenting, voting, and transferring can require small on-chain fees. Fees are paid from liquid BLURT. If your liquid balance is too low, you may be unable to interact.

Delegation (lend BP without losing ownership)
Delegation lets you temporarily lend Blurt Power (BP) to another account (a friend, a newcomer, or a community account). You keep full ownership, but the receiver gets more influence while the delegation is active.
Why people delegate
- Support communities and curation projects.
- Help newcomers have meaningful votes.
- Strengthen a project without transferring ownership.
What to remember
- You can reduce or cancel delegation at any time.
- After canceling, BP returns after a cooldown (often shown as ~7 days).
- Delegation reduces your available BP while it’s delegated.
Wallet Extensions & Browser Tools
Some users prefer browser-based wallet extensions or companion tools to sign transactions more conveniently. These tools can make daily use easier by reducing manual key handling and improving workflow.
Why people use them
- Faster login and transaction signing.
- Less manual copying and pasting of keys.
- More convenient use across supported frontends.
- In some cases, support for multiple blockchains in one tool.
What to be careful about
- Install extensions only from trusted sources.
- Always verify the official website or repository first.
- Be cautious with new or unknown tools asking for sensitive keys.
- Never treat convenience as a replacement for security.
