SBD:STEEM Spread Widens As Network Posts Zero Income
The SBD:STEEM spread has widened to 0.232% today, with the best bid at 0.102396 and best ask at 0.102633.

The network's internal SBD balance remains negligible at 0.015, while STEEM in orders totals 9.261, indicating a preference for maintaining liquidity in the base asset rather than the quote.

The pulse API recorded 11 business requests, indicating some external activity despite the lack of visible engagement.

At this scale, income clearly comes from attention-based author rewards rather than capital operations. The network's 0 USD daily income contrasts with the 62.929012 VESTS in unclaimed rewards, demonstrating that value accrues through content participation and curation, not through trading or financial operations. The tiny capital base of 0.69 USD further confirms that attention-based rewards—distributed as VESTS—are the primary value driver at this operational scale.
