Maybe some of you on HIVE have seen it before, there’s something called a KE Ratio for every account. It shows how much a user has earned from author rewards plus curation rewards over time. If you divide this total by the user's current Hive Power, you get the KE Ratio. It’s a small but interesting number that shows how efficiently someone is using their stake.
Some more details about this were shared by
@azircon a while ago, and there’s even a cool tool where you can check your own value at:
https://beebalanced.streamlit.app.
Today I saw someone asking about it in the Hive Chat, so I thought why not build a small prototype? And that’s what this is. A simple Tampermonkey script that shows the KE Ratio directly on PeakD.com, next to the reputation number of each user in your feed. It works like this: for every user shown in the post list, the script makes a request to the API by
@techcoderx, gets the author rewards, curation rewards, and Hive Power, calculates the ratio, and then shows it nicely beside the reputation.

To try it yourself, just install Tampermonkey on
https://www.tampermonkey.net, copy the script into a new userscript, and visit PeakD. It will load automatically for each user you see in the normal Feeds.
That’s all for now. It’s just a prototype, but it works. Maybe I’ll add more features later like color coding or sorting, but for now, it does exactly what it needs to: show the KE Ratio live on PeakD.
