STEEM

Many traditional social media companies have made lots of money through the content produced by their users. However, what sets Steem apart is the support it offers to its users by rewarding them for their valuable input to the platform.

One unique feature of the network is that it is based on blockchain technology —making it the first of its kind. As a result, it is non-custodial and decentralized, with no downtime or data abuse, and the platform’s data are perfectly secured too. Also, users are paid in cryptocurrencies for participating on the platform.

Steem is guided by one key principle: that those who contribute to a venture should be paid by the owners, just like startups do by allocating shares during funding rounds. Another core belief is to serve its community members by rendering various financial services and opportunities.

Token Economics

Unlike other blockchains where new coins are created through mining, Steem distributes the bulk of its coins (STEEM) to the rewards pool. STEEM is the primary coin of the protocol. The pool distributes tokens to users on the platform based on their input.

Witnesses (block-creating accounts) add new blocks to the Steem blockchain every three seconds. Therefore, STEEM is produced by the network daily and the new coins are distributed in this manner:

• Content curators and authors receive 75% of the new coins created.
• Users with Steem Power holdings (another Steem cryptocurrency) are allocated 15% of the coins.
• The remaining 10% is awarded to witnesses.

The other two cryptocurrencies apart from STEEM are the Steem Dollars (SBD) and Steem Power (SP).

After the company was bought by Justin Sun, founder of Tron platform, there was a restructuring of Steem’s operations. Therefore, new blocks are no longer created through mining and the network does not use proof-of-work.

The protocol does not rely on proof-of-work to create new blocks but schedules witnesses to create a block every three seconds. However, the Steem blockchain uses delegated proof-of-stake to increase transaction speed on the platform and make it more scalable. Witnesses are rewarded with Steem Power for every block created.
