Steem is a social blockchain launched in 2016 by Dan Larimer and Ned Scott. It was one of the first blockchains built specifically for social applications, and it lets people earn STEEM tokens by creating, curating and engaging with content across its network. The network runs on Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS), a consensus design that keeps transactions fast and fees low. It powers real applications such as Steemit, a decentralised social platform where community votes decide how contributors are rewarded. Steem uses a three-token system: STEEM for trading, Steem Power for governance and influence, and Steem Dollars as a stable-value token. Holders power up STEEM into Steem Power to gain more weight when voting on content and in community decisions.
