What is Steem and How Does It Work?

Steem is a social blockchain platform launched in 2016 by Dan Larimer and Ned Scott that revolutionised content creation by introducing cryptocurrency rewards for social media activity. Built as the first blockchain specifically designed for social applications, Steem enables users to earn STEEM tokens by creating, curating, and engaging with content across its ecosystem.

The platform operates on a Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism, allowing for fast transaction processing and scalability. Steem powers real-world applications like Steemit, a decentralised social media platform where users are rewarded for their contributions. The blockchain features three native tokens: STEEM for trading, Steem Power for governance and influence, and Steem Dollars as a stable value token.

  • Social blockchain rewarding content creators with cryptocurrency
  • Powers Steemit and other decentralised social applications
  • Three-token system including STEEM, Steem Power, and Steem Dollars
  • DPoS consensus enabling fast transactions and low fees
  • Community governance through stakeholder voting mechanisms
