Steem is a social blockchain that grows communities and makes immediate revenue streams possible for users by rewarding them for sharing content. It’s currently the only blockchain that can power real applications via social apps like Steemit.
THE STEEM BLOCKCHAIN
Building better communities, creating rewarding opportunities and empowering entrepreneurs
We see a world where people get paid for their content and attention — a future where digital content is monetized without the necessity for advertising or selling user data, and communities have the same fundraising capabilities online as they do in everyday life. That’s why we’re building new token-based economic models on the Steem blockchain that create opportunities for people to bridge their passions with success via cryptocurrency rewards.
A new social media model where contributors get big perks
Shareholders of social media platforms made billions of dollars from user-generated content. The content creators? They made nothing.
Steem flips the model and returns the value to the people who contribute the most. Users become platform stakeholders, maintaining control over their data, and earning cryptocurrency rewards for each contribution they make.
