• Steem is a social blockchain protocol designed to incentivize the participation and the sharing of content in decentralized networks.

  • Steem was the second Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) network created by Dan Larimer, following BitShares and preceding EOS.

  • Featuring free transactions, the Steem blockchain allows for micro-transactions, upvoting, and other content curation actions to occur with little friction.

  • In Steem, witnesses are selected by stakers who receive voting power for every STEEM they stake. Afterward, witnesses produce blocks for the chain.
