Steem Basic Income
Steem Basic Income (SBI) is a social experiment to bring a basic income to as many Steemians as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Steem Basic Income is delivered through providing regular upvotes to member content.
Welcome to Steem Basic Income
Steem Basic Income (SBI) is structured as a subscription upvote service that utilizes the Steem blockchain to deliver a sustainable basic income. The ‘basic income’ that SBI provides is voluntary and self/crowdfunded, using Steem’s unique stake-based reward mechanisms. It serves as a continuous base of support.
On Steem, regular votes attract more votes. A 1 STEEM transfer sent to the @steembasicincome account will start an account in Steem Basic Income, while a USD$20 subscription (how much STEEM can you buy for $20?) is a great way to really boost an account’s growth - as long as that Steemian’s quality remains good.
How does it work?
A pending vote value is tracked for every enrolled account. Every 2.4 hours, we increase the pending upvote value based on several factors. Upvote value grows based on subscription level (how many SBI ‘units’ you have stacked up), bonuses from delegation, upvoting rewards, new member bonuses, and other potential airdrops and rewarded mgmt bonus units. (See our FAQ)
Each time an enrolled account posts, we check whether the account has accumulated enough pending vote value to support an upvote. It takes a pending balance of $0.06 to deliver our minimum upvote of $0.02, but we start every new member with enough to receive their first upvote right away. After your first upvote, the time until your next upvote depends on how long it takes to ‘recharge’ the pending vote value that was already delivered and bring your pending value above $0.06 again. (See Value Balances and Upvote Delivery for more detail).
What Should I do?
You don’t have to do anything - as long as your account is in good standing, you will receive regular upvotes as often as your pending balance grows enough. There are things you can do that will improve your SBI experience.
- Start by sending a ‘thank you’ to the account that enrolled you. That initial subscription will stack with any future enrollments and increase the regularity or size of the upvotes delivered to you.
- Consider upvoting @steembasicincome or its official accounts (@sbi2, @sbi3, @sbi4, @sbi5, @sbi6, @sbi7, @sbi8, @sbi9, @sbi10, @sbi-booster)
- Follow @steembasicincome to stay informed. We publish regular contest lists that can help you grow your support level, updates about how we are doing on different performance metrics, spotlights and interviews of SBI members, and ongoing information about development milestones or program changes.
- If you have available resources, decide whether your Steem commitment justifies an investment in lifetime upvotes. If you’re not sure, try a delegation first - the return is consistently higher than self-voting with the same SP and you can always recall the ‘investment’ if you decide you are unsatisfied.
- If you lack available resources, decide whether crowdfunding your own support base would get you the upvotes you crave. We have many members that receive meaningful daily upvotes just through regularly entering contests and upvoting our updates.

This is my favorite project on the entire Steem platform. Not only with how well it is structured, but in the consistency of its operation, and the layout of the posts that are published on a regular basis. It is a professionally run, well oiled machine.
Not so well oiled as we would like, but we are getting there...
Thank you for your support!

This is like upvote bank in a way?
I'm not familiar with the program you're referring to, but the linked articles may provide the information you need to make an accurate comparison.
Great bit of information and looking forward to growing with the sbi program. Thanks.
It is a bit strange to rehash an old post and flick a penny into probably hundreds of wallets to buy a comment but here I am.
Mainly because I like this social experiment as it slowly makes transacting with the blockchain in the form of original articles gradually increasingly profitable.
Secondarily because you are adding value to the blockchain in the form of upvotes, micro transactions to the wallets and soliciting engagement in a creative way.
Tertiarily (izzat a word?) because my run-on sentences are in high demand in the steemiverse and who am I to deny the masses.

Thanks for the feedback! We were actually stress-testing some features and decided to use it to promote our new welcome post. It is a bit strange and we probably won't do it again.
Greetings, I already transferred 1 STEEM for registration, I follow you and I vote for https://steemauto.com/, additionally I delegated 2 SP.
love SBI and giving some away ever week at PYPT ... good job guys

Maybe you should not mix up Steem and $ here? Especially people new on steem will be confused anyway with Steem, SBD, $, €... and all that voting rules.
These are intentionally different. 1 STEEM is the minimum enrollment level, but people seem to think that 1 STEEM will get lifetime upvotes on EVERY post, no matter how frequently they post.
When we started out, 1 STEEM was enough for upvotes every day, but that was before micro-taxes on every upvote and STEEM price was 24 times higher than then than it is now.
Realistically, since people interpret upvote values in $ (or STU technically) they should think of SBI enrollment cost in dollar. Nobody would realistically expect $0.012 daily from a $0.40 investment, they just don't do the math.
Greetings, how much is the minimum of SP that I can delegate, so that you begin to support me with votes? Thank you
After an initial enrollment of 1 STEEM, we reward bonus units for each 2 SP delegated.
Greetings, ready; I already transferred 1 STEEM, I follow you, I vote for you and I delegate 2 SP.
