Important developments on steem blockchain

in #steemitblog7 years ago

it is undeniable what steem ecosystem has turn the world. The freedom is giving to the oppressed by the traditional system. Its fast and trending development with fame can not be cover up. indeed this is what the world need today, there is nothing that feels like to be free. I have been thinking of written on some wonderful projects on built on steem blockchain. today i finally made up my mind to write on few on of them. I hope you will find this post useful as you read through:

SMART MEDIA TOKEN (SMTs)

Few weeks ago @ned posted a breaking news about the new ground breaking development on steem blockchain. This new development has got everybody attention on steemit and across. Indeed it will be a ground breaking achievement if it is successfully launched. I never doubt steem blockchain for a seconds for how it has been changing and impacting lives positively across the globe through empowerment and freedom to express your potentials. Without wasting time, I would be discussing in summary what SMTs is:

What is Smart Media Token?

SMTs is a new development as I have said earlier on steem blockchain for publishers, social communities, web platforms, applications, to monetize and also to appreciates the efforts of contributors and users. Smart Media Token utilize proof of Brain algorithms through which you can create a token for your services to reward contributors and users
. Smart Media Token utilize proof of Brain algorithms through which you can create a token for your services to reward contributors and users. It is distributed to contributors which can be earn through upvotes or like and also payout in your customized token like that of. Users and whatever your plan is. This technology will be using the same reward algorithm system. Upvotes is used instead of likes used on some traditional social network platform like Facebook without monetary rewards. Steem blockchain is changing that and now making the world a better place. The interesting part of this project is that anybody can create apersonalized token of their own for their content based project or community to appreciate the efforts of contributors, users just like steemit works. You can get more info on the Smart Media Token Whitepaper

SMTs are a breakthrough for bridging the world’s content applications to tokens in a way

that aligns incentives between the users of a network and the entrepreneurs building the
applications. By leveraging the concepts of inflation (new token emissions) and token allocations by post-based voting, SMTs exist in a manner where value must be distributed
to users who are participating in their related content networks and applications. Entrepreneurs may now create tokens to integrate with their blog, application, or an entire
network of applications and topics. With SMTs, the entrepreneurs have the flexibility
to decide on the economics of the tokens they integrate into their products, from the
inflation rates to the algorithms that distribute the tokens.
Two unique properties align incentives and make SMTs “smart and social” compared to
other tokens (such as bitcoin, ether and ERC-20s). The fist is a pool of tokens dedicated
to incentivizing content creation and curation (called the “rewards pool”). The second
is a voting system that leverages the wisdom of the crowd to assess the value of content
and distribute tokens to it. These two unique properties when combined are referred
to as Proof-of-Brain, which an entendre is based on Proof-of-Work, meant to emphasize
the human work required to distribute tokens to community participants. Proof-of-Brain
positions SMTs as a tool for building perpetually growing communities, which encourage
their members to add value to the community through the built in rewards structure.

Lots of steemians have been waiting for this project to launch,according to the officials, it will be launched any moment from now. I also cannot wait to zap so hard.
Zappl is another web application that will be running on steem blockchain. Everyone is familiar with the traditional microblogging social platform known as twitter where you can post short form of words,videos,link and also pictures to pass some informations to people. Zappl has come to replace Twitter.


What is Zappl?

Zappl is a decentralized alternative to Twitter. A decentralized short-form microblogging social media platform also similar to mastodon. You can check it out here onZappl.com. This project was created by @steemitqa Consultant:@dougkarr . You can always check their blog for updates @zappl

Is a decentralized sound web platform built on steem blockchain to reward atists and Djs. It was developed in javascript. This platform allow its users to upload sound, musics and other audio files onto the platform and as well as listening ans exploration of songs and sound posted by it users. This will go a long way to reward artist both upcoming and the pro for their efforts. I am seeing this project in few years to come taking over the wheel from Spotify, Soundcloud,Youtube and Apple music among other audio platform Introducing DSound: a decentralized sound platform using STEEM and IPFS


Dtube.video

Another decentralized alternative to youtube that rewards it user with steempower and steemdollars. Dtube.video was created by @heimindanger some months ago to counter Youtube. Dtube.video is a web application also written in javascript just like Dsound, they both run on a browser. This web application gives its users the opportunity to upload and watch video just like YouTube does. It is very secure to use as it uses steem blockchain database for its activities. Navigating videos on Dtube is very easy. You can explore video contents in 3 main categories; NEW, HOT and TRENDING.

Why DO I Need To Start Using Dtube.video?

As we all know that there are lot of traffic and video content on YouTube, despite the traffics if you not put adverts on your video you can not earn money and even though you earn money bigger share of your earnng on YouTube belongs to YouTube and not you. You will only be pay little which you will work very hard to get your videos to the front of the public. The reverse is the case on steem blockchain and Dtube, because of the reward mechanism put in place. Your earnings belong to you, only the curators of your contents will just share little out of your earnings, you will have the lion share and the platform does not charge you for anything it is all free. Introducing DTube: a decentralized video platform using STEEM and IPFS (a project of @heimindanger)

The company is presently operating several services on the steem blockchain. Most of their services has been helping the minnows to grow faster and also giving their content the exposure they neede to grow. @buildteam developed some customise applications and sevices running on the blockchain ecosystem.
The team comprises of @thecryptodrive @reggaemuffin @adamm @techblogger @coinhawk @tech-trends @mildfun @netuoso @on247 @shrey @bulleth @tech-trends @kozak @netuoso @carlosd15 @heelzkinu @velimir @theprophet0 @scotbuckets @writingamigo @sirlunchthepost @gnocdepatat @bania @fatpandadesign @princewahaj @murda-ra @blueorgy @smooth @neoxian they have all done wonderful job to the contribution and the empowermenr of the minnows on steemit. The following are some of their projects @steemvoter @minnowbooster @steemsports Minnowbooster.
I can not mention all but these are few achievements so far on steem ecosystem. There are hundreds of upcoming wonderful projects . I see steemit as another planet full of peon minded and dedicated people.
