Join our mission in creating the social media experience we all want. We believe every creator should own the keys to their own community. You've worked hard to build trust and loyal superfans. No one should be able to take that away from you. See a post or comment you love? Now you can effortlessly tip others in the community for creating something that makes you laugh, think, or just because you're in a giving mood. We are reimagining social media and putting the power back in the hands of people like you. We are building Zion on the Bitcoin Lightning network. This means posts, comments, chat messages, and tips are truly peer-to-peer. You own your content, data, and community.

Steemit has redefined social media by building a living, breathing, and growing social economy, a community where users are rewarded for sharing their voice. It's a new kind of attention economy. Steemit is one of the many websites (including DTube, and SteemPeak.com) that are powered by the Steem blockchain and STEEM cryptocurrency. All of these websites read and write content to the Steem blockchain, which stores the content in an immutable blockchain ledger, and rewards users for their contributions with digital tokens called STEEM. Every day, the Steem blockchain mints new STEEM tokens and adds them to a community's "rewards pool". These tokens are then awarded to users for their contributions, based on the votes that their content receives. Users who hold more tokens in their account as "Steem Power" will get to decide where a larger portion of the rewards pool is distributed.
