Steem is the C++ implementation of the Steem blockchain, a delegated proof-of-stake (DPOS) network designed for social media applications and Smart Media Tokens (SMTs). It runs as a p2p node with an integrated RPC API and wallet, powering decentralized apps like Steemit that reward content creators with cryptocurrency.
Use cases
- run a steem blockchain p2p node
- build a dapp on the steem blockchain
- issue smart media tokens for a community
- reward users with cryptocurrency for posting content
- query steem blockchain data via rpc
- operate an exchange node for STEEM deposits and withdrawals
- create a decentralized social network
When to choose
- you want to build social or content apps with built-in cryptocurrency rewards
- you need a fast, fee-free blockchain for high transaction volume
- you want to run a witness or seed node for the Steem network
- you need a turnkey token economy for your community
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose smart contract platform like Ethereum
- you want a mineable proof-of-work cryptocurrency
- you need EVM compatibility or Solidity tooling
- your project requires a blockchain with broad exchange and wallet support beyond STEEM
