Steemit, a new blockchain-based social media platform that lets users get paid for creating and curating content, has gone live with beta release.
The company, founded by Ned Scott and Dan Larimer earlier this year, aims at supporting social media and online communities by rewarding users with cryptocurrency, incentivizing thus the contribution of quality content.
“Our vision is to not only build an empowered community but give content creators an avenue to make money online without needing to advertise,” Scott, co-founder and CEO of Steemit, said in a media statement sent to CoinJournal.
“The versatility of the Blockchain has allowed us to create an incentivized social media platform to exchange conversation, creativity, empowerment, and value. We want to promote dynamic, creative dialogue and debate with an opportunity to earn.”
