Steemit is an American blockchain-based blogging and social media website. Users can gain a cryptocurrency, more specifically STEEM, for publishing and curating content (i.e., posts). Users can also be rewarded with STEEM based on their comments. The company is owned by Steemit Inc., a privately held company based in New York City and a headquarters in Virginia. HIVE is the official cryptocurrency on the successful fork of the main Steem blockchain in 2020. In addition, this fork has many of the features of the main Steem blockchain and a series of original ones, such as badges.
== Operating principle == Steemit is designed as a decentralized application (DApp) built upon the Steem blockchain, using the eponymous cryptocurrency STEEM to reward users for their content. By voting on posts and comments, users get to decide the payout of those posts. Users also receive "Curation Rewards" for finding and upvoting content that gets upvoted by other users afterwards.
