What does Steem Dollars do?
Steem Dollars (CRYPTO:SBD) are a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, serving the Steem blockchain to incentivize content creation and curation. They also play a vital role in supporting the Steemit blogging and DLive streaming platforms.
SBD is generated as users power up their STEEM tokens, the native cryptocurrency of Steem. This process involves locking up STEEM for a period, yielding SBD and voting power in return. Users earn SBD through content creation, upvotes, and curation activities.
The Steem team is actively engaged in projects to enhance the SBD ecosystem, such as the Witness Program for rewarding node operators, the Proposal System for community-driven blockchain changes, and the Development Fund for feature and application development.
The primary objectives of the Steem Dollar project include providing a stable and reliable cryptocurrency for content rewards, empowering the Steem ecosystem, and establishing a decentralized, community-driven platform.
