Overview of Appics:

Recently, Steemit CEO @ned announced the new concept of smart media tokens for the Steem Blockchain.

Smart Media Tokens (SMT) give anyone the power to launch and sell Proof-of-Brain tokens, which are tokens distributed by “upvote” and “like”-based algorithms”. You can view the white paper here

APPICS is the very first Smart Media Token based on the Steem blockchain and was created in full cooperation with Steemit Inc.

Similar to Steemit, users earn rewards in form of cryptocurrency by creating and curating content. But in contrast to Steemit, APPICS is a mobile application that focuses on instant sharing and fast consuming of visual content like pictures and videos, as seen on one of the fastest growing social media applications in the world, Instagram. That is, APPICS operates just like Instagram platform, but users get rewarded for their contents.

APPICS targets mainstream social media users who spend countless hours on centralized platforms and yet struggle to monetize their brand - whether those are Influencers who don’t receive a fair share for the value they bring to the platform, or even users without a large following who have never experienced any form of monetization.

So you see, similar to steemit, you get paid for your contents.

Check out this video to be further blown away:

The Concept/App: The app mobile application will be similar to steemit, in that you can post, comment and upvote (like) any user and get rewarded in XAP(Appics coin). There will be a built-in wallet where user can store XAP, receive and transfer XAP from and to other users respectively, and also to make payments.
The APPICS Power: This play an important role in the APPICS user account. The APPICS power determine the state of your inferential and also account of the amount of XAP token you give out when liking your content or other people content. The more the APPICS power more inferential you become in the APPICS ecosystem.

1. Marketplace: APPICS design a marketplace interface based on app system to advertise product. The users on the APPICS ecosystem have opportunity to use this marketplace to sell or buy product using XAP token as a medium of exchange without converting the XAP token to fiat currency or involve traditional bank. APPICS app is fully design for advertise ,sell product and receive payment as XAP token.
2. Live stream: The visual is a great tool feature of communicate and interaction among people in the social media world. Instagram and Snapchat are known for this service but users do not receive any reward for time spent while streaming, the money generated from the live stream shared within the shareholders. APPICS has made it possible for users to benefit from the money (reward) generated from the live stream.
3. Storage: APPICS run on decentralized storage. This decentralized storage is a profitable system to users that involve in cloud storage.

Video: The video is integrated into the APPICS app. Video can be upload by the users on the APPICS and the video is decentralised, no limitation or censorship unlike YouTube which require 10000 views before the account is monetized or small account are restricted to add advert on their video. APPICS provide a straight ahead earning XAP token from the uploaded video by the user.
5. Distribution of Reward: These are divided into creators, curators and APPICS company. The creator is the user that publish or post a content while curators are users that like the content post by the creator. These likes are converted to XAP token with the application of steemit blockchain technology. The distribution of the reward payout are divided into creator receive 65% of the payout, curators receive 25% and APPICS receive 10%.
