Exploring the Potential of Steem Blockchain Through DApps

DApps, or Decentralized Applications, are software programs that run on a blockchain network, ensuring distributed operation without a central authority. These applications use smart contract technology to autonomously execute actions based on specific inputs and conditions, offering transparency, immutability, and resistance to censorship. Here are four DApps that might interest Steem users, each with their respective blockchain addresses for easy access:


Steemit: This is the original DApp built on the Steem blockchain. It serves as a blogging and social networking platform that rewards users with STEEM for publishing and curating content. It's significant for Steem users as it's at the heart of content creation and community interaction within the Steem ecosystem.

Splinterlands: A popular collectible card game that operates on the Steem blockchain. Users can play, trade cards, and participate in tournaments to earn rewards. It's engaging for the Steem community as it offers a fun and interactive way to earn cryptocurrency through gameplay.

dTube: This DApp is a decentralized video sharing platform akin to YouTube, but without the centralization and restrictions that often accompany conventional platforms. For Steem users, dTube provides an alternative for sharing video content and earning rewards without concerns about demonetization or censorship.

DLIKE: One of the leading DApps on the Steem blockchain, DLIKE has innovated by introducing an AI feature. Steem users can ask questions to the DLIKE AI, which searches for information from search engines to provide precise answers. The responses are then published on Steem as user posts, offering users the ability to edit them directly on Steemit.

These DApps exemplify the potential of decentralized applications and how they can be used to diversify the use of the Steem blockchain beyond mere blogging, expanding the ecosystem, and providing new ways for users to interact and earn rewards.

Calculating Commissions on Steemscan with "Quick Convert"

Quick Convert: It allows users to easily convert their Steem into other cryptocurrencies. To use it, enter the amount of Steem you want to trade, choose the desired cryptocurrency (USDT, BTC or TRX), enter the withdrawal address, create the order and confirm the transaction with your active key.

Using the "Quick Convert" feature on Steemscan is a direct and transparent method to convert STEEM cryptocurrency to USDT, BTC or TRX. When you enter the amount of STEEM you want to convert, the platform automatically displays the corresponding value in the selected currency, based on the current exchange rate.

Here's how it works:

Currency Selection: Click on the currency of your choice - USDT, BTC or TRX - to see how much your STEEM is worth in that currency.

Commission display: Next to the converted value, Steemscan also provides the amount of commissions for the transaction. This allows you to be fully informed about the costs of the service before confirming the order.

For example, if you convert 20 STEEM to USDT, Steemscan will show you the estimated amount you will receive in USDT and the associated USDT fees. This transparency system ensures that you can make an informed decision regarding your cryptocurrency conversions.
