SMT is the original digital asset in Steem blockchain. SMT can be launched by anyone to help monetize online content and create incentives to drive the desired user behavior.

SMT resembles the ERC-20 Ethereum token, but with certain 'Proof-of-Brain' properties and token distribution reward systems designed specifically for the digital content business.

Social networks share millions of dollars for a moment
"Steemit is a newborn social media platform ... It rewards its users with cold cash and in the form of a digital currency. Everything you do in Steemit - every post, every comment, and everything similar - translates to a small portion of a digital currency called Steem. Over time, as Steem accumulates, the money can be disbursed for the normal currency. "
