To sum up the growth of Steem's Ecosystem, I've made this infographic of the latest developments that are currently active on Steem's Blockchain. Steem has been operational for over 2 years but has managed to onboard thousands of users and has attracted several entrepreneurs interested in it's distributed ledger & growing community
''We can expect more projects in the future as the general public has yet to explore all the opportunities that Steem's Blockchain has to offer since it allows developers to build decentralized applications on top of it''
Some creative individuals have shown their support by utilizing the fundamental technology powering this platform. This post is dedicated to sum up the existing applications that are operational, and the end-result of a dedicated Steemian (nickname for Steemit User)
So it's actually possible, to develop custom applications on top of Steem? Like most users, you may have discovered Steemit.com which is just a user-interface built on top Steem, a Blockchain that is capable of doing so much more besides just being a social media platform. Over the following years, entrepreneurs will realize the opportunity that blockchain technology has to offer, those contributing to Steem are essentially bootstrapping the digital currency that is designed for micro-transactions, social networking & distribution of wealth
Keep in mind that this community is still the adoption phase, with more active users there will be a growing demand for services to be established, it helps that a distributed ledger like Steem makes it easy for developers to work with its data. Make sure to follow me @steemitguide as I will be reviewing each of these Steem-based services in the near future
