What is the Issuance and Circulation of STEEM Coins?1. Initial Coin Offering (ICO)
  • STEEM coins were first distributed through an ICO in March 2016.
  • A total of 250 million STEEM coins were created, with 100 million sold during the ICO.
  • The ICO raised a total of $3 million, which was used to fund the development of the Steem blockchain and ecosystem.
2. STEEM Power (SP)
  • STEEM Power (SP) is a measure of a user's influence on the Steem blockchain.
  • SP is earned by holding STEEM coins and interacting with the Steem ecosystem, such as posting content, voting on content, and curating content.
  • SP can be used to reward content creators, vote on proposals, and run witnesses (nodes that maintain the Steem blockchain).
3. STEEM Dollar (SBD)
  • STEEM Dollar (SBD) is a stablecoin that is pegged to the US dollar.
  • SBDs are minted by converting STEEM coins into SBDs at a rate of 1 SBD = $1 USD.
  • SBDs can be used to reward content creators, buy goods and services, or purchase advertising on the Steem blockchain.
4. Current Circulation
  • As of March 2023, there are approximately 350 million STEEM coins in circulation.
  • Of this, around 150 million STEEM coins are actively traded on exchanges.
  • The remaining STEEM coins are held by long-term investors, users, and witnesses.
5. Issuance Rate
  • The issuance rate of STEEM coins is determined by a formula that takes into account the total amount of STEEM Power (SP) in circulation.
  • The issuance rate is currently set to 10% per year.
  • This means that 10% of the total supply of STEEM coins is created each year and distributed to users based on their SP.
6. Burning Mechanism
  • STEEM has a built-in burning mechanism that reduces the total supply of STEEM coins over time.
  • When STEEM coins are converted into SBDs, 1% of the STEEM coins are burned.
  • This mechanism helps to maintain the value of STEEM coins by reducing the total supply.
