Steemit is a blockchain-based social-media and blogging platform that rewards content creation and curation through the Steem blockchain's Proof of Brain mechanism. Steemit's Twitter Score is 69 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of August 2026, ranking #11,988 (top 5%) among 483,652 tracked accounts.
Steemit was co-founded by Ned Scott and Dan Larimer, launching its website in July 2016 as one of the earliest attempts to tie social-media participation directly to cryptocurrency incentives. The platform distributes STEEM tokens to users based on content creation and community curation, a model it describes as Proof of Brain. Steemit maintains open-source repositories for the Steem blockchain and its associated applications.
Steemit is affiliated with the TRON Foundation, which acquired the platform in February 2020. That acquisition triggered a governance dispute within the Steem community, ultimately resulting in the Hive hard fork on March 20, 2020, which split a significant portion of the original community onto a new chain.
Steemit has published 17,476 posts on the platform. It has been mentioned by 623 accounts, with 12,664 total mentions.
