... the TRON & STEEM partnership:
▪️1. Ned Scott sold his Steemit Inc. shares to Justin Sun. However, except for the change in leadership and collaboration with Tron, nothing much changes. The Steem token and ecosystem will remain for now. Also, the Steemit team will stay as it is.
▪️2. Next week they will publish the "communities" update.
▪️3. The SMT development is ready and will be released "soon" (no exact timeline).
▪️4. The Tron foundation will help to fund dApps.
▪️5. dApps will be listed on exchanges that support Tron, for example Poloniex.
▪️6. The blockchain ecosystem will be more stable and scalable due to more resources.
▪️7. Onboard more users is one of the priorities. TRON already has a widespread user base which they plan to bring over to the Steem ecosystem.
▪️8. Something interesting Sun mentioned is that they are cooperating with Samsung. newly launched Samsung Galaxy S20 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip mobile phones will come with access to TRON DApp services - so it might be possible to integrate existing dApps like APPICS in the future
Although there are still some unanswered questions, the livestream shed some light on the situation and we definitely see advantages from the acquisition.
Their resources, ecosystem and marketing experience will surely benefit the STEEM ecosystem and bring us closer to mass adoption 🚀
Also, Justin Sun mentioned APPICS in his medium blogpost, as the “dApp Instagram alternative”, which shows that we’re on their radar and he acknowledges our project and community - that’s great news!
▪️On another note: EOS just released the Beta for their new dApp Voice for U.S residents.
If you are one of the early testers, what do you think of the dApp and how is the user experience so far?
So what did you think about the livestream, and about the TRON & STEEM cooperation in general?
