build-it (64)in #build-it • 5 years ago

Hello all.

It's been a little over 4 months since we launched our tribe/website on the Steem Ecosystem. Following our announcement documentary which can be found here, we explained some intricacies of our platform and how it will add value to the Steem Platform.

Within that time to date, the support and response we got from the Steem Platform was outrageous. Starting from our previous translation contests where we gave out over 1,125 liquid steem to translators, and since then we've been airdropping our BUILD tokens into the hands of our users in the form of upvotes.

At the time of drafting this document, there are over 200 "BUILD" stakeholders. While this is still a good news for us, we would like to spread more awareness concerning the different facets and benefits of staking our BUILD token.

Stake Your Build Tokens And Earn More

Staking your BUILD tokens gives you the power to curate your favorite DIY/How-to tutorial articles and in return, you earn a percentage for your action. It's more like a shared-ownership, but in this case, you're staking our BUILD tokens to earn more.

With the exception of the profits and benefits when staking your BUILD tokens, it's also a way to reward your favorite DIY/How-to content creators. What this means is that you don't necessarily need to be a content creator or blogger before buying and staking our BUILD tokens, it is optimal to purchase and stake our tokens with the intention of curating your favorite DIY/How-to content creators and in returns, you earn a decent amount from curating.

Your wallet is where all transactions are carried out i. staking, moving funds, etc. In this case, we'll be using the stake feature. As you can see from the image above, we have some unclaimed BUILD tokens, which are the rewards we get from curation. Crazy!

Step 4: Redeem your rewards (ignore if you don't have any rewards to redeem at that time

Move your pointer to the "Redeem rewards (transfer to balance)" to redeem your curation rewards, thereafter they will be transferred to your balance, where you can sell, stake or transfer them. But in this case, we're staking them.

After you've filled the amount you want to stake, click on "STAKE" and the exact amount you filled will be added to your "Build power", thus giving you more power to curate and influence other DIY/How-to content creators. In other words, the higher your stake, the bigger your influence on posts as well as your curation rewards. It's a win-win prodigy.
