Byteball is a cryptocurrency platform that was inspired by the idea of building real-world connections using virtual platforms. Data collaboration across platforms allow users to enjoy a number of apps with various functions that make life easier and more convenient.
A basic mechanism for building connections is attestation, i.e. authentication. They started with real name attestation, email attestation, and accredited investor attestation. Byteball stepped up their game by introducing Steem attestation.
What is Steem Attestation?
Through this amazing feature, Steem users are able to link their Steem usernames to their Byteball address. This means that user data, such as Steem username and reputation are stored on Byteball's database. These are then stored securely and made available for users to access certain features and enjoy privileges.
Bytes and other Byteball-issued tokens, which, like other tokens, can be sent to steem usernames for users to make e-transactions. Also, Steem users are rewarded based on their reputation, which reflect how influencial they are on the Steem's social networking platforms.
Users with higher reputation receive bigger rewards. Below is a table that shows the range of rewards available:
| Reputation | Rewards ($) |
|---|---|
| Above 30 | 10 |
| Above 40 | 20 |
| Above 50 | 40 |
| Above 60 | 80 |
| Above 70 | 160 |
