This is an amazing DApp I ever used . Here I'm mentioning some things which are outstanding about the DApp
- The interface of the DApp is quite impressive and user friendly anyone can use it without any problem and earn rewards.
- Everyone can delegate SP to smartmarket to earn some revenue and will get 100% share of profit
- Using smartsteem everyone can sell there votes
- While selling votes Steempower is freely available for manual voting
- WE can earn unlimited reward by referring this Dapp to our friends and family member which is very impressive. Anyone can earn good amount by doing this task.
The Things I Think are Not Good About The DApp.
Smartsteem is an amazing DApp but there are some things I don't like about the DApp:
- People with huge stack can game the system because they can send huge bids for there content promotion.
- As everyone can use the smartsteem so some people use to earn 15% ROI by promoting there low quality content.
- Sometimes system return the bid value without promotion.
- It is necessary to use master key to enter this platform if the smartsteem server get compromised we can loos our Master Password.
Comparing Smartmarket With Other Similar DApp.
There is no other blockchain based content promotion and investment platform that works like Smartsteem this innovative platform is extremely unique at the moment. There are also similar platform where we can Delegate our SP for revenue like @minnowbooster but smartsteem is better option for such types of work.
My Experience and How Dclick Can Improve?
I have amazing experience of this DApp I always love to use its simple user friendly interface and enjoy its features. Sometimes when I send bid to promote my content system send it back without promotion while there are lots of votes available. I usually face this problem if it is fixed then its all fine.

Smartsteem is one of the decentralized Finance DApp listed on the State of the DApps platform. Presently, the ranking of Smartsteem is at #54 on the State of the DApp. But in the Finance, it ranks as the 7th most used Media App.
