Although I voted for my witnesses, I don't think I'm clear about what their function is? What are the duties and obligations of a witness? Thank you very much for proposing this topic. Greetings

Greetings friend @nancybriti, I invite you to visit one of my publications about what we should know about witnesses.

Without witnesses, our blockchain will not work

Witnesses
What are Steem witnesses?
The Steem blockchain requires a set of people to create blocks and uses a consensus mechanism called delegated proof of stake, or DPOS. The community elects 'witnesses' to act as the network's block producers and governance body. There are 20 full-time witnesses, producing a block every 63-second round. A 21st position is shared by the backup witnesses, who are scheduled proportionally to the amount of stake-weighted community approval they have. Witnesses are compensated with Steem Power for each block they create.
