likwid 2nd layer beneficiary for dapps

We are excited to announce a new *likwid* feature targeted at dApps.

Intro

Vested reward (SteemPower) is often a liability for businesses. The option of inmediate liquid rewards has many potential applications. There is however a limitation in how the *beneficiary STEEM-native feature* can be exploited. This new feature is an application-based beneficiary abstraction layer that allows dApps to keep their beneficiary scheme while using *likwid*. Under normal circumstances, *likwid* needs to be set as beneficiary for a given *dApp-powered* post. However, a problem arises for dApps which operate on a "traditional beneficiary monetisation model"; *likwid* utilisation would clash with it. Now with the implementation of a `custom_json` operation during post signing *likwid* will follow the beneficiary pattern specified at this very json document.

Benefits

Startups sometimes struggle in competitive enviroments rewarding their customers in a timely manner. We help professionals reward their customers at a more appealing pace. Basically, dApps can now pay their customers in cash (100% liquid) instantly at payout time while keeping their usual beneficiary distribution.

Setup and configuration

The beneficiary proxy will be read from a `custom_json` container. [Official STEEM custom_json documentation](https://developers.steem.io/apidefinitions/#broadcast_ops_custom_json) All you need to do is appending a `custom_json` operation **within the same transaction where the `comment` operation is included** ![](https://i.imgur.com/1Ry2D0g.png) `[ "custom_json", { "required_auths": [], "required_posting_auths": ["example_account"], "id": "likwid-beneficiary", "json": "{ "id": "likwid-beneficiary", "beneficiaries":[["customerA", 9000], ["example_account",1000]] }" } ]` `id`and `beneficiaries`fields are mandatory
