What Is Appics ?
APPICS is a next generation, reward-based social media application that runs on top of the Steem blockchain, enabling people from around the globe to connect and allowing all participants to benefit.
THE VISION
Social media users spend many hours per day creating, sharing and viewing content – but they don’t earn anything from it.
APPICS aims to give people back their return-on-investment and rewards its users by turning “likes” into currency!
This concept, also known as “Proof of brain” has already been proven functional and successful on the blockchain-based blogging platform Steemit.com.
APPICS is the very first Smart Media Token based on the Steem blockchain and was created in full cooperation with Steemit Inc.
APPICS will provide one of the first mainstream appealing gateways to the world of cryptocurrencies for average social media users by offering an application that is intuitive to use and requires no previous knowledge about blockchain technology.
With the APPICS app users can earn digital tokens by creating and curating content. It’s as easy as posting a picture on any other social media platform – but with APPICS you get rewarded for it!

THE CONCEPT / THE APP
APPICS is based on a decentralized contribution-reward-system powered by the Steem blockchain and its native token is the APPICS coin (XAP) which returns the created value back to its source – namely the creators and curators of the network.
Rewards are attached to “likes” and by creating or recognizing the value of content all participants get a fair share of the reward-pool.
Within the application, there will be 15 different categories of content – ranging from art to sports to lifestyle and more. Each category has a representative in the field, an experienced social media user who has built a reputation and audience on other social platforms, namely a social media influencer. APPICS utilizes their power by integrating them into the platform as category judges. The influencer’s “like“ will have a large weight on the rewards due to frozen funds being put into their account wallets. They will be able to judge content and give advice within their specialized category and act as a moderator, filtering valuable content as well as bringing their existing audience to APPICS, allowing them to benefit as well.
But of course APPICS also enables newcomers to become an influencer themselves, by being the early adopters of a new social media revolution.
APPICS combines social media and rewards, cryptocurrency and mass adaption, income and passion!
