APPICS is now migrating to the new EOSIO blockchain powered by Telos which has some powerful key benefits like a customized reward mechanism, faster blockchain features, cross-posting options and many more!
It hit me.
Everyone was waiting to see the next move by the promising dApp APPICS.
Recently it had shared with its community that it planned to use both steem & hive integration
However a few minutes ago I saw this announcement, confirmed also by the official twitter account of Appics!

Quoting from the article:
Why APPICS chose Telos?
New Social Media Reward System
The existing reward system APPICS was using in Steem wasn’t fit for purpose so the foundation worked closely with APPICS to develop a social media smart contract layer that makes Telos one of, if not the most Social App friendly blockchain platforms available. We look forward to releasing more information on this developer product soon.
Account Creation
Currently on Steem, APPICS has needed to hold off on a celebrity influencer campaign due to limitations with Steem account creation among other concerns.
Performance
Telos has the speed, scalability and user experience few other blockchains including Steem can match.
Uma, the APPICS CEO had this to say:
When we learned about Telos and its advanced technical features, especially being able to create instant accounts, we knew it was the right fit to help us deliver the best possible user experience.
CEO of APPICS, Uma Hagenguth
What do we have to expect now?
I am not sure, but I believe that we will soon be advised how this process will take place and what (if any) affects it will have to its user base.
Are you on APPICS?
Are you familiar with TELOS?
