Details
In this update, I have added the new wallet feature's information to both Quick Start Guides and to the Knowledge Base, added new list of exchanges to one of the FAQs, created a new tutorial on Powering up your account and last but not least, I added a one new FAQ.
Components
Wallet page
Clicking Wallet on either the side navigation menu or the top menu will take you to your Wallet page on Utopian.
This page shows you the current status of your Steem wallet (how much of the currencies you hold and a brief history of your transactions). It also shows you how much the STEEM and SBD currencies are trading for on the cryptocurrency markets.
From this page, you can make transfers of either STEEM or SBD to other Steem accounts. To perform other actions such as powering down your account, you'll need to go to steemit.com and access your wallet from there.

New Tutorial: Powering up your Steem Account
The Steem Power that an account holds can be increased through a process called "Powering Up." This involves turning liquid STEEM into Steem Power. If your account already has STEEM to use in this process, then following the steps below will power up your account with the amount of STEEM you choose.
- Go to your Steem account on steemit.com and click Wallet
- Click the dropdown beside your STEEM balance and choose the Power up option
- Enter the amount of STEEM you wish to power up and click Power up
Acquiring more STEEM
If your account doesn't have enough STEEM to power up, there are a number of ways in which you can acquire STEEM to power up with:
1) Buy Steem Power from Blocktrades
Blocktrades is an exchange accessible from within the Steem Wallet, and it facilitates the exchange of various cryptocurrencies for the any of the three native currencies of the Steem Blockchain (STEEM, SBD or Steem Power).
It offers an option to exchange one cryptocurrency for Steem Power, that will be powered up directly to your Steem account. To take this option, visit Blocktrades and initiate an exchange, with Steem Power as your output cryptocurrency.
2) Buy Steem and Power Up
STEEM can be purchased from cryptocurrency exchanges, withdrawn and sent to your Steem wallet and used to power up your account. Below is a list of cryptocurrency exchanges where STEEM is available:
Power up using another Steem Account
One Steem account can also power up another one by converting STEEM to Steem Power. To do this:
- Go through the steps described above to get to the power up window.
- Click Advanced and the window will expand to include more details.
- Write the name of the account you wish to power up in the field labelled To.
The STEEM you power up is vested in a smart contract, and it can only be withdrawn through 13 weekly withdrawals.
