Utopian Colony - Things You Should Know About Utopian.io

source

Before we delve into the essentials pertaining to the Utopian platform, it would be wise to know what an open source is (after all Utopian is an open source project).

Whats an open source project?

Open source could be seen as any type of computer software to which a code or cryptograph is liberated under a license upon which the copyright possessor allows the end user the rights to review, study, change, and give away the software to anyone. According to Wikipedia an open-source is a perfect example of Open-collaboration.

To put this in perspective, open source could be seen as any program whose code has been put available for the utilization or modification for any purpose the end user desires to. It's called "open-source" because it is made freely available.

Additionally, Open Source is more like a certification mark legally owned by the OSI (Open Source Initiative). Developers and builders of software that has the intention of creating an open-source related code that can be used freely by the end users can freely utilize the Open Source Initiative (OSI) to execute that cause.

For a project to be tagged as Open-Source, it must possess the following below;

• Restriction must be ruled out, as such anyone can access that code with ease.

• The software code/cryptograph must be freely available upon which any interested party can be able to access or improve it.

Without further ado, let's delve into the peculiarities of Utopian.io

Utopian.io

Utopian.io is a community-based platform built on the steem blockchain. Since it is integrated on the steem blockchain, it's safe to say the platform is 100% decentralized. However, the Utopian.io is the first platform built on the steem blockchain where people get rewarded with steem and sbd tokens (listed on major exchanges) for the contributions they make in an Open Source Project.

In a way, Utopian.io is somewhat similar to steemit website, unfortunately, it can't be used as a social platform for normal posting. You only get rewarded when you contribute to Open Source Project. But that will change once the Utopian Indiegogo colony is out., where graphic designers, content creators, translators will have the opportunity to post via the platform and get rewarded.

What's the use of Utopian on the steem blockchain

Like I said earlier on, Utopian.io is an open source project that is out to reward open source contributions on the steem blockchain. Since steemit is a social media platform, I'm certain there are folks here who are more than just bloggers. Calling a spade a spade, Utopian.io is out to reward users fairly for the hard and tough work they put to contribute an open source project. Unlike other centralized platforms where they extract users craft and with no aim of rewarding them.

Peradventure you're a developer who has contributed to an open source project by adding new features or fixing a bug; don't you want to be rewarded for such hard work? I'm certain you want the rewards too. As such, this is where Utopian.io comes into play. The platform boasts of being the first platform that rewards users for contributing to an open source project.

My guess is; in the near future, there will be wealthy people whose fortune comes from contributing in an open source project.

How Utopian.io distributes rewards to contributors

At the time of writing this article, Utopian.io has 3.5 million steem power (delegated), and 76,700 thousand vested. Having such a huge stake, it's safe to say the Utopian.io project can reward all approved contributions with staggering. Every day, tons of contributions are submitted on the Utopian platform. With the help of the Utopian moderators, quality is assured.

Thereafter, as soon as your contribution is approved by the Utopian moderators, it is then shown in the Utopian feeds. The reward distribution goes on a number of factors like; the total number of votes the post have, amount in rewards, information about that post and many more. Take note; the moderators aren't the ones in charge of the rewards but the Utopian Bot. A big shout out to @stoodkev, he's the brain behind the bot.
