How to buy and use Steem Dollars (SBD)

Steem Dollars (SBD) is a cryptocurrency used for content creation and social media. It runs on the Graphene blockchain, which uses a Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism. Instead of relying on miners, the network uses witnesses to validate transactions and maintain the blockchain. This design is intended to provide high-speed transaction processing and lower energy consumption.

Users earn SBD by posting content, commenting, and voting on the Steem platform. SBD can be converted to STEEM and vice versa, which provides liquidity and helps maintain its peg to the dollar.

Where SBD is available

SBD is available through the following verified routes:

• HTX (SBD/USDT)
• CRMClick (SBD/USDT)
• Raydium (CPMM) (Fartcoin/SBD)
• Meteora DAMM v2 (CATE/SBD)

Deposit and withdrawal support for these routes is not verified.

Network and redemption caveats

SBD is not listed as a token on other platforms in our database. Users must verify the specific withdrawal network supported by their chosen exchange or wallet. The Steem Dollars explorer is available for checking addresses and transactions. For deeper project verification, users can refer to the official whitepaper or the source code.

Custody, depeg, and issuer risks

Exchange availability, KYC requirements, and account features vary by country. Users should not assume that every listed exchange supports deposits and withdrawals for the same network.

The stability of SBD is achieved through market mechanisms and the backing of the STEEM token. Risks include the possibility of a depeg if these mechanisms fail. Users should avoid treating live price or volume snapshots as permanent information.
