The Steemit Engagement Challenge has started across 7 selected communities and of course, we are one of them. This is an article to notify you of a new contest in the Steemit Crypto Academy, the first of its kind apart from the trading contests that took place some time ago. All you need to know about the contest follows in other sections of this article.

Contest Theme: Favorite Blockchain Network

The blockchain technology have been proposed a long time ago as early as the '90s until its application in 2009, as the technology behind Bitcoin, the first ever cryptocurrency and this makes Bitcoin's blockchain the first in the crypto ecosystem. This is an invention of an anonymous individual or group of persons, to present Bitcoin as a digital asset to make payments with transactions recorded in a public ledger.

The earliest blockchain networks are associated with a few shortcomings which require further innovations to make the use of crypto assets more convenient for users in the ecosystem. Over the years, we have seen the emergence of new blockchain networks hosting different crypto projects, most aimed to correct some shortcomings of the earliest blockchain networks or to produce a project with more enhanced features to make the ecosystem better.

Without any doubt, you must have been in contact with or utilized many blockchain networks out there and we believe you'd have a favorite. Today, we want to know what your favorite blockchain network is and a few reasons why it is.

What is Expected in the Contest?

Tell us about your favorite Blockchain network, its history, and why it's your favorite.

Does the network has some earliest shortcomings and how has the network's team taken care of the problem?
