When in 2017 Steemit announced their plans for Smart Media Tokens the first SMT announcement came from Appics. The German team based in Hamburg had by then already worked in the background for about a year to create their vision of a modern mobile app with Steem-like payments. Supported by @ned himself this idea has transformed into the currently most promising SMT of 2018.
Read their white paper for more detailed information about the app and its technology based on the Steem Smart Media Tokens.
Appics Official Video
Earn Appics Before The ICO
The Pre-ICO of Appics was sold out in under 30 minutes and the regular ICO is coming up in Q1 2018. The token sale price will start at $ 0.1304 and will go up during the even rounds to $ 0.15.
With the creation of the Appics token a part of the pool is distributed to the bounty system contributors. You can both help the Appics team and earn their new tokens by using their bounty system and spread the word about them on various soical media platforms - including Steemit.
Auto-Bounties
By connecting your accounts you can automatically get stakes for the distributed pool share. Supported for auto-stakes are Twitter, Facebook and Steemit although I haven't been able to connect my Steem account yet (despite the fact that I did send a transaction with the provided memo key). And Facebook didn't attribute my shares there yet. If you have more infos please let me know below.
Manual Bounties
Further there are special bounties for all kinds of different social media platforms which need to be manually moderated but will bring high rewards. If you have a Youtube account with many followers for example you can submit your videos there.
The Referral Program
With the referral link provided by Appics you can earn shares for investments during the official ICO which is another really nice way to stack up some of their promising tokens. The links in this visibility post of mine are the formentioned referral link of mine. You will only earn tokens that way if the referred person will purchase at least 1000 XAP (Appics tokens) during the ICO.
This is how my referral link looks like:

My Own Thoughts
Mobile is the future and I like the idea of being an early adopter of new SMT platforms both as an investor as well as a contributor. Appics looks like a solid project with prominent support and big money investment. They sold their Pre-ICO in an instant and it looks like there will be tons of support for it. I am saving my earnings already to have the money available when the Appics ICO begins.
I embrace the idea of having many different approaches to content and Appics is certainly claiming an interesting niche with mobile photo, video and life-streaming. Particularly in poorer countries where mobile access is often the only way to go online this might become a huge hit because it will probably be easier than posting on Steemit. But also for creators like myself this is a fantastic way to make a living in the Steem ecosystem with maximum of mobility.
How this project will help me in improving the position in steemit
Since it is a unique cryptocurrency (even though based on Steem's SMT technology) it will not directly help with your Steem positions. But you might be able to cross-promote yourself.
Hi @flauwy this was a great post about the first promising SMTs after the idea of SMTs was released. Do you have an idea about when the ICO will take place? Will it be after SMTs are released in Hardfork 20? When do you expect this happening?
Regards, @gold84
ICO will start 28th of january
Thanks for your follow up on this @webresultat !
Regards, @gold84
you are welcome!
@webresultat are they going to mention by email that the ICO is Jan 28th, or somewhere? And how are we going to be able to buy the tokens? I already registered but it does not show there were the ICO will take place. I also added my ETH address.
Also do you know estimated timing when the ICO will start? And which timezone?
Thanks in advance.
Regards, @gold84
needed some time to grasp all the concepts. i think i have a shallow understanding now. being a newbie all the terms are not clear.

great post @flauwy! please keep updated about this! thanks for your effort!
Hey, thanks for researching some of my used terminology and link to the explanations. It is easy to loose yourself in insider talk when you are diving as deeply into Steem as I did but I remember how hard it was for me in the beginning. So I should probably link more myself. ;)
Excellent information regarding appics and it looks promising to me too, i should also try and participate in their bounty program, thanks for sharing this information with us, Stay blessed
Really nice! Keep up the great work!
@flauwy I Agree with you and I have to get my butt in gear and do what I can to sign up for some Bounty. Thanks for reminding me to strike while the iron is HOT !
I am excited! I know this will be a huge project, thank you @flauwy for updating us!
@flauwy My App Tutor!
hehe, you are welcome Leahlei ;)
I have also joined it but it doesn't connect me to steemit. It only collects twitter stats.
Ok, thanks for the info. That is good to know and probably means they need to fix something ar actuvate something. I wrote them a message on facebook, let's see if they respond.
Thanks for letting us know, we will forward this issue to our tech team and solve it ASAP.
Thanks for the post Florian Dellé .
Just sinup by using your referral link .
Waiting for round 1
Me too! I want to buy at least 10K tokens if I can save the money for the it.
muy bueno pero ya no se puede hacer reesteem
thank's for sharing this information @flauwy.
Very interesting ICO and would love to join its bounty program. Thanks @flauwy for sharing .:-)
You are welcome.
time to earn it thanks bro for sharing this
i would love to collect some appics and this is the coolest way to do so
looks like i will not be able to take part in ico so this is the only way to grab some
Yes, then it is a fantastic way to get some early stakes. :)
I think is is going to change how we thank about steemit and cryptocurrency and tramsform lives of other brogrs
That does sound really cool. Is there already a running Beta App ?
No, not yet
Exactly the same issues with linking steemit and facebook. It took probably 2 days after sending the transaction for steemit to get linked. And I'm still not getting any stakes for my facebook activities.
Thanks for the feedback. Good to know your Steemit account was linked eventually. They should probably get a programmer to fix these things.
yeah, even re tweeting on twitter yesterday wasn't increasing my earned stakes balance. This is quite frustrating as I was quite excited about this APPICS ICO, but it just seems the team has a lot of work to do and is not yet as great as i hoped it would be.
EDIT Actually I just checked and got 5 stakes for the retweet.
I hope, that Appics will be THE next big thing. Especially for me it is more interesting than Steemit because im not the 100% blogging person. Im already very excited :)
Exactly! Appics is a great way for content producers that are not into writing. I think that is a very powerful feature.
This is going to be a huge success already doing great :D
From what you have said, I believe Appics to be a solid project too
They also had investors before they even announced their project so I think they are solid enough to come through with their plans.
Really nice to know that! I'm in for more info about Appics.
I hope they will release more info about their ICO soon!
I didn't know they had finished the pre ico. I only began to hear of appics only after the steem fest last year. Please @flauwy, can you remind us when the ico starts? Thanks you for sharing.
I will post about it for sure!
Its good information. I agree with your idea in this way we can earn more. Thanks for sharing the the post that would help the steemit community.
Thanks for giving us a great information.
I will utilize your information...
Your information is quite useful and beneficial. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing dear keep it up
thanks share this informmation,it will be great for us
and
How are they supposed to get excited about the referral program?
Why do you take two parts of my posts that are not directly related to each other and put them into a context as if I would have done so myself?
This sounds very interesting and i am digging right in.
wow i didn't know it , i can't wait
