The pace at which the @steem-1up project is accelerating is proving that 1UP is on the right track. Steem dApps are on the rise and we find communities with specialized platforms all over the ecosystem. 1UP will become a content hub for all the communities on Steem and offer users to support their favorite projects with some of their daily voting power via an automated and profitable curation system.
What is 1UP In A Nutshell?
1UP is a new open source communitiy upvoting app where user votes are equal. It daily upvotes the ten highest ranked posts in each community with a smart curation rewards system. We create the UP token based on Steem's upcoming Smart Media Token (SMT) and distribute it to Steemians and communities via various airdrops. UP holders will support community growth and enjoy higher than average returns through smart curation.
For more infos please check out our @Fundition fundraiser below for a detailed overview.

#Esoteric Community Airdrop
We are releasing the first community specific airdrops to our ten starting communities. Each community will get one million UP tokens over the next ten weeks, with a total of ten million UP tokens. Everyone can take part in any of our bounty campaigns. So far, we have released the Steem Monsters bounty campaign and today we are starting the airdrop for the #esoteric community.
1UP Community Airdrop: Esoteric Community Spotlight and Contests
With the help of @eftnow, we created three different special bounties over one million UP tokens in total for esoteric content creators.
- Weekly Esoteric Writing Contest
(50,000 UP tokens per week) - Weekly Esoteric Graphic & Meme Contest
(30,000 UP tokens per week) - Visionary Art Contest
(200,000 UP tokens total)
For more infos please visit the announcement post above.
This leaves us with two active community airdrops out of ten. The next on our list are Utopian, Fundition and DTube.
Official 1UP Illustration Request Via Utopian
To make our various community efforts more professional and interesting, the 1UP illustrator @kayrex will create more illustrations of the 1UP mushroom for us. The idea is to create a family of different Mushroom Monsters, as closer described in our ongoing Steem Monsters airdrop. It is also meant to compete in the weekly airdrop as we have received no other fanart yet.
As this is a contribution to the open source project 1UP and within the rules and regulations of @utopian-io, I will help him to create a proper Utopian contribution for the Design category for each illustration.
He is working fast and delivered the very first Mushroom Monster right away. Here it is:
Thank you, @kayrex!
It would be amazing if 1UP-voters have a daily drop chance for one of our neutral Mushroom Monsters with various rarities. Since the game is decentralized and stores ownership of cards on the Steem blockchain, it is technically possible.
However, the 1UP-Team has to meet @aggroed and @yabapmatt at Steemfest first to pitch that to them. Without their support a non-related Steem Monster card would be pointless.

DLive No Longer 1UP Starting Community
As you might know, @dlive was one of our ten starting communities and hence eligible for a one million airdrop of UP tokens for their platform as well as one million tokens for the DLive community. Sadly, today they announced they will leave the Steem blockchain. The consequences of that are clear for 1UP: We support the Steem blockchain and its users!
That means we will find another great community that we can support and reward with an airdrop. It shouldn't be difficult to find one! Steem has unique features no other blockchain can offer and 1UP would be impossible to run without Steem.
Fundition Campaign Update
The 1UP fundraiser on Fundition is working well and we have received many donations from backers, who love the 1UP project and want to see it become reality. Nevertheless, we still need more funding to pay for the ongoing development costs in the current bear market. All funding money will be used to pay developers and running costs. 1UP is a community project and has no private ownership.
As a reminder: All our backers will share a 6 million UP token airdrop, out of the 280 million tokens total distribution. The tokens will be distributed proportionally to the Fundition donations. If you are interested to support us please visit our fundraiser:

Another fine update from you. I remain very enthusiastic about your plans and activities. The @dlive announcement was a shocker, and I was impressed with your swift reaction - and your artist's swift adaptation of the new mushroom monster illustration to fit the occasion.
I'm not clear on why you need the face to face meeting to convince @aggroed and @yabapmatt. Is it because the fest comes before the SMTs launch, so you don't feel you need to hurry?
The post had some very minor grammar issues. I would be happy to give examples in a follow-up comment if requested.

Thank you once more for your fantastic feedback. I love the fact that you are now asking for a special correction first. Saves both ends a lot of time and has a nicer touch to it. In fact, I actually do want to get feedback because since your first big correction I realized there is some work I need to do to improve my English grammar. The last sentence probably has a comma somewhere.
The Dlive thing was synchronicity as I got the new monster design and edited the logo in it myself. ;)
Meeting the Steem Monster founders in person is currently the only way I see to be able to get their attention. They have a lot of work and a big growing community and business. I am not on their radar yet as far as I know and I don't want to annoy them either. We will get our chance for sure and SteemFest might be it.
You know I love giving examples! So, here you go:
"Steem dApps are on the rise and we find communities with specialized platforms all over the ecosystem" would be better as "we are finding," as it is an ongoing process.
"offer users to support their favorite projects" should be "allow users to support" or "offer users a way to support."
"For more infos please check out our @Fundition fundraiser below for a detailed overview." Either the start or the end of the sentence is redundant, as both say the same thing. I would prefer to keep the end, because... well... "infos" is not a word. I know people use it, but I am an old man who prefers real words. Like "information." That's a pretty great word.
Thank you for the feedback. The ongoing process I knew but did not pay enough attention to it. I will keep an eye on it, should be rather easy.
The infos/information thing is a small shocker as I have used that word always in slang, apparently.
So how does an average joe such as myself get in on this?
Just join the communities?
You have serveral things you can do in the following order (all voluntary):
Awesome!
Thanks for spelling it out. :)
I'm beyond excited that you're choosing to support #esoteric content with this project. I haven't as much lately, but I like to write a good bit of esoteric poetry on Steemit over the past months and never thought I'd see the day that niche community would pick up traction!
First @tribesteemup, now this. STEEM is definitely evolving. I think it's beautiful and it's reignited my passion for this place.
Awesome! We'd love to see some of your poetry in the contests :D
Super cool to have your feedback and support. I appreciate the love from you and am happy that this type of content is welcome. It is my
secretpassion and I believe Steem is a marvelous place for that. Let us pull the best content creators of that field onto the blockchain by rewarding them properly for their research and time.And yes, @tribesteemup has also changed my perceiption of Steem a lot. Actually it changed my entire life on so many levels. We are on to something big here and I don't mean just financially!
It's a great project and personally I am happy to support it. I have gotten so much from the blockchain that it is a always a pleasure to see the people who want to push it even further along the road. Lately we have been given @steem-ua which was a massive success and now this looks like another huge prospect. I'll be following eagerly to see what comes next.
Thank you for your trust and support! Did you know that we will use UA for 1UP as basis to allow people voting in the first place. We will also use UA for our Steemian airdrop, allowing more people to get higher stakes. :)
Yes i actually did know that. I had been reading up on your project for a while and was interested to see how it would run in conjunction with UA. It's just a sign of the progress being made over the past year and the direction that the site is going in. I'm just hoping to see more projects in the future that will add to the whole experience. We all know the flaws that are out there so it's great to see solutions rather than just words.
Exactly, it is up to us to bring the change we want to see - both to Steem and to the world. In fact, the whole concept of Steem is that Steemit concentrates on the blockchain development and the community on dApp development and community building. I am glad you see the same spark of enthusiasm for Steem as I do. Things are changing for the better and we are getting traction in all directions.
Yep DLive was a shocker makes sense to put 1up back in for a bit, then find another neat project.
Great to see the continued traction of #1UP and I LOVE the new mushroom monster, especially the one beserking on DLive!
Picking up Steem! ;)
Keep rolling and thanks for the updates. Voting as well to increase the 1up account.
Thank you for your continous support! :)
