STEEM ATLAS [09 Jul '25] : DAO Proposal, Atlas Challenge & Delegators Draw

It has been a very busy couple of weeks while we prepared our proposal for the Steem DAO.

Because of this we have had to make some changes to the schedule for the Atlas Challenge and the Delegators Draw during July.

The DAO proposal is now gathering votes and if it successful in attracting enough support by 31 July Steem Atlas will start receiving funding from 1 August.

DAO Proposal

Up to now all the development work for Steem Atlas has been self funded by @pennsif, backed by the Top 20 earnings of @pennsif.witness.

With the low price of STEEM this approach has limited the development time that could be allocated to the project.

We have many ideas to expand and improve Steem Atlas so we have therefore submitted a DAO proposal to provide funding for 4 months of more focussed development work.

So far the DAO Proposal has received 14.859 M SP of voting support from 91 different supporters.

The proposal needs to receive over 48.356 M SP of votes to pass the Return Proposal to start receiving DAO funding.

Thank you if you have already voted for the proposal. If you haven't yet voted we would greatly appreciate if you would.

Vote for Proposal #110...

Atlas Challenge

For the last week or so we have been making some significant changes to the algorithm for the Leaderboard rankings.

After a good amount of testing and tweaking it is now stable and working well, so we are ready to resume the Atlas Challenge.

Because of the delay we will be only running three Atlas Challenge events this month on 10 July, 20 July and 30 July.

For each of these Challenge events there will be a prize pool of 650 STEEM shared among the top 20 places on the Leaderboard at 12pm UTC.

Delegators Draw

To help keep @pennsif.witness in the Top 20 we had to inject more Steem Power into the @steem-atlas account.

Along with further delegations the @steem-atlas account now stands at 295,558 SP which gives a full power vote of $1.81.

We should reach our target of 300K SP in the next week or two.

Our next target then will be to get sufficient SP to give a full vote of $2 - at the current STEEM price that should require about 325,000 SP.

As with the Atlas Challenge, there will also be only three Delegators Draws in July on 10 July, 20 July and 30 July.

For the imminent draw on 10 July there will be five prizes of 25 STEEM.

When @steem-atlas reaches 300K SP the prizes will be increased to 6 x 25 STEEM.

Thank you to everyone who has delegated so far.

If you have any Steem power that you could delegate to support the project you will receive one ticket in the Delegators Draws for every 1000 SP you delegate.

Thank you to everyone who supports the Steem Atlas project in any way.

Please keep on posting, delegate what you can, and please do vote for our DAO Proposal #110.

Thank you

Pennsif & the @pennsif.witness team
