If you have not heard about 1UP yet, then this is the chance to get into the biggest airdrop for Steemians so far. We will distribute about 70% of the entire UP distribution to users and communities alike. 1UP will be released before SteemFest in November and run the Beta phase until the SMT release in spring 2019.
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 as well as our platform account @steem-1up for the latest news.

If you want to earn your first UP tokens, please follow @steem-1up and keep an eye on the news. We will release many new airdrops over the next few weeks. Right now we already have the Steem Monsters airdrop going on as well as the fundraiser rewards for backers of the project.
Starting Communities
1UP will feature ten communities right from the start which will receive daily upvotes from 1UP while all other communities have the chance to grow to that status as well over time.
Here are the ten featured communities and their specialized community airdrops:

| @utopian-io | 1 Million UP | 1 Million UP Over Ten Weeks |

| #anarchy * | 1 Million UP | 1 Million UP Over Ten Weeks |
| #esoteric * | 1 Million UP | 1 Million UP Over Ten Weeks |
* The four communities based merely on tags will get their own community accounts with the upcoming hivemind protocol from Steemit to transform normal Steem accounts into community accounts.
If you are in any of these communities or even from the platform teams, feel free to join our 1UP Discord channel to discuss ideas for the specific community airdrops and maybe even help us as moderators there.
Utopian & Fundition Support
1UP is an open source community project and supported by @utopian-io and @fundition via their partnership program. This is very beneficial for the ongoing 1UP Fundraiser. However, we still need your support to cover for the development costs during this bear market. Check out our 6 million UP tokens reward for our backers on Fundition.

What Now?
You can start to get excited about this ambitious project for Steem. This is a community effort for communities and no company is behind it. Let us build this together and make it the best voting platform we can imagine. We will aim to grow decentralized over time and make this a proper DAO with the help of the Steem communities. I will be at SteemFest3 and present it there when I get the chance. And I am looking forward to work with you all.
