This article was written to help our customers and investors learn more about BuildTeam and provide answers to commonly asked questions. 

# What is BuildTeam?

BuildTeam develops sidechain services and custom applications that compliment the Steemit social networking ecosystem and other blockchain environments.

BuildTeam has a payroll structure similar to your average corporation, except instead of traditional fiat remuneration, we compensate our staff with our own cryptocurrency called BUILDTEAM tokens. Holders of BUILDTEAM tokens are able to bid for a percentage of the company's profits in a monthly auction process. Steem is distributed on a proportional basis depending on how much each participant bids. Our first auction just finished and was a huge success - auction participants earned 1.7 Steem for every BUILDTEAM token they bid.

## The Company:

### What services does BuildTeam provide?

Currently BuildTeam operates several blockchain services that include: 

1.) SteemVoter - [www.steemvoter.com](https://steemvoter.com)

SteemVoter is an online platform in which users can sign up to auto-vote selected Steemit members. When an author you have selected to auto-vote makes a post, SteemVoter uses your account to upvote it, maximising your potential curation rewards. The registration process is very simple and after that, you simply select who you would like to auto-vote by adding in their usernames. SteemVoter takes care of the rest.

2.) MinnowBooster - [www.minnowbooster.net](http://minnowbooster.net)

The @minnowbooster bot project is a "Swiss Army Knife" for minnows, which can do a multitude of things. It is a voting bot similar to @randowhale or @booster, except with @minnowbooster, you always know what size upvote you will receive in return. There is no random element or competition with other users.

In addition to the upvote bot, @minnowbooster's Delegation Leasing Market connects users who don't have enough Steem Power, with users who have too much Steem Power. Ever wondered what it's like to be a whale for a month? With @minnowbooster you can make that dream a reality! Or maybe you got into Steeemit early and have a ton of Steem Power just sitting there collecting dust? @MinnowBooster puts your SP to work for you, earning an impressive return with 0 default risk.

3.) Steemsports - Coming soon! [www.steemsports.com](http://www.steemsports.com)

Steemsports is a revolutionary new sports news service. Beyond simply being a platform for fans to read about current events in football, rugby, cricket, horse-racing, basketball and more, it also provides a social community for sports enthusiasts and rewards all participation through its monetization and utilization of the Steem blockchain. Think of Steemsports as Steemit tailored exclusively for sports fanatics!

The current available supply of BUILDTEAM as of August 5 is 17,000 tokens. 3,786 new tokens will be minted in August.

### What is the maximum supply cap for BuildTeam tokens?
### 
The maximum supply cap is 1,000,000 tokens.  

### What is token inflation rate for BuildTeam tokens?
### 
There is a maximum inflation rate of 5000 new tokens issued each month.

### Do BUILDTEAM tokens have intrinsic value?
###
