<h2><center>likwid 2nd layer beneficiary for dapps</center></h2>

We are excited to announce a new *likwid* feature targeted at dApps.

<h4><center>
Intro
</center></h4>

Vested reward (SteemPower) is often a liability for businesses. The option of inmediate liquid rewards has many potential applications. There is however a limitation in how the *beneficiary STEEM-native feature* can be exploited.

This new feature is an application-based beneficiary abstraction layer that allows dApps to keep their beneficiary scheme while using *likwid*. 

Under normal circumstances, *likwid* needs to be set as beneficiary for a given *dApp-powered* post. However, a problem arises for dApps which operate on a "traditional beneficiary monetisation model"; *likwid* utilisation would clash with it.

Now with the implementation of a `custom_json` operation during post signing *likwid* will follow the beneficiary pattern specified at this very json document.

Benefits
</h4></center>

Startups sometimes struggle in competitive enviroments rewarding their customers in a timely manner. We help professionals reward their customers at a more appealing pace.

Basically, dApps can now pay their customers in cash (100% liquid) instantly at payout time while keeping their usual beneficiary distribution.


<center><h4>
Setup and configuration
</h4></center>

The beneficiary proxy will be read from a `custom_json` container.

[Official STEEM custom_json documentation](https://developers.steem.io/apidefinitions/#broadcast_ops_custom_json)

All you need to do is appending a `custom_json` operation **within the same transaction where the `comment` operation is included**

`[
  "custom_json",
  {
    "required_auths": [],
    "required_posting_auths": ["example_account"],
    "id": "likwid-beneficiary",
    "json": "{
        "id": "likwid-beneficiary",
        "beneficiaries":[["customerA", 9000], ["example_account",1000]]
    }"
  }
]`

`id`and `beneficiaries`fields are mandatory
