# Steemit's Chinese dragon?
***
Some of members of the Chinese Bitshares community have started up a Chinese rival to Steemit in: http://yoyow.org/

The ICO took place last May 2016 and the group now aims to have a release version out within a few months.

Yoyow believes it can become the blockchain version of Facebook and Quora in China, and has high expectations for its own internal and external market share.

The platform is built on the Graphene framework that allows super-fast block times and an excellent consensus algorithm. The proof of flow (PoF) allows a greater rewards system for both content creators and curators. The annual inflation of their coins is said to be under 10%.

# Compliance for content

Like the witness system on Steemit, Yoyow will a similar council based system, where they are elected by the stakeholders of the platform. With the exeception of removing blocks from the blockchain, the council will have every right to remove content from the site that violates the law.

All blockchain social media platforms need traffic, and this traffic brings advertisements and profits to the platform. The traffic that each user brings to the platform is a great indicator of how valuable that person is to the platform, thus they are rewarded with a higher reputation and higher payouts.

**It'll be very interesting to see where Yoyow goes in the next few months, but at the moment it looks like a very niche blockchain exclusively for the Chinese market, but our own marketing guys could do well to keep an eye on them.**

Steem on guys!
