Steem Dollars are liquid stable-value currency tokens designed to be pegged to $1 USD. Steem Dollars can be traded with STEEM and transferred to other accounts for commerce or exchange.
Transcendece combines an open-source, decentralised blockchain with existing services as like AmiCloud and the indieGO-Appstore. All of them accept the Transcendence Network Token called Telos. The longterm plan is to move the cloudstorage and cloudcomputing aspects of the closed source software to the opensouce blockchain.
