Hello everyone. I hope that all of you will be doing well and enjoying the time with us here in the SteemitCryptoAcademy. A warm greeting from the professors' team. We wish a very good luck for all of you in this third week of the Season 8 of the Steemit Engagement Challenge. The last week's contest is about to end and we are here to publish the theme of the week 3 contest in the academy. Before going to the main topic, we are thankful to all of the participants of the academy who publish their quality blogs here in academy and engage with other users as well. ___ #### Steem and Tron Integration ___ We all know that Steemit is a decentralized social media blogging platform which allow its users to get their content monetized. The authors on the platform are rewarded with the STEEM tokens which can be traded and stored or staked. But, this week we are going to talk about the extra rewards beyond Steem Tokens which are actually the Tron (TRX) rewards. The Tron Network is sponsoring the Steemit blockchain from more than the last two years and we have seen that TRX tokens are given to the authors and curators as well. It is a great encouragement for all of the users of the platform. All of the Steemians enjoy the extra rewards along with the Steem Tokens. So, in this week's contest, we want to know about the understanding of different Steemians about the Steem and Tron Integration. This integration have been improving the platform for a long time and this contest will also show our gratitude towards the Steemit team as well.
