Hello everyone hope u both are enjoying your life.Welcome to my Steemit Crypto Academy competition "Resource Credits vs. Bandwidth". Let's explore Steam Blockchain and discover its scalability and efficiency. We'll talk about resource credits that improve performance, address bandwidth constraints, and boost decentralized networks. Join me on this fun journey!

Determines the scalability and overall performance of the system. Therefore, understanding and optimizing bandwidth usage is essential to ensuring smooth and smooth operation on the blockchain. ![IMG_20230606_033852.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmf1yKv66uuGmhZEwQ6gSXXVVa73eFbQ39DwD5buJRWAzh/IMG_20230606_033852.jpg) As a Steemit user, let me explain how the Resource Credits (RC) system works on the Steem blockchain. Resource credits play an important role in effectively managing resource allocation and utilization. ![2gsjgna1uruv8X2R8t7XDv5HGXyHWCCu4rKmbB5pmEzjYSgCw3UZ4wkAr2WuQnneJbGhj4PPFHjF1NdUoLh8Rw7BgThD3XMmNFdLqmxW5ijz4djsGA.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeUmzQEuk74kQceSN86W5Yr3C8Sc8jcCznJMEg3KEVon5/2gsjgna1uruv8X2R8t7XDv5HGXyHWCCu4rKmbB5pmEzjYSgCw3UZ4wkAr2WuQnneJbGhj4PPFHjF1NdUoLh8Rw7BgThD3XMmNFdLqmxW5ijz4djsGA.jpeg) When you do things like commenting or posting content on Steemit, you consume network resources such as bandwidth computing power and storage. Instead of using these resources directly, we use resource credits to perform these activities. The amount of resource credits you receive is determined by the amount of Steem Power you have. Steem Power represents my long-term influence on the platform. The more Steem Power you have, the higher your resource credit allocation. This means that with more Steem Power you can engage in more tasks without running out of resources. Resource Credits are tied to your account and cannot be transferred or traded to other users. This ensures fairness in the distribution of resources and prevents concentration of power. **By implementing a resource credit system, Steem Blockchain effectively manages resource consumption and improves scalability. This allows users like Myself to actively engage in a variety of activities while maintaining a balanced allocation of resources across the platform. The resource credit system plays an important role in optimizing the performance and efficiency of the Steem blockchain.** ![IMG_20230606_035017.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQg3hb44LW4RgUk8hagbAvVTirYdFH38HHWA5bCXhja3s/IMG_20230606_035017.jpg) As a Steemit user, we are happy to share with you our current resource credit status. Currently my mana is at 3090792393618, representing 100% utilization of my available resource credits. Additionally, my voting power is 96.04%, indicating a strong ability to participate in voting activities on the Steem platform. ![IMG_20230606_034956.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQkkVoRNoREogGrSt4g3Yd4dv2RErcUPHvxfP4rg87vhY/IMG_20230606_034956.jpg) We will walk you through the steps to check available resource credits. Here is the step-by-step process. # step :1 Open your web browser & visit the SteemDB website(https://steemdb.io/) ![Screenshot_2023-06-06-13-01-02-74_40deb401b9ffe8e1df2f1cc5ba480b12.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmS53G457smsL9nwY6mQbwbWt67KY1a1N2im6CFZiWCgQ5/Screenshot_2023-06-06-13-01-02-74_40deb401b9ffe8e1df2f1cc5ba480b12.jpg) # step:2 On the SteemDB home page, find the search bar at the top of the page. In the search box, enter the Steemit username or account you want to view resource credits for. Press Enter or click the search icon to continue searching. ![IMG_20230606_145424.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPc38Ea27qnrZqfjXt8bFFQPss6Up4kcbu9oMApuyBGgA/IMG_20230606_145424.jpg) # Step:3 SteemDB shows various information and statistics related to registered accounts. Find the "Account" section or tab, usually on the left side of the page. Click to expand account details ![IMG_20230606_145504.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVKTucuYf6HGnDixFrV2jp9n5ujTiUcz2HFaaWDjwjiTq/IMG_20230606_145504.jpg) #Step:4 Within your account details, you should find a specific section related to resource credits or RCs. SteemDB displays details of resource credits, including available balance. Take note of the available resource credit values provided by SteemDB.[source]( https://steemdb.io/labs) @steemitcurator01 @pelon53
