Good day Steemians.
I'm back from my long break with my Achievement 5.2 post and I hope it's a good read, not just for the verifiers, but anyone else who comes across it. Please leave a comment if you enjoy it. You can also follow me for good content if you like my writing.

The tool to be reviewed in this post is SteemScan which was created by @futureshock and @roadofrich. Without further ado, let's get into it.

Today is Thursday, the 10th of March 2022.
The current price of Steem is $0.31 as we can see highlighted in the image below. We can also see highlighted in the image that the volume of Steem that has been traded is $2,845.97.

Question 4: What are DApps and mention 3 DApps which you have already used or may use in future as per your interest?

DApps are digital Decentralized Applications which run on the Blockchain and carry out user actions through the use of Smart Contracts.
It is interesting to note that Steemit is itself a DApp. Some other DApps on the Steemit ecosystem which I have used include the currently being reviewed Steemscan as well as SteemWorld.
Outside the Steemit ecosystem, I have made use of Pancakeswap and Uniswap.

Question 5: How do you use "Quick Convert" and what is the fee charged for different Steem amount for withdrawal?

In order to use the Quick Convert feature, we access it through the Menu at the top left.

In the Quick Convert page, we can see a space to put in the amount of Steem we wish to convert. After which we are required to select which currency to convert to between USDT, BTC and TRX.
For 20 Steem we will be getting approximately 4.037 USDT with a conversation fee of approximately 1.062 USDT.

In order to convert it, we input the receiving address and click on "Create Order".

Question 6: What information is provided by the "Search" feature?

The Search feature can be used to look through the records available. The information that can be provided include Transactions, blocks, accounts. You can also search with additional parameters.
