Hello friends. It always feels good to be here having something to share with you on this precious platform.

I have gone through steemscan.com and in this episode, I will be taking you to explore the site to find what it offers. However, we shall be guided by the following questions;

Once we tap on witness, a list will appear showing different active witnesses and their status and versions. From there we can easily choose a witness, read it and then vote it down below the witness post

Please explain What is DApps and mention 3 DApps which you have already used or may use in future as per your interest?

To begin with, DApps or Dapps stand for Decentralized Application. DApps are digital applications that operate basically on blockchain technology and run on a network of computers.
I am very well versed with some DApps like Steemit.com. steemit.com is a blogging DApp that allows members to earn from posting original content.
I also like Splinterlands. Splinterlands is a trading card game that is built on the Hive and WAX platforms. WAX actually hosts many Play-to-earn blockchain-based games and Hive is a next-generation fast and scalable blockchain in Web3 (Like metaverse)
There is also Axie infinity which is one of the most popular gaming DApps. It employs an ERC-20 token, AXS ,used as the currency on the Axie Infinity platform. AXS allows interaction in and through the platform, buy, sell and trade Axies just like other cryptos.

Please explain How to use "Quick Convert" and what is the fee charged for different Steem amount for withdrawal?

Quick convert is one of the most interesting features on steemscan.com wherein we do various conversions.

As seen in the image above, quick convert allow us to convert steem with other cryptos or currencies like BTC, USDT or TRX. It also allows you to see the fees and exchange rates in different conversions.
For example, if you want to convert 100 steems to TRX, you will receive 544.86961772 and the transaction fees at present rate will be 5.57009814 TRX.

Please explain what information is provided by the "Search" feature?

The search feature is very important while navigating the site. It is located in the menu of the page. It helps you to search transactions on the site and in doing so, it gives you the chance to choose the type of transaction you want to search whether blocked or account transactions and when you choose, you just need to fill in the transaction ID and the system will get the details for you.

There is another search button at the top of the screen where we can search virtually everything. We can search a currency, a transaction or even feature in steemscan.com.
To this end, we have carefully gone through steemscan.com and I think I have showed you most of the vital things in the site.
Thanks to @cryptokannon for the opportunity to do this task. See you in the next task which will be to review steemyy.com.
Stay safe and take care
