are you aware of already existing plans where the SMT is going to be used?

I'm not sure I understand the question. SMT is a generic name for an activity you, as a user, can perform on the Steem blockchain, namely to issue your own token, with your own name and parameters.

My understandig was that steemit is providing the infrastructure in order to allow the user to use SMT for custom tokens - maybe I get things wrong?

Yes, that is also correct. So what exactly is the question?

I was thinking if there are already concrete plans (by steemit or others) on SMT use cases, that maybe were even driving/initiating the development of this framework

Ah, got it. Yes, in the white paper there are a few use cases described:

  • publishers (bloggers)
  • forums / communities
  • entrepreneurs looking to raise money via an ICO

I'm going to start a series on the white paper and probably I will get to the use cases too.

looking forward to read that, thanks!
