Hello @edgargonzalez,

I hope you're doing well! I wanted to kindly bring to your attention that your current witness votes include accounts like @witness.svk and @joseph, who are no longer actively running witness nodes. For the health and security of the Steem network, it’s generally recommended to vote only for active and reliable witnesses.

In that spirit, I’d like to introduce myself: I’m @blaze.apps, a long-time contributor to the Steem ecosystem. Some of my past work includes:

• Implementing Advanced Comment Settings, which enabled beneficiary rewards on comments—a feature now integrated into Steemit’s UI.
• Developing the Advanced Power-Down Routes in the Steemit wallet, giving users granular control over how their VESTS are converted to STEEM.
• Creating BlazeScanner, a fast, modern, and user-friendly block explorer for Steem.

Currently, I’m working on an ambitious new initiative: SVM (Steem Virtual Machine)—an EVM-compatible layer designed to bring Ethereum-style smart contracts, DeFi, NFTs, and cross-chain interoperability (via Cosmos IBC and Chainlink) to Steem, all while preserving its feeless, community-first ethos.

You can read more about SVM here:

If my contributions and vision align with your hopes for Steem’s future, I’d be truly grateful for your witness vote. Every vote helps strengthen the network’s infrastructure and drives innovation forward.

Thank you so much for your time and continued support of the Steem community! 🙏
