As far as I understand (and I might be wrong), it's essentially a bountysource (https://www.bountysource.com/) but with steem instead of "real" money (fiat).
I'm not sure if utopian.io will be as succesfull as people think, thanks to bountysource. I mean, if steemit proves to be successfull, then utopian.io might be successfull as well, but I doubt steemit will work out in the longer future.
And I'm commenting again: utopian.io is basically steemit.com but for open-source projects. Instead of having blog posts, or pictures or whatever, you've contributions (be it issues or code itself) to open-source projects.
I wrote an article for Hackernoon which explains in depth what utopian.io is: https://hackernoon.com/could-utopian-io-become-the-ultimate-funding-solution-for-open-source-projects-c516bb0e5a09
Wanna know something funny? I Googled utopian.io and your article was one of those that popped up along with other steemit articles!
But yea I read it last night along with a bunch of other articles. Made A LOT more sense and cleared things up. Thank you! ^_^
