Hello to you both @ragepeanut, @surfermarly.

Indeed Fundition aims to be a fully decentralized crowdfunding platform, and independent of platforms like Steemit.com etc.... If my memories are good I think that the founder of Fundition @hightouch had in mind to completely leave the Steem field, Steemit and everything that we Steemians know, to propose a user-friendly interface and a simple and common operation to all the users whether they are steemians or not. That's why he decided to call it Fundition and not SteemFunding :-) !

Fundition draws all its strength from the Steem blockchain and differs from other platforms by a totally different operation. If you are curious you can [always look here](https://steemd.com/en/@cleanplanet/166s95ujh) to see where the publication data are stored. Funditon does not have a database, its database is simply the Steem blockchain. 

This way, when everything is finished, Steemians and not Steemians will be completely equal on the platform. As I was saying, this is a way of democratizing Steem. I really liked this idea which is the basis of Fundition because in everyday life we use things without knowing what it really hides behind. 

The users do not need to know all the mechanism of the Steem blockchain to be able to profit from it just as I do not need to know how were manufactured the machines which were used to print the notes which is in my wallet :-) ! 

I hope that this information will be useful to you if you want to know more or have questions, do not hesitate to [join the Discord server](https://discord.gg/4GUBA6q) of Fundition you will certainly find very interesting things there :-) !
