# What is the Steem Torch Experiment?

You can read about it [here](https://steemit.com/steem/@geekgirl/steem-torch) but to quote @geekgirl's original post.

*Steem Torch is an experiment to demonstrate the speed and trust in transferring value on Steem social network.*

*Steem Torch Keeper is a user who received a Steem transfer with "Steem Torch Experiment..." memo and is about to pass it to the next user.*
