Splinterlands: Recent News & Updates (8/12/2021)
SPS Staking Announcement
Rewards for SPS staked in-game are scheduled to start at Hive block 56,186,000 which should be roughly around 12 - 1 PM ET / 16:00 - 17:00 UTC tomorrow, August 2nd, 2021.
The rewards will come from the "SPS Staking Rewards" pool and will begin at 7,500,000 SPS tokens per month (decreasing at 1% per month thereafter) as described in the SPS whitepaper here: https://sps.splinterlands.com/rewards.
These tokens will be distributed among all players who have SPS tokens staked in their accounts in game in proportion to the amount of SPS they have staked compared to the total.
Splinterlands Scaling Update
After a significant amount of review about how the entire Splinterlands system works, we have determined that there are a number of game operations that can (and should) be moved off of the blockchain while still allowing us to maintain a fully transparent, publicly verifiable, and provably fair system that our players expect.
As a result, we are planning to move all battle-related operations off of the blockchain. This will include the following operations: find_match, cancel_match, submit_team, team_reveal, and surrender.
Final Dice Airdrop Card
Aganju can use his melee attack from the second position thanks to the Reach ability and can get in some nice damage for only 1 mana from safely behind the tank! He's also pretty quick so he rarely misses his targets and can be hard to hit as well.
Splinterlands sells 60,000+ Spellbooks!
It took us (Splinterlands) over 2.5 years to sell the first 20,000 Spellbooks to our earliest players. We sold the second 20,000 Spellbooks in just five months in the first part of 2021. Now we celebrate the sale of a third 20,000 Spellbooks, sold in under two weeks' time! It's a great time to be part of this community, and we (Splinterlands) want to thank each and every player who has purchased a Spellbook thus far. We're so glad to have you as part of the community, and we think you're going to like where we're going. This is inspiring growth to watch, and it's amazing to be in the thick of it.
50,000 Daily Active Users!
With more than 250,000 total accounts created and over 70,000 Spellbooks purchased, perhaps it shouldn't come as a surprise that the Splinterlands daily players count has now surpassed 50,000.
This number has been steadily growing, especially since July, when we reached 25,000 daily active users. Expected though it may be, it is still incredible beyond belief to know that over fifty thousand of you are playing Splinterlands each and every day. The growth that our game is seeing is staggering and inspiring.
Splinterlands Market Cap Reaches $115,824,260
Over $250,000* USD Won In Tournament Play
A milestone reached and surpassedin the Splinterlands community and its a dandy. Splinterlands has given over a quarter million dollars in prizes to their tournament players. In face the USD amount given out to date is nearing $300,000 USD. I for one can't wait to see the awarded number reach one million.

What is Splinterlands?
Splinterlands is a digital card game created by @aggroed and @yabapmatt. Tournaments and Ranked Play are already being played that have prizes offered which have real monetary value. You can get started with investing in or playing Splinterlands by clicking here.
I hope to see a lot more high dollar Tournaments in the near future since the USD amount shown is based on the DEC market value at the time the tournament is created. It would be sad if the reduce the DEC prizes because DEC is so high. Imagine the buzz that would be generated if word gets out that Splinterlands is hosting $50,000 tournaments every day!
That would be awesome but I think its likely they drop the DEC amount given out in tournaments to the USD levels the tournament prizes have recently been listed at.

Game continues to moon! Picked up some affiliate in the last week nothing crazy 4 spellbooks sold lol but still it's something. Looking to really start maximizing this though as I see credit usage being heavily used here soon. Thank you for the round up of details for the last few days to keep us up to date with what's going on. It's going to be a VERY busy and active rest of the year.
Its insane, value just keeps going up.
Four Spellbooks is a nice start and likely more then most have.
Good job / keep up the great work!
Great description of the analytics, nice to see the game growing. It almost touches on a post I've been working on. The idea that DEC is going crazy high this past week, on one hand great we make more off wins and shows a strong and healthy economy. On the other it makes the barrier for entry way higher, and some card prices are so polarized. I'd be interested the hear you thoughts on the subject, you probably know more then me haha.😉
I heard something about the Splinterlands bot which supports to enter/pick the team automatically.
It costs around $2k.
If it's the case, I don't know how many % of purchased spell book are real new players, or the bots
Who the heck is paying $2K for a bot.
Do you have a source?
I remember there was bot services provided by players but I haven't heard much about them for a very long time. There is bots in game / they are allowed (I wish they weren't).
