Splinterlands Surpasses 2 Billion Games Played Following $1M Unboxing Event

During the unboxing event, Side Door Ventures teamed up with Balthazar to provide $1M worth of Splinterlands assets to the scholars, in the form of Chaos Legion packs. Also, there were 3,000 Balthazar scholarships awarded, a live lottery was held with 1 BCX gold foil cards to be won, the announcement of the scholarship incentive program by Balthazar, all done via livestream with NicoThePico and Splinterlands' Bulldog leading the unboxing of the packs.

According to Jesse "Aggroed" Reich, the CEO of Splinterlands, "This unboxing event is a huge milestone for us. With Side Door Ventures teaming up with Balthazar, we were able to open an NFT management program, which we believe is the first-ever program that allows NFT holders to get a return on their digital assets."
