SPS and DEC Integrated into LeoDex Yet? I Guess Not Yet.
I use Thorchain, and now by extension, I expect the Maya Protocol. I am happy LeoDex bridged these ecosystems and those connected to them to Hive.
In the AMA, Khal said SPS, DEC (and maybe even HBD) will be integrated into LeoDex by the already past Thursday or Friday.
Since they haven't announced anything yet, I imagined they aren't ready, which is fine, but I wanted to check out the interface to see if they are added but they aren't tested enough to make the announcement. I would have helped test with a few small transactions.
What I discovered was that SPS and DEC show up already in our Hive wallets, as in the screenshot below,
but the two Hive-Engine tokens (SPS and DEC) don't show up in the list of tokens to swap:
That means (in my interpretation), that they aren't fully integrated yet.
I don't want to add pressure to the team, so this is not a wen... Take your time, I am not in a hurry! In fact, I don't need to transfer anything at this time. I just thought I'd help test it a bit with very small amounts if it was functional.
It's more important that things work within acceptable parameters and we won't see justified complaints that will erode the trustworthiness of the platform. Quick development cycles may have their places to be used, but when dealing with the financial aspect it's not one of them.
Progress on Maxing Out Soulbound Reward Cards Set
This post is as much about Splinterlands as it is about LeoDex, and since the first part isn't consistent enough, I decided to include a section about Splinterlands.
Today I purchased the remaining 40 rare draws from batch 1. I still have 10 epic draws and I'm done with batch 1, except commons, which I don't need.
I started with 96% progress and reached 97% on the rare regular reward cards... Finally, some progress, I thought this never moves...
I also maxed out one of the last 3 rares I had un-maxed, which happens to be a summoner.
This is the current situation:
The last two cards to max out, Riverboat Captain and Madcap Magus, still need 26 and 20 more cards, respectively, which is a lot. Each of them receives an extra ability at max level, but nothing sensational. One receives Fury and the other Dispel. I will still try to max them out, but I guess I won't beat myself up if I don't.
The chances to hit one of the two cards which I need diminished seriously now. It's a 16.66% chance to get one of them. A little lower, since there is a 2% chance that a card turns into a GF. Depending on how much time there is until the next set, it may be enough time to max them out. But my main focus will be epic and legendaries for obvious reasons. First of all, I have more chances to hit one of the cards I can level up, and secondly, well, they are higher rarity and more powerful at the max level.

I'm not worried about the dex, they should take their time and get it right. That's most important. I love Thor chain!
I've been struggling with getting my summoners maxed out, you are doing great there. I'm going to have to some work there, I'm having trouble getting my fire and earth past level 6. I see why you want to focus on the epic and legendary, it really gives you the better odds!
Yep, it's one of the ecosystems that 'get it' and do the right moves.
It's different for each of us. While I read other people's posts to see what they are doing, I generally go my way because each account is different. But we can get some ideas from others that escape us.
Haven’t even checked Leodex yet
Thanks for the reminder
You're welcome.
👏 Keep Up the good work on Hive ♦️ 👏

Wow, that is a good amount of progress on the SB cards. The rarity draws would definitely help players like you who are trying to max cards. I still have a lot of things missing, so I'll try to go for the Master draws still. With regards to Leodex, I am excited to see the SPL tokens there. I wonder how much the SPS and DEC token price will move once they are tradeable.
I don't expect something spectacular... at first. But for HIVE, I saw LeoDex has very competitive swap prices, often better than CEXes, especially when pool rebalancing is in your favor (you can see that from the expected fees, which are negative in these cases).
Not really. From 96%+ to 97% on rares. I was already quite advanced in my progress. And most of my rare draws were misses.
Absolutely! If you have only categories of cards to focus on, rarity draws are much better than random draws.
If you still have at least a few common cards un-maxed (and I assume you do), random draws are likely the better option because you get more cards (multiples) and at a lower cost.
If you have enough Glint, go for all of the batch 1 random draws (except the first one, which gives you only one copy), starting from the Master draws down.
Ah, and play with activating/deactivating the usage of potions, depending on what you need and the percentage you get on each type of random draw.
Thanks for the tips. I only use potions on the Master Draws, and I tried the lower ones, and they felt worse than just getting the singles from the rarity draws.
Without making any calculations, random draws seemed more economical than rarity ones if you still have lots of cards that you can level up of all rarities.
I did a few calculations on my random draws, and I lost out on glint except for my master draws. I got 9 common and 1 rare in my Initiate, so I was down 100 Glint compared to if I just bought 9 common and 1 rare rarity draws. My biggest loss was in Elite, where I just got all common cards. I lost around 19k Glint. I got lucky on my master draw though. Got 2 Legendary cards, and 7 Epics. I was up around 40k+ Glint.
Yep, it's a game of chance with the random draws. It matters both the rarity of the cards you pull and their number to be at an advantage. Mainly for me, if I still would have plenty of cards to level up from all rarities and my target was to max them out, is the number of cards, so the multiples, not the rarities. At least at first.
That makes sense. I do prefer the summoners a bit though, since my other cards are limited by their level anyways.
Ok, summoners first. :)
It looks like LeoDex is making good progress if half of the things are there. I guess adding the pool might take more time. Congratulations on your progress on the reward cards in Splinterlands. It won't be long before you max out the rare cards. Would you focus on legendary or epic cards after that?
I think LEO was there from the start. HIVE soon after. Based on the HIVE rails, SPS, DEC, and HBD should be easy to add, but either there were some issues they needed to nail down before adding them, or they wanted to wait to be sure there weren't any. In either case, it's a good decision, in my opinion.
Not really. It will take time because there is only a 16.66% chance that any rare draw is one of the cards I still need. And I need 46 more BCX over the 2 cards. And once one of the two cards is maxed out, the chances of hitting the other one drop to 8.33%.
I already focus on epic and legendaries (even more than on rares). But I prefer to take batch 1 draws because of the lower price. And I still have 10 of the epics in batch 1. At some point, I will probably go for batch 2 as well, for epics and legendaries, but not just yet, because there might still be time to max out the set without investing more.
It will take some time for things to become more expensive again but one more year will have to be patient.
Thanks for the info on LeoDex, SPS, DEC @gadrain. I took a peak the other day and it didn't work for me either. I just wanted to see if any of my Hive came up but I wasn't going to do a transaction as of yet. #ctp
Did you login to LeoDex with xDefi or a Keystore wallet (+ Hive Keychain for Hive)? If not, it's normal that it doesn't show a balance...
OK so I need to log into xDefi or Keystore wallet first. Do I need to sign up to xDefi? I don't belong to Keystore either. It seemed to complicated at the time. Thank you! #ctp
Yes, you do. One of them, you don't need both. It could be a little complicated if you've never done it before. Personally, I use a Keystore, but I've seen many prefer the xDefi browser extension. If you have Chrome or Brave, maybe you should try xDefi. I use mainly Firefox, and they don't have a version for Firefox yet.
OK thank you @gadrian I'm going to try xDefi. !BBH !CTP
Do I need to install MetaMask too? I just installed xDefi on my Chrome. Thank you.
Not needed for LeoDex. But you might need it for certain platforms on EVMs you might use. Otherwise, xDefi is pretty popular, and it might be all you need pretty much everywhere.
OK thank you @gadrian that is awesome about xDefi! 😊👍
