Con la intención de entender la rentabilidad que ofrece “Splinterlands”, debemos comenzar por evaluar los flujos que generan estas recompensas, básicamente que fuentes tanto de liquidez y activos tiene el juego y el ecosistema en su conjunto, con esto claro, el objetivo es determinar y responder lo que queremos saber que es la pregunta realizada en la introducción, así que, comencemos con esto:

Sistema de Recompensas (Motor de Ingresos)

• SPS (Splintershards): Este es el token de Gobernanza del juego y el principal motor de las recompensas que todo jugador percibe diariamente. Básicamente aquí lo que debemos saber es que la emisión se distribuye en 3 pools de batalla de alrededor de 900000 SPS por temporada, la división seria entre los 3 formatos mas famosos que son (Modern, Wild y Survival). Esto es algo que se deben tomar en cuenta si de verdad queremos proyectar esos ingresos diarios.

• GLINT: Este es una especie de token de recompensas que no posee valor, no es transferible y se obtiene mediante la acumulación de victorias en cualquiera de estos formatos que ya mencioné, ahora bien, su uso se enfoca en usarlos en la ”Tienda de Recompensas” donde podemos comprar distintos “Items” y cartas que nos permitirá completar el mazo actual de recompensas y en el proceso generar ganancias, ya que en la actualidad podemos obtener flujo de caja vendiendo las cartas de “Lamina Dorada” que ganemos del SET de recompensas actual.

• Loot Chests: Estos son los cofres de recompensa, clasificados en 3 niveles o rarezas que son (Minor , Major y Ultimate), aunque, si bien su valor no se enfoca en obtener dinero de forma rápida como si estuvieras jugando cada batalla, la idea de estos cofres es obtener las cartas del SET de recompensa, ahora bien, estas cartas son muy importantes porque aumenta el nivel de tu mazo prácticamente gratis, lo que me lleva también a mencionar a los “Rarity Draws” donde obtienes estas cartas directamente.

Lo siguiente que debemos conocer es como todos estos factores se combinan y los necesitamos para al final producir esas ganancias que estamos buscando, al final lo que estamos buscando es elevar ese porcentaje que ganamos de las “Pools de Recompensas”, pero, para eso los factores que necesitamos para que suceda deben interactuar y es aquí donde todo se complica. Pero lo explicare de forma más clara en breve.

¿Cuáles son esos Factores que optimizan las recompensas?

Lo principal viene dado por la cantidad de SPS que podemos ganar por victoria, bien sea si obtenemos una racha o al menos ganamos el 55% de la totalidad de las batallas que jugamos con frecuencia diaria. Con esto claro, sin que los siguientes factores que compartiré no se unen, ganar mas porcentaje de las pools de recompensas de SPS, será una dura batalla para nosotros. Así que veamos cuales son esos factores de optimización que tanto he comentado:

Factores de Optimización

• Rating: Básicamente esto es lo que impulsa el multiplicador de tus recompensas, es lo que te hace subir de liga, por lo que, mientras más alto sea, más porcentaje extraerás de dicho pool. Por lo general un buen “Rating” seria igual o superior a 3100.

• SPS en Staking: Este es uno de los factores clave, ya que determina el multiplicador de batalla, los famosos RSHARES (Rewards Shares). Básicamente mientras más SPS tengas, mayor será ese multiplicador y más SPS por batalla ganaras al final del día.

• Tu mazo y el nivel de tus cartas: Este es otro de los puntos fuertes, ya que es muy importante tener un buen mazo completo y en el nivel correspondiente, porque si no sufrirías penalizaciones en las recompensas.

• Energía: Puede que se vea que la “Energía” no es importante, pero, la realidad es que es fundamental, ya que, sin esta energía, al menos en los 2 primeros formatos no podrás generar la cantidad de SPS que necesitas y es justo con los “Chests” toman relevancia, pues aquí se ganan muchas energias y donde el GLINT que ganemos es crucial para adquirir estos cofres.

La Viabilidad

Aquí es donde se pone interesante, sin embargo, para sentar las bases de este análisis tengo que cubrirlo en un siguiente post, puesto que las bases y el “Prologo” de este post se extendió demasiado, pero, mi siguiente post será la continuación de este y quiere mostrar cálculos simples pero que puedan usar para medir la verdadera rentabilidad.

Consideraciones Finales

Si quieren saber estos cálculos, tienen que seguir la publicación, sin embargo, a pesar de no responder realmente la pregunta en este post, este “Prologo” es sumamente importante, ya que explica como funciona todo lo que necesitas para entrar en las ganancias. Así que, si tienes alguna duda sobre esto, no dudes en comentar, sé que quisieran saber cuánto podrían ganar y estas son las bases que necesitan.

Nos vemos en el "Campo de Batalla"

In the Splinterlands community, new players always ask the same question: Is it possible to earn $10 to $15 a day, and how long will it take to recoup their investment? This is typical—the first thing they wonder is how much they can make from the game—but the reality is that things don’t work that way. If you want to make money, you have to invest. Furthermore, Splinterlands is a complete ecosystem. While it’s true that everything revolves around the game itself—the cards, the battles, and the TCG—if you want to be successful, you must think like an investor, so the game’s economic mechanics go beyond the conventional.

That’s why I think it’s very important to publish more content related to the “Splinterlands” economy, since many people come in with misconceptions, such as thinking the game is a form of mining—although, right now, that would be impossible to achieve unless you play your cards right (a strategic metaphor). but in this post, I’ll finally clear up those doubts by explaining the reward system, the factors that drive those earnings, and the math behind the scenario everyone’s wondering about: Can you really make $10 to $15 a day?

So, if you want to understand how the game’s economy works, find out if it’s actually possible to earn that much money every day, and learn what you really need to do it, stick around for this post—you’re sure to learn a lot.

Anatomy of the Rewards System: The Revenue Engine

To understand the profitability offered by “Splinterlands,” we must first assess the flows that generate these rewards—specifically, the sources of both liquidity and assets within the game and the ecosystem as a whole. With that in mind, the goal is to determine and answer the question posed in the introduction. So, let’s begin:

Rewards System (Revenue Engine)

• SPS (Splintershards): This is the game's governance token and the main driver of the rewards that every player receives daily. Basically, what we need to know here is that the token supply is distributed across 3 battle pools of approximately 900,000 SPS per season, divided among the 3 most popular formats: Modern, Wild, and Survival. This is something to keep in mind if we truly want to project those daily earnings.

• GLINT: This is a type of reward token that has no monetary value, is non-transferable, and is earned by accumulating wins in any of the formats I mentioned earlier. That said, their use is focused on the “Rewards Store,” where we can purchase various “Items” and cards that will allow us to complete the current rewards deck and, in the process, generate profits, since we can currently generate cash flow by selling the “Golden Foil” cards we earn from the current rewards set.

• Loot Chests: These are the reward chests, categorized into three tiers or rarities: Minor, Major, and Ultimate. Although their value isn’t focused on making quick money—as if you were playing every battle—the point of these chests is to obtain cards from the reward set. That said, these cards are very important because they boost your deck’s level practically for free, which also brings me to mention the “Rarity Draws” where you get these cards directly.

---

The next thing we need to understand is how all these factors come together and how we need them to ultimately generate the profits we’re looking for. Ultimately, our goal is to increase the percentage we earn from the “Reward Pools,” but for that to happen, the factors involved must interact—and that’s where things get complicated. But I’ll explain it more clearly shortly.

What are the factors that maximize rewards?

The key factor is the amount of SPS we can earn per victory, whether we go on a winning streak or simply win at least 55% of all the battles we play on a daily basis. With that in mind, even if the following factors I’m about to share don’t come into play, winning a larger share of the SPS reward pools will be an uphill battle for us. So let’s take a look at those optimization factors I’ve been talking about:

Optimization Factors

• Rating: Basically, this is what drives your reward multiplier—it’s what helps you move up in the league—so the higher it is, the larger a percentage you’ll receive from that pool. Generally speaking, a good “rating” would be 3100 or higher.

• SPS Staked: This is one of the key factors, as it determines the battle multiplier—the famous RSHARES (Rewards Shares). Basically, the more SPS you have, the higher that multiplier will be, and the more SPS per battle you’ll earn at the end of the day.

• Your deck and the level of your cards: This is another key point, as it’s very important to have a well-rounded deck at the appropriate level; otherwise, you’ll receive reduced rewards.

• Energy: It might seem like “Energy” isn’t important, but the reality is that it’s essential, since without this energy—at least in the first two game modes—you won’t be able to generate the amount of SPS you need. This is where “Chests” come into play, as they’re a major source of energy, and the GLINT we earn is crucial for acquiring these chests.

Feasibility

This is where it gets interesting; however, to lay the groundwork for this analysis, I’ll have to cover it in a future post, since the introduction and “Prologue” of this post have already gone on too long. My next post will be a continuation of this one and will present some simple calculations you can use to measure true profitability.

Final Thoughts

If you want to know these calculations, you’ll have to follow the post. However, even though this “Prologue” doesn’t directly answer the question in this post, it’s extremely important because it explains how everything works—everything you need to start making a profit. So, if you have any questions about this, feel free to comment. I know you’d like to know how much you could earn, and these are the basics you need.

See you at the "Battlefield".
