SPS DAO Proposal - MonsterMarket as a 3rd Party Market

For years, MonsterMarket has been a dedicated pillar of the Splinterlands ecosystem. Our core mission has always been to give back to the community—whether by providing instant cashback on asset purchases, maintaining critical backend infrastructure, or developing reliable cross-chain bridges.

Below is a summary of our ongoing contributions to the ecosystem:

Our Contributions to the Community

The Marketplace

What began as a simple Discord bot just months after the launch of Splinterlands has evolved into a comprehensive, community-trusted platform. Initially created to manually process cashbacks for a small group of players, MonsterMarket grew rapidly as community demand increased. Listening closely to player feedback, we developed a fully automated web interface designed to deliver a seamless, fast, and user-friendly experience, ensuring players can effortlessly maximize their value with every transaction.

Validator & Infrastructure Support

To support the decentralized future of Splinterlands, we operate a robust archival full node API (validator.monstermarket.io). Additionally, we run an SPS Validator as a Service (SVaaS), providing enterprise-grade infrastructure and technical support for prominent Splinterlands players, guilds, and investors.

To assist the broader network, we also maintain a geographically distributed, high-availability snapshot service that helps other validators sync efficiently:

• Full Node Snapshot: https://snapshots.monstermarket.io/snapshot-full.zip
• Light Node Snapshot: https://snapshots.monstermarket.io/snapshot-light.zip

Furthermore, our team actively monitors, reviews, and contributes to the open-source validator codebase to help ensure ongoing network stability and security.

Cross-Chain Solutions (The Bridge)

During a period when the community required a more cost-effective and reliable cross-chain solution, we developed and deployed a dedicated DEC and SPS bridge to the BNB Chain, fully funded by our investors. This initiative provided critical liquidity and reduced friction for players when they needed it most. We have recently paused this service, as we proudly recognize and utilize the excellent native bridge now offered directly by the SPS DAO.

Technical Consulting & Open-Source Contributions

Beyond Splinterlands-specific infrastructure, we operate the ecosystem's most widely utilized Hive-Engine RPC (enginerpc.com), which facilitates the daily transactions of countless Splinterlands players. Our commitment to the broader Web3 gaming space is reflected in our ongoing creation of, and contributions to, numerous open-source projects that form the backbone of the community's daily experience.

Let’s Keep Building Together

The Splinterlands community is the backbone of everything we do at MonsterMarket. We aren't just developers; we are players, investors, and massive fans of this ecosystem.

To continue providing high-tier infrastructure, SVaaS, and marketplace features, we need the community's backing. By voting for this proposal, you are allowing us to keep earning market fees, which directly fund the maintenance and expansion of the tools you use every single day.
