⚡️ AMA Summary ⚡️

Mobile App:

  • Currently building a team to develop/enhance the mobile app
  • Not the highest priority, but hoping to be planned around Q4

Liquidity Pools:

  • LP is where you have money on both sides of the pool
  • TribalDex started giving out small fees to the LP providers
    • This fee is charged from the buyer now
    • The more liquidity, the less price impact

Chaos Legion Packs In Quest Rewards:

  • Team estimates around 25k - 30k CL packs will be rewarded in quest rewards per month
  • Once CL packs are all sold out, team isn't sure if the drop will be replaced with DEC

Stream Team:

  • Trying to build a presence on most media channels
    • Better brand visibility while also giving back to the community
  • Goal is to bring new players into the game and organic traffic
  • Holding off on applications currently

Product Pipeline:

  • Ideation => Design => Product Management =>Asset Creation =>Development =>DevOps
  • New features run through this pipeline at different times
  • Allows the team to build multiple features at the same time through this assembly line

2-Factor Authentication:

  • Splinterlands is not a digital asset custodian
    • Exchanges own your tokens as you don't own the wallet/keys
  • Splinterlands players hold their keys and the game doesn't use the keys for the players in any way
  • Adding 2FA would not add additional security if someone steals your keys

Roadmap:

  • Hardpoint really wants to drive to update the team's roadmap
  • Hoping to have something out by end of February

I took the time to watch most of the live on YouTube, I really enjoy the AMA. It makes me more confidence about my investment in the project because your are able to be accountable to the community and I believe it makes the projects very sustainable. I bought even bought some extra SPS with Hive while listening to the live. Thanks for the time all those teams members took in order to talk to us, it does make a difference.

There's no sense in getting new players organically or otherwise if the seocnd they get here you tell them they're only important if the buy everything and try to get champion league. Oh and by the way that's going to cost 5 figures.

Can you cater a little bit to the bread and butter of your game? Those who are content to play at a lower level and will buy some assets but don't have 10's of thousands of dollars to spend?

If only there was a captch in the game. When would I accept a battle if I had to solve a captcha, so it would help against bots, I don't know anything about programming but I was wondering. It wouldn't have to be every game, but there were times and if it wasn't resolved there would be a punishment of not being able to play for a few minutes. I'd rather solve captcha than kill myself to assemble a team and lose to the bot lol.
