About

In an effort to help new people not struggle like I did, I plan to continue updating these links. They should provide a good resource to find everything you need to succeed in Splinterlands and the HIVE blockchain.

Creating a Hive Account

• You can get a free HIVE wallet here: https://hiveonboard.com?ref=hivedrip

• There's a great link for different options to sign up for a HIVE wallet: https://signup.hive.io/

• Splinterlands.com - Buy a spellbook and you will have a hive account. This is needed to play the game anyways so is the route I went.

Getting HIVE

• https://www.binance.com or https://www.us.binance.us are easiest if you have access.
• You can also deposit ETH, LTC, BTC, BNB and more at Tribaldex. You will receive the hive equivalent for your coin that you can then sell on the market for swap.hive. This would skip the next step of buying HIVE directly then exchanging for swap.hive.

Converting to Hive/Swap.Hive

• USWAP - https://swaphive.github.io/swap/ or uswap.app (cheapest hive/swap.hive bridge)
• Tribaldex - https://tribaldex.com/wallet/ (use withdraw or deposit to get hive/swap.hive)
• Beeswap (easiest for converting most any token to swap.hive, 2nd cheapest bridge)

Hive Games

Splinterlands

• https://Splinterlands.com - Where you can play the game, buy your Spellbook (which creates Hive account).
• Splinterlands is a CCG where you can battle other players and earn crypto tokens (SPS).
• Cards can be rented to play or purchased from several markets I mention below.
• Splinterlands has been through multiple bear markets and has a dedicated team of talented people that have made the best game on HIVE.

Serfdom & Sorcery, "S&S" from makers of Psyber-X

*This is the only HIVE-based DISCORD game I know of. It's an old-school rpg game where you can level up by killing monsters, you can own land and a castle. You can steal from your neighbor and have a farm. Very addicting so far.
