Useful Splinterlands, Hive and Crypto Links - updated 03/10/23

Quick Intro

I started playing Splinterlands around December of 2021. It was actually my first time playing a crypto game and definitely first time using the HIVE blockchain. 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.

03/10 Update - added additional Hive game, more links, view cleanup, grammatical fixes.

Creating a Hive Account

• 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.
• Ecency.com - You can get a free Hive account here.

Splinterlands

https://Splinterlands.com - Where you can play the game, buy your Spellbook (which creates Hive account).

Other Hive Games

Rising Star - https://www.risingstargame.com/

• Rising Star is a timed-mission clicking game. You can enjoy collecting cards (NFT's) as you gain fans and earn starbits (hive token). Hive Keychain needed to play.
• RS Game FAM - https://rsgfam.com/ ; It's a must for easily buying fans, instruments, uniques.
• NFT Mart - https://nftm.art/buy/star ; great for buying, selling hive-based nft's

More games coming soon!

Hive Keychain

https://Hive-Keychain.com - This needs its own section. A must have have for quicker access/logins (You can add extensions for chrome, brave and also there's the app for android/iphone)

PC Browsers (my top 3)

• https://Brave.com - official browser of Splinterlands
• https://Firefox.com - Another good browser with lots of extensions
• https://Chrome.com - Solid browser

Mobile Browsers

• Metamask mobile app browser - a must for Eth/Binance/Polygon/Etc. transactions from your mobile device
• Hive Keychain mobile app browser - a must for Hive transaction from your mobile device

Wallets

• https://Metamask.io - An easy to use wallet with browser extension available. Also app for iphone/android. You will likely want to add the binance chain to your wallet.
• Coinbase.com - US based exchange/wallet
• Crypto.com - Useful wallet and also has SPS listed there for purchase with fiat.
• Ledger Wallet (cold storage) - https://www.ledger.com/

Hive Markets/Swapping

• https://Tribaldex.com - place to buy/sell/create hive-based tokens like dec/sps/etc.
• https://Hive-Engine.com - Hive Market & Wallet access
• https://beeswap.dcity.io - best tool for swapping hive currencies I've used. Also converts Hive to Swap.Hive and vice versa cheaper than tribaldex.
• https://wallet.hive.blog/market - internal market, good for swapping hbd/hive

Bridges - for moving assets across different chains

• https://MonsterMarket.IO - cheapest bridge I believe to move SPS or DEC to/from binance to Hive.
• https://splinterlands.com/ - Ingame Bridge for moving sps/dec from binance to ingame. I haven't used
• https://app.multichain.org (formerly anyswap) - my goto from swapping coins across Binance/Eth/Polygon

Exchange Site - for swapping tokens on same exchange

• https://Quickswap.exchange - Great for swapping tokens on Polygon
• https://Pancakeswap.finance - Great for binance swaps
• https://Sushi.com - Great for Eth swaps
• https://Binance.com - great for most swaps but US residents don't have access

Splinterlands Card Markets

Splinterlands Node License

• License tokens can be purchased in the ingame shop for $2500 in SPS plus 500 vouchers or on Hive Engine.
  If you don't want to have to eventually run validator software and prefer your rewards liquid instead of automatically staked there's a nice way to earn below with a much smaller initial investment.

• https://layer2labs.io/earn/ezlicense - earn sps node license rewards (current ROI approx 30%)

• Tokens can be purchased right from tribaldex: https://tribaldex.com/trade/EZLICENSE

Splinterlands Bots (autoplays splinterlands for you when you're busy)

• https://Archmage.app - Great bot, they take a share of your sps rewards, requires an Archmage, ArchmageA or ArchmageB token held in your hive account.

• https://Xbot.app - haven't personally tried but once you buy token it's free.
