💥 Company Updates 💥

SPS Validator License Sale

• SPS Foundation is starting the License sale on Wednesday, May 25th (Check out the Node Shop page)
  • None of the sales is going to the Splinterlands company
  • 80% of the SPS is going to be burned, 20% goes to the SPS DAO
• Licenses will be NFTs so they can be transferred like all other assets
  • Will be included in the non-card market when released as well
• Will be able to hold multiple licenses under one account and link that account to the licenses
  • That way you won't need one account per license
• Goal with SPS Validators is to have all assets (DEC, cards, land, etc..) to be mixed into the validator system
• Outside interest has expressed they'd like to invest $1M+ in Node Validators
  • The presale is geared mainly for current players who already own SPS + Vouchers
• Presale will only allow 1 license to be purchased per transaction
  • Tranches will allow as many licenses to be bought in one transaction

⚡️ Q&A Summary ⚡️

SPS Validator Nodes:

• Q4 2022 SPS Validators - Mainnet will be live & SPS rewards will begin
• Q1 2023 Splinterlands Validators - When other assets (DEC, cards, land, etc..) will be moved over to the Validator system

---

Ranked Rewards:

• Ideally, you should be getting roughly the same amount of chests in each league you are in
  • If you don't have the levels for higher leagues, you should optimally stay in the league that better suits your levels
• What is being released next week at the end of season isn't going to be the only changes made to Ranked Rewards
  • Team will constantly monitor the changes and adjust based on analysis and feedback from community
• Team would like to add a whole bunch of different focuses in the near-future

---

CL Summoner Airdrops:

• Airdrop rates are set to still be an additional 25 packs for each Summoner released
  • These numbers won't change even with more packs being opened recently

---

Riftwatchers / Vouchers:

• The team will determine how the Riftwatcher sale will be handled once we get closer to the Riftwatchers release
  • Anything could change in the few months leading up to the release so the team wants to adjust as they see best
• Generally, vouchers will be required for at least a certain part of the sale
  • Still up to debate is whether vouchers will be required for the whole sale or not

---

Guild Brawls:

• The team did release changes in regards to brawl rewards a few weeks ago
  • Team is monitoring the changes and analyze how they affected the economy
• Team is limited in capacity and would love to put more work into Brawls when time allows

---

Modern/Wild CP Requirements:

• Team doesn't want to increase CP requirements even as more and more cards are released into the economy
  • Would make leagues harder for new players overall to climb
• Team will review how the economy and system works once Modern/Wild is live and will adjust as needed after
