Splinterland's SPS Governance Token - This really IS Next Level Stuff for Crypto-Gaming!
Splinterlands is gearing up for its next gaming innovation - the SplinterShards (SPS) governance token, which is set to give token holders a serious stake deciding the future direction of the game. And the market likes it!
Details and road map are in the this post.
Basically SplinterShards is a DAO system - stake weight in SPS gives holders voting rights over whether or not to accept proposals to change aspects of the Splinterlands game, and beyond.
Any player can make a proposal (I presume this will be similar in format to the current HIve proposal system) and then SPS stakeholders can vote on whether to action said proposal.
According to @yabapmatt in the recent AMA, pretty much ANYTHING is on the cards (excuse the pun) for a proposal....
- changing the parameters of existing cards
- distribution of rewards of tokens such as DEC, and SPS
- season length
- aspects of tournaments and brawls.
- Wether to make potions sellable assets
- And even the possibility of detaching SPS from Splinterlands and assigning them to other games.
Basically as I understood it, if it's codeable, it's proposable.
SPS tokens to be airdropped to investors based on their various Splinterlands assets
If you've got cards, land, DEC, packs etc. you will receive an airdrop of SPS tokens based on your holdings. If you want to calculate your drop, @nealmcspadden has provided this handy spreadsheet so you can calculate...
NB - some of the SPS tokens are going to major investors, so it's not just players with assets who are getting them!
Splinterlands - Funding Sorted, focus now on Player Experience
Something else I learned during the AMA was that Splinterlands have had a major investment from a venture capital firm, I can't remember the name of it offhand, but they only invest in something like 10 out of 1000 small start ups they screen, and the fact that Splinterlands has caught their eye is really encouraging.
As Yabapmatt described it - they've now got considerable funding for the business going forwards and they can just focus on how to improve the player experience.
Final Thoughts
I'm super impressed with the way this game is developing - the amount of money I've got invested in it seems crazy for what are just some digital NFTs, but Splinterlands cards really are the BEST NFTS out there - aesthetically pleasing, usable as game assets, and very tradeable.
And the development pace is intense. I really get the feeling that in terms of price we're just going up from here, and rapidly too.

A new gov token on a great project? Well that sounds exciting to me. I'm a small fish on Splinterlands, but I see massive potential for the platform.

It's been one of my best Hive investments for sure!
Can be a really big thing. I need to spend more time reading all about it :)

Governance token is good. But more good, if tokens will be distributing like UNI, by Airdrop.
I'm still trying to figure out how this is going to work, but I'm excited.
I also spent a lot on cards, mainly gold foil cards, I love this game and I confess that I suffer from a consumerist impulse, I am compulsive to buy cards, and I often wondered if I was doing something crazy.
Fortunately now after reading your post, I am more and more convinced that in the end spending so much, was a good investment decision. :)

You just have to be OK with selling some of them at some point to recoup that investment! Unless you earn enough in tournaments and rewards to do so?
I think the amount I've got invested is crazy enough. My Splinterlands holdings are worth more than my car, and I imagine you've got a lot more than me!
Still, the only way is up!
Hi, thanks for commenting, sorry for the delay in replying.
For the time being I'm not going to sell anything, I'm going to wait for the land thing because it looks like the cards can be used with production functions.
I earn a lot from tournaments, and consider cards as tools of work, so I try never to look at the price of the collection.
I also don't want to look and scare myself thinking I'm rich haha :)

This is one of my best investment and highest .
With the recent price surge in cards, it shows that my card value is now above $3000.
Unimaginable for me where asset earn income and get valuable with time.

It's nuts isn't it - looking at the value of your cards etc. My Vest is now around $10K.
Mental!
Looks like Splinterlands has entered a new phase of its existence. Trying and succeeding to exponentially grow its outreach and funding. We should be some happy early investors.
And one more thing... Splinterlands card prices hold pretty well during market plunges, even when there aren't great news like that to pump them.

The progress has been impressive for sure, and trust me the prices of my assets holding up isn't lost on me!
