Splinterlands 5 Year Anniversary Event

In celebration of the five year anniversary of the initial launch of the Splinterlands website (then called Steem Monsters) and Alpha pack sale, we will be launching a promotional event where we will be giving away TONS of prizes in the form of various Splinterlands assets that the company has accumulated in its treasury over the past 5 years.

The prizes will include new player Titles, lots of land plots, Runi, and all types of different booster packs, including some Alpha packs! To earn the prizes, players will need to burn DEC or DEC-B and there will be both leaderboard prizes for the players who burn the most as well as random giveaway prizes that are available to everyone who participates.

Event Details & Prizes

The 5 year anniversary event is scheduled to begin during the scheduled maintenance window on Tuesday, May 30th, 2023 and it will run for 30 days, ending on June 29th, 2023.

Players will be able to access and participate in the event through a new tab on the shop page within the Splinterlands website. During the event, players will be able to burn DEC or DEC-B tokens and receive points for each token burned. At the start of the event, players will receive 3 points for each DEC or DEC-B that is burned, and the number of points received will decrease an equal amount every day until the final day of the event when players will receive 1 point for each DEC or DEC-B that is burned.

This way players are encouraged to burn their tokens as early as possible, and it makes it harder for players to snipe the top leaderboard spots at the last minute. Please note that players will need to burn their DEC or DEC-B through the special event page in the Splinterlands shop for it to count for the event. DEC or DEC-B burned via other methods, including manually sending to "null" or upgrading guild buildings, will NOT count.

The players who have the most points at the end of the event will receive the following prizes based on their leaderboard rank:

PlaceRewards
1"The Burninator" Legendary Title + 1 Tract
2"The Burninator" Legendary Title + 50 Plots
3"The Burninator" Legendary Title + 50 Plots
4"The Burninator" Legendary Title + 25 Plots
5"The Burninator" Legendary Title + 25 Plots
6"The Burninator" Legendary Title + 25 Plots
7"The Burninator" Legendary Title + 25 Plots
8"The Burninator" Legendary Title + 10 Plots
9"The Burninator" Legendary Title + 10 Plots
10"The Burninator" Legendary Title + 10 Plots
11 - 60"The Incinerator" Epic Title
61 - 200"The Scorcher" Rare Title

Note that in the event of a tie, the account that reached the final amount first will be considered the winner. Also, if you don't know what "The Burninator" is - please click here.

In addition to the leaderboard competition and rewards, every 10,000 (10k) points that a player earns during the event will provide a chance to receive one of the following items from the prize pool:

  • Land Plot (200 total available)
  • Alpha Pack (100 total available)
  • Beta Pack (250 total available)
  • Untamed Pack (500 total available)
  • Nightmare Pack (1000 total available)
  • Riftwatchers Pack (1000 total available)
  • Runi (25 total available)

Players may earn one item from the list above for EACH 10k points that they earn during the event, so if a player gets 100k points then they will have the chance to earn up to 10 items from the above prize pool, whether or not they are on the leaderboard. Players who place on the leaderboard at the end of the event will receive their specified leaderboard prizes as well as having the chance to receive the above prizes for each 10k points they have earned!

In total, there will be over 3,500 prizes given out as part of the event worth roughly $150,000 at current market prices!

Guild Power

In addition to the awesome prizes listed above, each DEC or DEC-B that is burned will be turned into Guild Power (GP) for that player, which means it will be able to be applied to guild buildings in the near future when the Guild Power feature is released. The feature will change all guild buildings to require Guild Power to upgrade instead of DEC, and Guild Power will be able to be acquired by burning DEC or DEC-B at a 1:1 rate. The difference will be that players take their Guild Power with them when they leave or are kicked from a guild, and then can re-apply it to a new guild later!

This means that if you burn 1000 DEC during this event, then when the Guild Power feature is released you will have 1000 Guild Power that you can apply to the upgrade cost for any guild building, which allows you to get double the value for burning DEC during the event than you would if you were just contributing it to your guild! Even if you're in a guild with maxed out buildings, we are planning to add a number of new guild buildings in the next few months, as well as a leaderboard for the guilds with the most total Guild Power, with lots of great rewards, so you'll have plenty of opportunity to gain value from all of the Guild Power you receive during the event.

Thank You!

It's crazy to think about all of the things that have happened during the past 5 years, both in Splinterlands as well as in the world in general. Back in May of 2018, the project was called Steem Monsters, the Hive blockchain didn't exist, no one had heard of COVID, and bitcoin was worth about $7,000.

The Splinterlands team is both honored and humbled by the unbelievable amount of support and determination we have been shown by our amazing community over the past five years, and we see this event as a great way to give back to the players who make this all possible while also adding significant value to the overall ecosystem (which also benefits players) through burning DEC.

We want to give a big THANK YOU - from the bottom of our hearts - to our players, both old and new, who have stuck it out here through all of those ups and downs. We can't wait to see what the next 5 years will bring!


Stay tuned for more updates from the Splinterlands!

That's going to be a lot of DEC burned. $0.001 peg might go out the window and SPS might finally see it's day of being a swap for DEC! Awesome way to give back to the community and just make everything stronger. Including there could be huge promotion involved with this to get new players in and old ones active. I'm liking the setup and the thought out plan of how to do it. Well done! Thank you for making an awesome game that just keeps getting better

DEC/DEC-B burning be like
Whales -Thank you for being our biggest supporters and being here for the longest time, we want you to benefit the most so for you, we give the Leaderboard
Regular players (majority) - every little DEC/DEC-B burned helps, so you get a chance to get something(hopefully), at least you wont feel getting left behind, sounds fair?
New players (is there even any) - same, you can join and burn DEC (no DEC-B though) to get a chance of getting something instead of investing on sure assets like cards etc -smart move :D
-saw in some forum, is it accurate?

anyway happy anniversary SPL!

quite accurate but if you do the math, the required DEC burn isn't that expensive. You can get 10k points for a little less than $3 at the current price. Not to mention, on that 10k points, you can get a minimum of 1 pack. I am quite happy that the Chaos Legion pack isn't included in those prizes.

If you can get an Alpha pack for $3 (if you're lucky), that might've been the best reward you can get in a long time.

Every 10k points will ONLY provide a CHANCE to RECEIVE rewards so it's NOT GUARANTEED. the more players that burns the lesser chance you get especially if other players burns more than you. if you're not in a guild you basically get nothing out of the burning aside from a lottery ticket.

I see majority of players doesn't really care,like me, i'm not happy but i'm not against it either since i know that SPL is only doing it to improve the game economy.

In the end the only ones that will happy will be SPL and the whales.

This is NOT MAINLY to thank players but just an opportunity to improve the game economy. Just my opinion. No hate. I still love the actual game.

It is guaranteed. What is not guaranteed is the price you will get but it is guaranteed that you will get a prize for every 10k points.

you are wrong! it can never be guaranteed when there are prize limits.
Every 10k points you get a ticket, and that ticket can be a prize or not.
Think about it, if there are 3075 prizes to be distributed other than the ranking, at the beginning of the event each Dec burned gives 3 points, 3333.33 Dec burned = 10 K points = 1 ticket
If only 10M Dec's are burned the chance is 1 ticket = 1 prize...if more Dec's are burned, the chance of receiving a prize decreases, meaning you may not win anything, only GP.

Where do I sign up to get these kinds of prices? By my calculations, 10k DEC is gonna cost you around 8 bucks.

A saperlo prima che avevamo questo potere, avremmo potuto metterci a parlare di questo argomento già da un bel po', e magari scrivere anche dei dettagli su quello che avremmo voluto, così da avvantaggiarci. 🤣🤣🤣

Potrebbe valere la pena di fare qualche tentativo anche con altri giochi, e vedere se funziona anche con loro, a questo punto.

Se dovesse realmente essere così, però, credo che il prossimo step sia tentare con i 6 numeri del SuperEnalotto e incrociare le dita... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Beh... se funzionasse come ha funzionato per il contest di Splinterlands, basterebbe parlarne, citando i numeri che si pensa potrebbero consentirci la vincita del premio più consistente, e attendere semplicemente che ciò accada.

Il che non sarebbe una cosa poi così spiacevole, visto che mi aiuterebbe a sistemare, in pochissimo tempo, un bel po' di situazioni spiacevoli, e credo che mi consentirebbe anche di togliermi parecchie soddisfazioni...

Purtroppo, però, temo che non sia esattamente così facile, anche se, sognare per un attimo, oltre che essere gratis, è decisamente piacevole.

Una delle poche cose che ancora continuano ad esserlo, fortunatamente, anche se, per come stanno andando le cose, non mi meraviglierei affatto se, un'oggi o un domani, ci si ritrovasse in una situazione in cui anche quello diventasse a pagamento.

Per quanto lo ritenga, quindi, altamente improbabile, se non letteralmente impossibile, non vedo perché non concedersi il permesso di sognare, almeno, una cosa di questo genere, anche se sarebbe, effettivamente, una botta di culo a dir poco stratosferica, ma in fondo ne ho viste di ogni, e, quindi, perché no.

Non so se sei sul gruppo discord di NFT Italia, all'interno del quale c'è anche una sezione dedicata a questo gioco, ma qualche tempo fa c'è stato uno degli utenti che, con un solo Plot, si è ritrovato a pescare un terreno leggendario, con tanto di castello e tutti gli annessi e connessi.

Di conseguenza, ribadisco, perché, almeno, non concedersi il lusso di sognare e poi stare a vedere che cosa succede?!?

Posso solo immaginare quello che deve aver provato, visto che, a occhio e croce, credo che si sia ritrovato in tasca, in pochi secondi, un terreno che ha un controvalore, dando un'occhiata al mercato, di almeno 5000 dollari, che è, attualmente, il prezzo più basso che ho visto apparire utilizzando la ricerca sul PeakMonster.

Direi, quindi, che si può considerare una sorpresa più che piacevole, di quelle che ti fanno svoltare la giornata, e la rendono decisamente piuttosto interessante.

Certamente non mi dispiacerebbe se la stessa cosa succedesse anche a me, ma non ci conto più di tanto, visto che si tratta, veramente, di una botta di culo stratosferica, di quelle che capitano in pochissime occasioni nella vita.

That's a double down good thing.

  1. If you burn DEC/DEC-B at the start, the rate is a little less than $3 and you get at least a pack from that. Good deal from all sides.
  2. The guild power feature is quite good. I am in a guild right now but I think I am the only active member so burning DEC on this guild for upgrading buildings is kind of useless especially if the guild owner can just kick you anytime. Taking that guild power with you is a dual edged sword but kind of good.

Once it launches, it can be a fight for big dono accounts but even little accounts that contribute here and there will have security that their investment on the guild will not be for naught if ever they left the guild.

This is by far, the best promotion Splinterlands ever offered in my opinion. The required DEC to be burned is affordable even for little people and you are sure to get your money back regardless of what you get. I hope more promotions like this comes in the future and not only those whale-centric promotions.

Great initiative by Splinterlands team to add more utility for DEC in the 5 years anniversary of Splinterlands. Always great to see all of those initiatives (including the idea to add more utility for SPS too)

Anyway, I was thinking that the way we celebrate the anniversary is adding more tournaments 😅, maybe like "5 years anniversary tournament"

Congratulations for the players who have been playing for 5 years 👍

cant beleive its been 5 years and were now in a completely diff place and for ppl who can look at the big picture and take ad vantage of the low prices and all the ppl selling you can pick up some cheap stuff when ppl dump and also since a few of the players are dumping the reason not sure bc i am getting the feeling again we will see a bull run if threre is even mild bullishness once a few things align and if the fly wheel starts when land and soul keep suck up dec and dec b even if sps goes up like 2 cents or 4 cents to 4-6 that makes me like 40K and if it rips to .5 ill take a quick 200K profit and sell half and then hold half letting my nodes replenish my sps and use the 200K to buy half in real estate half in a distressed or self storage fund or mhp fund and half in the tax lein fund ive been looking at for 100K total which will bring in cash flow of 8K for the tax lein fund paid monthly and 8-10K cash on cash in pref returns with expected refi in year 3-5 100% cap return and then hold for 5 additional years reaping cash flow and get a final pay out later for expected IRR of 25% and annual total of 17K expected cash flow from rents and other gains and 50K refi in year five and a few more years of cash flow and then the final sale payout as well as allthe passive losses like 70% ish on the MHP value which is like 150K gross real estate and 100K of deductions year 1 which would off set most of the gain and then other pals would do the rest and let me instead of pay tax acquire additional real estate o avoid tax and keep growing tax feewhich is the key to growing wealth by investing so that you canget good returns while legally deferring tax until you die bc it basically doubles the amount that works for you instead of is wasted by giving it to the govt. Plus if you can keep yourincome low and cash flow high you qualify for alot of free shit and grants bc it goes of agi which can be manuvered if you dont have a w2. Like next year i plan to roll over my traditional ira convert to a roth use my additional writes offs i had this year to offset tge rollover and get it tax free and after 5 years can withdraw it and re contribute to my solo anddeduct it all again and dothe dame thing lol and keep deducting and then converting my traditional balance at least twice by doing it during yearsi purposely deferincome and accelerate losses. Also i have a few years to file so i will get like 100kback from a carry back when trump changed 19 and 20 i planned for it and also the 15 k for two years if you get covid tests made sure i got 10 so i canb get the 500 a day credit upto 5 K each year and was feeling symptoms and had covid for at least 50 days either seeking diagnosis , quarantine etc so 10K there get those covid credits and max that shit out if possible if you can bc 30K in 15 years invested in real estate wouold be likely a few million based on similar deals ive seen finish. When i did taxes i realized how important it was to defer taxes and invest it rather than pay it to the govt ifyou look hard enough you can always find a loop hold to take advantage of to keep your money and instead make it work for you creating passive income which will be one of the only ways you can gain financial freedom from having to do anything you dont like and can be extremly picky about any work or jobs you agree to bcyou dont need it if it has anything you dont like. For example if its not a 1099 i wont do it period bc i cant sheild it from taxes well and i also prefer to work for my self and never a gain a company that always has rules you dont like or since i hate working in a suite and prefer my pjs now i prefer to just stay at home and work on line for myself. It makes it easier now im in the USVI with a view of the ocean and next year will prob move to san juan depending but after i get my refund this year it will add a lot of extra income which will just make my life much easier it deff paid off to work my ass off when i was younger bc im thanking my self now bc i couldnt imagine only having 2-4weeks vacation when i usually have like the whole year and work on things i want to work on only and never work a full day just stop when i get tired and watch tv gotothe beach or go out with the neighbors or firends etc. Also see a lot of opportunity here to invest as well and once i am able to get everything set up which is super slow ill be investing in a UTV 4 seater to drive around with massive tires maybe wrap in SPL wrap lol But will be fun to take that out. Might try and make a boat out of wood see if i can doit and also make a tiki bar to put on the upstairs deck to so we can have ppl there and use it also will build a thing so i can work outside to. I might hold off of the car if i can manage to just need a care 2 times a month to get food and take the trash out as well as a few other errands i figure if ican do that and buy a lot of food especially going into hurricane season stock up on a shit load of water and canne food as well as a few tanks of propane for the oven and a generator then im all set and if it is to hot i can goto the uvi library and just plug into there internet directly figured out how to bypass needing credentials and plug my own cord into the walldirectly lol Its nice and coldin there but im getting used tothe heat and at night its nice. This next mnth will be pretty easy since i really wont be leaving the house area i need to catch up on work and im just going to take a month or two get a shit load of food on the cab ride back and just load up so i wont needto leave since im up inthe mountains and the walk is pretty far to the buss thing and cabs can never find the house but once i get all my tax refunds i may buy that off road vehicle lol. Well see if its over 100K then ill consider it if say its 125K ill use the 25K to get it and probably drive it for free since i can write it all off get 12500in tax benefit and likely sell it for 13-14K after a few years with the tax benefit etc ill come out break even on it which is a perk of owning a business you can deduct many things w2 jobs prevent you from doing and that is deff on purpose bc most ppl have w2s sothey bone that source of income so they get more revenue and less ownbuinesses plus all the ppl that govern own companies so they of course dont want to pay tax and now that i know all the rules i figured i would apply it to me and not pay either lol Ive gotten to work less and make more since my cash flow is actually what i keep and it is like double that if it were a w2 where i pay for everything after tax but now i canwrite off my equipment , car , apt, cost of moving down here part of the time , cost of travel , basically half of almost anything if i have to do with work which is most of the time so 80 % ish is a expense and some times a credit which helps out my cash flow a ton. America has crazy laws but they have great loopholes if you can figure out how to find them and use them to plan for your income to be at the optimal level regard less of cash flow which is much higher than 18K which is optimal for maxing benefits and credits lol get a ton of free shit and when the inflation is high and the govt bones you its time to milkthem for evertyhing you can get bc they sure as hell are not there to really help you there there to make sure you stay unable to get out of the rat race by trying to get you to buy into the need for a big house with a mortgage and kids early etc and expensive engagement rings and all pointless shit that if yiou dont do it or wait until you make money then you can just stop and spend time withyour family in your thirties if you worked hard young didnt follow the advice of invest 10% but did like 80% and also looked at alternatives instead of accepting 7% returns are good lol most alternatives 15% was my worst return lol and many inthe 40% irr per year and alot higher to. In order toinitially invest in many of the deals i had to checkthe accredited box yes to get in them and its supposed to protect me but it made me accredited lol no one is going to tell me i cant invest bc they think its to risky lol when you can plop it all on red with no permission which makes no sense or invest in sotocks pink sheets buyer be ware with no permission and they think apt complexes are not stable lol fucking idiodic govt.

Happy Birthday, Splinterlands! 🎂

This is seriously the coolest event you have done in a long time. Great opportunity for large and even greater benefits for smaller players. Including Guild Points in this makes it an absolute no-brainer to participate. Although I need my DEC for land, I will try to burn some as well. This is a win for all of us. Thank you for being awesome.

May the next five years be glorious!

I like the idea, however, you should have added a Common Title not related to the leaderboard, non-tradable, for burning X amount of DEC so people can be guaranteed they get something to remember the event - The Noob Arsonist, The Fried Chicken - whatever.
Happy Anniversary! ;-)

Very well done @splinterlands - so the big DEC holders will get their top position and prizes anyway while the small players have to burn their hard earned DEC for a small chance to win sth. Meaning the gap will increase as usual and this prettty sure will attract tons of new players that are looking for a fun game with mobile capabilities, right? Wow, impressed! SMH :-)

  1. No one has to participate if they don't want
  2. The leaderboard prizes are a small portion of the overall giveaway
  3. This event has nothing to do with attracting new players, it's a giveaway for existing players as a thank you for supporting us these past 5 years

SMH at your ridiculous comment.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it has sense to burn all DEC-B we hava managed to acquire? I mean. If I planned getting DEC-B to help my guild, Splinterlands is giving an extra chance of winning something? Take care!

Steem Monsters/Splinterlands was one of my favorite video games for years. I started it with the Beta starter set on 2018.12.30, but I stopped playing it months ago, because the game became too hard to play (for me and for many other people too). And I have not played any video games in the previous one month. But generally I like video games, and I played many video games a lot in the past.

Good luck and have fun to those, who are playing Splinterlands.

Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.

Im not a fan of lotteries tbh. I feel like this isnt really giving back either. I get that the dollar amount in prizes will exceed the amount we probably burn but lotteries never seem like winning opportunities to me. I think I'll take yalls advice about how we dont have to buy everything and skip this anniversary event unless I happen to need to upgrade something in my guild. Maybe a reward for actually playing the game next time??

I was wrong, We burned way more than the price of the prizes and it seems to have brought us together as a community. While I would have loved a special card in the chests that we could only earn for these 30 days I can also admit I was super wrong. Very well done

Players **MAY **earn one item from the list above for EACH 10k points that they earn during the event... ....Players who place on the leaderboard at the end of the event will receive their specified leaderboard prizes as well as having the **CHANCE **to receive the above prizes for each 10k points they have earned

so if i earn 10k points, i will earn a CHANCE to receive an item from the prize pool...

so it's a lottery?

That's a good idea for DEC burning. I hope DEC will be pegged at its core value some day.

If you have dec b and were planning on spending it in a guild anyway like me there is no point not to burn all of it to bad i spend 700K of it the other day now i have 1.5 million to burn oh well at least that will give me a decent chance at a good price worth more than what i spend on it thats for sure and i get the same guild upgrade so hope i win the tract and runis with the 4.5 million ill get or 450 tickets gotta get at least one prize thats worth a decent amount would deff love alpha packs a whole bunch lol and a tract and a runi lol Hope 4.5 million puts me on the leader board at all or just lets me win a few good prizes to make the win multiples of the 500 ish i spent after you apply the discount and cheap price i bought my original dec b at dont think 500 will be hard to make.

GREAT PROMOTIONAL IDEA!

PLEASE CONSIDER DOING AN "SPS BUYBACK" AS THE NEXT PRPOSAL. I AM PROPOSING TO HAVE THE SPS MASTER FUND DO A "SPS BUYBACK" IDENTICAL TO WHAT STOCKS DO IN THE STOCK MARKET WITH "SHARE BUYBACKS". I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE HAVINGT THE MASTER FUND DO AN "SPS BUYBACK" AND THEN RETIRE OR BURN THE SPS. LET ME KNOW WHO TO CONTACT TO SETUP A PROPSAL LIKE THAT.

CAPS ON PURPOSE!
