💥 Company Updates 💥
Development Updates:
- Kron job team is working on the following, in order:
- Tech Modernization
- Non-Card Market
- Land
- Tech Modernization is rebasing the code, but with more modern and efficient technology
- Will speed up the process for releasing new features
- Increases performance and scalability
- Since Land is such a big, important feature, the team realized that the technology behind Splinterlands needed to be updated
- Release Priorities:
- Ranked Rewards
- Tech Modernization or Modern/Wild (still TBD on which one goes first)
Tournament/ESports Updates:
- New tournament mode is estimated to be released possibly by end of May
- Planning stage has been complete
- New mode should give tournaments more life and participation
- Modern/Wild tournaments are coming soon too with the Modern/Wild release
- Team is very close to getting tournament sponsors as well
- WeirdBeard will upload a document in Discord that lists all the tournaments, entry fees, and requirements
Warner Music Group Updates:
- Kay and Aggroed are working on the Warner Music Group (WMG) projects
- If the WMG projects are built on Hive, then you can log into all of them through single sign-on (SSO) with your Hive account
- Allows for easy access to existing Hive users
- Increases exposure for Splinterlands with the new artists & newcomers
General Team Updates:
- New VP of Engineering has been hired and is being onboarded currently
- Has a great wealth of experience and knowledge to share with the team
⚡️ Q&A Summary ⚡️
SPS Validators:
- Validators will be a huge step in achieving decentralization
- Meaning, big parts of the game can be voted on by SPS holder
- However, anything that impacts the core business will be handled directly by the Splinterlands team
Guild Brawl Frays:
- Biggest issue with Guild Brawls currently is having guilds plateau
- Most guilds aren't currently moving up to the higher leagues as it may not be worth it
- New Guild Brawl changes are the first step in tackling this issue
- Team will consider reevaluating the Brawl frays
- Lower tiers consist of frays such as Alpha/Beta Only & Gold Foils Only that are difficult for newer guilds to fill
- SPS rewards for Guild Brawls are on the backlog but probably not until after Modern/Wild is released
Ranked Rewards:
- Starter cards will be marked as starter cards when building your lineup during a battle
- This allows players to view what starter cards they own and what starter cards they don't
- Each starter card that you use in a battle and don't own will result in a DEC decrease
- New Reward cards release and distribution have yet to be announced
DEC Lending Contracts:
- Team has thought about building the option to give cards to a smart contract and being able to take out loans agains them
- Integrates more DEFI into the game
Bronze Playstyle:
- The team is fully aware of the difficulty that new players experience when coming into the game
- New team members experience these difficulties all the time directly
- Marketing team and Data Analytics team has been focusing efforts on the lower leagues as well
🔥 EYE CANDY 🔥
Modern/Wild Tournaments

New Game Mode option when creating tournaments
Info buttons are updated accurately to reflect cards allowed
