The Splinterlands ecosystem is one that transcends the "Blockchain game" tag because it is a lot more than that. There are opportunities for everyone with a computer that's willing to do a few clicks.
For a long time, people have looked at Splinterlands as just a game and because of their lack of ranked battle brawling skills, they've not really participated in the game's activities.
If you take a closer look, you'll find that Splinterlands is more than just a game. It is a game with a variety of investment opportunities that don't require skill in ranked battles.
To put it slightly differently, Splinterlands offers traditional crypto investors an opportunity to get involved in the action through a variety of assets that are constantly generating value.
You can buy assets like packs, monsters, land and a variety of tradable in-game assets that you don't necessarily have to even use for the game. These assets can then be flipped in the way day traders do or just hold long-term and flip in the future when their prices rise.
As the title depicts, there are also a number of liquidity pools that we'll be getting into in a bit. These liquidity pools offer different APRs and are all based on Splinterlands tokens.
Yesterday I announced the end of my ranked battle playing partnership with SEED project. This was not an easy decision but it also effectively halted my participation in ranked battle.
For what it's worth, I have a personal deck of approximately 90K collection power that I currently delegate to my friend. However, I've decided that I'd like to take a long break from battling and look at the other aspects of Splinterlands.
This is why I decided to explore the available liquidity pools in Splinterlands. My funds are very limited but I reckon I should still be able to participate in a couple of the pools.

In Summary
I generally feel more comfortable with using Hive applications so I'll be investing in only the Hive-based pools. Others might see things differently though. I also like the fact that there are minimal transaction fees on hive as compared to Binance Smart Chain and Ethereum.
So, what about you frens? WIll you be investing in any of these pools?
