This is the third edition of my "Splinterlands KPIs" series, for the period of 9/22/2024 to 9/29/2024, where I track several metrics I find important on a weekly basis to see how our beloved game & economy are developing.
For most KPIs, I put a quick visual indicator as follows:
š¢ Good progress
š“ Bad progress
š” Middling
When deltas are shown, they indicate the week-over-week progress.
DISCLAIMER: Please note that I am not affiliated to the Splinterlands company, so these are just my own opinions on KPIs I feel are important and based on data I can find publicly.

DEC & Market Activity
| Date | DEC Price | DEC Supply (Circulating) | Mkt activity (Buy/Sell daily avg) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9/15/2024 | $0.000768 (š¢ +5.67%) | 5,528.66M | $12,541* |

Despite a big pump in Bitcoin this week, there was fairly little movement in SPS & DEC, reinforcing the notion that we're mostly decoupled from the rest of the market...
SPS rank, meanwhile, moved down as other projects more correlated with Bitcoin rose in the ranks.
SPS burn maintained a slow/steady pace, burning another ~160k over the course of the week. DEC, meanwhile, printed an additional ~9M over the week, mainly driven by reward card burning.
Buy/sell market activity was flat, at about $10k/day. It's worth noting that $10k/day is nothing to sneeze at, and would put Splinterlands within the top ~100-150 NFT collections in the world if properly tracked...

COMPANY SALES
| Date | Rebellion packs cumulative | Hall of Legends (DEC spent) |
|---|---|---|
| 9/15/2024 | 943,761 | 72,382,000 |
| 9/22/2024 | 946,246 (š“ +2,485) | 97,972,000 (š¢ +25,590,000) |
| 9/29/2024 | 949,902 (š¢ +3,656) | 113,683,000 (š” +15,711,000) |
Rebellion pack sales picked up a bit, up roughly 50% when looking at daily sales. There are many who expect a rise as we get closer to the end of the sale, though I still think a total sale around 1.2M is most likely here.
As for the Hall of Legend the first set of cards yielded ~113.7M DEC, which is respectable but under the 120M goal. While I realize there are technically 6 promo sales now making the goal 100M, the original objective was 5 promos and I'm maintaining a goal of at least 120M, not to mention that if we "only" recoup the 600M it would be completely breakeven which is not ideal.

GAME ACTIVITY
| Date | Daily Active Accounts (7d average) | Daily Battles (7d average) |
|---|---|---|
| 9/15/2024 | 6,688 | 51,867 |
| 9/22/2024 | 7,040 (š¢ +5.3%) | 56,188 (š¢ +8.3%) |
| 9/29/2024 | 6,683 (š“ -5.1%) | 52,708 (š“ -6.2%) |
Both game activity metrics dropped this week. There should be a small bump in these with the new season starting in less than 48 hours.

NEW PLAYERS
| Date | Account Signups (Daily average) | Spellbook purchases (Daily average) |
|---|---|---|
| 9/15/2024 | 65.3 | 1.3 |
| 9/22/2024 | 74 (š“ +13.1%) | 1.7 (š“ +28.2%) |
| 9/29/2024 | 87 (š“ +17.8%) | 1.3 (š“ -22.9%) |
Still pretty dismal numbers in terms of accounts signups and Spellbook purchases. The marketing machine hasn't begun.

COMMUNITY
| Date | Discord Members (Total) | Twitter Followers (Total) |
|---|---|---|
| 9/15/2024 | 126,294 | 61,366 |
| 9/22/2024 | 126,234 (š“ -60) | 61,392 (š“ +60) |
| 9/29/2024 | 126,152 (š“ -82) | 61,354 (š“ -38) |
We also shed a few followers both in Discord and Twitter. Again, with the marketing efforts not having started it's hard to expect much here and know how to rate it. But what's for sure is that we're not more well known this week than we were last week.
