💥 Company Updates 💥
Development Updates:
- Ranked reward changes are still the highest priority

Tournament/ESports Updates:

- Biggest backend work has been focused on more KYC tournaments
- Prevents multiple accounts and bot accounts
- Looking to announce some big name tournament sponsors soon
General Team Updates:
- Biggest developments being made right now are on the infrastructure of the game
- When Splinterlands was first developed, it was using the languages that Matt knew best
- Now that we have full development teams, the team is working on using the best, most scalable solutions
- Takes a good amount of time to establish across all teams and platforms
⚡️ Q&A Summary ⚡️
SPS Validators:
- Goal is to have a layer one, agnostic blockchain that can be integrated with other chains
- Team things HIVE has the best ability to scale
- HIVE also allows for key recovery unlike most chains
- Team will continue to build on the chain that is best for Splinterlands
Bots:
- "You can't have a decentralized game and a centralized authority determing who can play, and who can't" - Aggroed
- Team understands the current impacts of bots, and are working on things behind the scenes to counter them
- This will be a constant work-in-progress
- There isn't just one solution to get it all right
- Team will continue to push out updates, monitor them, and determine what changes need to be made next
In-Game Communication System:
- Team would like to build a communication system in-game
- However, it isn't a high priority currently with the other projects going on
- Would be beneficial for future game developments to have in-game
Market Transactions:
- There should be some upcoming changes made to help the market issues of buying in the same block
Rebellion:
- Rebellion won't be released until after Chaos Legion sells out
- Team will make sure the deck set is ready to go around the end of this year though
- Packs are the best way to allow new players to enter the ecosystem
