💥 Splinterlands Roadmap 💥
Notes:
- Can also be found on the Docs site (https://docs.splinterlands.com/platform/roadmap)
- Team's goal is to update this roadmap at least monthly
- There are no hard deadlines as the team is agile and always pushing towards getting these big items done
- Each item has a "Mana Cost" which reflects the scope and effort of work
💥 Company Updates 💥
Modern/Wild Updates:
- Most of the code for Modern/Wild is finished
- Ranked Rewards update will be released first though
- Tournament support may not be included in the first phase, but will be included in at least the second phase
- Modern/Wild ranked formats can be toggled with the buttons near the top of the page
- There will be two reward pools: 1 for Modern, 1 for Wild
- Both reward pools will be independent of each other
- So rewards most likely will be different between the two depending on the number of players that play in each format
- The Energy Capture Rate (ECR) will stay as it is
- Any battle between Mordern or Wild will reduce your ECR
- Quests can be completed in either format
- Power requirements will be reduced for Modern; Wild will stay the same
- When Modern/Wild tournament support is released, Reward cards will begin to be used in their appropriate sets for tournaments
Marketing Updates:
- Team is working with Crypto.com to support SPS listing for US residents
- Currently only available for non-US residents
- Currently making Snapchat ads and VR ads
- May be able to open a pack in a VR filter
Creative Team Updates:
- Highest priority item currently is Ranked Rewards
- New animations, art styles, etc...
- Team is also creating mock-ups of Modern/Wild Ranked formats
- Additional work is creating new character art
Tournament/ESports Updates:
- Used to take 3-4 seasons for new spellbook owners to enter into tournaments
- Average is around 2.1 seasons now due to lower requirements and more variety
- Seen large number of first time players in tournaments
- Bronze Blunder from a month ago had around 150 players
- Last Bronze Blunder that ended was around 250 players
- Looking for more player tournament feedback
- Submit via WeardBeard 3 Month Update
General Team Updates:
- Hardpoint & Chatter had some great conversations and experiences at GDC and NFT LA

⚡️ Q&A Summary ⚡️
SPS Validators:
- No new updates to be announced this week, but Aggy is hoping Matt is able to join next week to provide more information on SPS Validators
- Nodes, tokenomics, DAO's, etc...
DEC:
- Once the SPS airdrop completes, Chaos Legion packs will probably be purchasable at a price of 4000 DEC
- Will support DEC to be stable as originally designed
Last Release Update:
- Performance bottlenecks made the system unplayable
- Instead of keeping it unplayable, the team rolled back the changes
- Working on simulating load stress in the QA environments to better test new changes and functionality
- Team is looking to target specific time windows for the Dev team to release updates without interfering with tournaments & brawls
Guild Brawls:
- Guild brawls will receive some love after tournaments are done being worked on
- There are plenty of changes already on the teams backlog to enhance brawls
