💥 Company Updates 💥
SPS Validator License Sale
- SPS Foundation is starting the License sale on Wednesday, May 25th (Check out the Node Shop page)
- None of the sales is going to the Splinterlands company
- 80% of the SPS is going to be burned, 20% goes to the SPS DAO
- Licenses will be NFTs so they can be transferred like all other assets
- Will be included in the non-card market when released as well
- Will be able to hold multiple licenses under one account and link that account to the licenses
- That way you won't need one account per license
- Goal with SPS Validators is to have all assets (DEC, cards, land, etc..) to be mixed into the validator system
- Outside interest has expressed they'd like to invest $1M+ in Node Validators
- The presale is geared mainly for current players who already own SPS + Vouchers
- Presale will only allow 1 license to be purchased per transaction
- Tranches will allow as many licenses to be bought in one transaction
Development Updates:
- "This is the summer for Splinterlands where we will be dropping things left and right" - Hardpoint
- Land development is progressing
- Ranked Rewards being officially released at the end of this season
- Modern/Wild will start the testing phases shortly after Ranked Rewards are out
- Win-trading solution
- Team automated the process for analyzing patterns between accounts to determine who may be win-trading
- If players are found to be win-trading, they will be grouped together so that they can't be matched together
- Team has had some major wins on server performance
- Team put more rate limiting on servers
- Team also put out some critical fixes out that has helped reduce server costs by 50%
- Means the team has more money to put towards other projects/teams
Creative Updates:
- Betrayer - A Tome of Chaos Story
- Team is busy generating assets for Ranked Rewards V2, Modern/Wild, and Land
Marketing Updates:
- Ads are scaling up with Google, Brave, Snapchat, & YouTube
- Team is attending conferences monthly
- 16bit is attending Permissionless this week
- He will be attending Consenous in two weeks
- Reminder that Splinterfest is officially happening on September 17th & 18th
- Shoutout to NFTy Arcade for helping with new upcoming guild and reward tracking tools + helping more guilds into the game

⚡️ Q&A Summary ⚡️
SPS Validator Nodes:
- Q4 2022 SPS Validators - Mainnet will be live & SPS rewards will begin
- Q1 2023 Splinterlands Validators - When other assets (DEC, cards, land, etc..) will be moved over to the Validator system
Ranked Rewards:
- Ideally, you should be getting roughly the same amount of chests in each league you are in
- If you don't have the levels for higher leagues, you should optimally stay in the league that better suits your levels
- What is being released next week at the end of season isn't going to be the only changes made to Ranked Rewards
- Team will constantly monitor the changes and adjust based on analysis and feedback from community
- Team would like to add a whole bunch of different focuses in the near-future
CL Summoner Airdrops:
- Airdrop rates are set to still be an additional 25 packs for each Summoner released
- These numbers won't change even with more packs being opened recently
Riftwatchers / Vouchers:
- The team will determine how the Riftwatcher sale will be handled once we get closer to the Riftwatchers release
- Anything could change in the few months leading up to the release so the team wants to adjust as they see best
- Generally, vouchers will be required for at least a certain part of the sale
- Still up to debate is whether vouchers will be required for the whole sale or not
Guild Brawls:
- The team did release changes in regards to brawl rewards a few weeks ago
- Team is monitoring the changes and analyze how they affected the economy
- Team is limited in capacity and would love to put more work into Brawls when time allows
Modern/Wild CP Requirements:
- Team doesn't want to increase CP requirements even as more and more cards are released into the economy
- Would make leagues harder for new players overall to climb
- Team will review how the economy and system works once Modern/Wild is live and will adjust as needed after
