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
