💥 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
