💥 Company Updates 💥

Chaos Legion:

• Pre-sale is currently at almost 600k packs sold
• There is not a private sale for Chaos Legion
  • Rather, it is a volume discount for those looking to buy very large amounts
  • These purchases will still need vouchers if they want the bonus packs
  • These purchases also don't have an advantage of buying before anyone else
    • Will need to manually make the purchase once general sale is live within the Shop
  • Basically, they will be worked with one-on-one to make sure their purchase goes successfully

• Packs can be opened officially on December 8th
  • All Chaos Legion cards can be used in ranked and tournaments
• Team does not think Chaos Legion general sale will sell out in 24 hours
• The first few airdrops for the general sale may be adjusted to include anyone who buys within the first 24 hours
  • This is to allow everyone the opportunity to get in on these airdrops
  • Official news on this topic will be posted in the near-future

---

Dev Updates:

• Chaos Legion is still highest priority (launches December 8th)
  • Team is still implementing the stats of cards
• Devs are committed to making the Chaos Legion launch as smooth as possible
  • Trying to anticipate the huge strain on servers and scaling to meet the demand
  • Servers have been in a very stable state for the past couple weeks
• Devs are also actively working on the enhancing the market
  • Problem: Market items showing as available but actually sold
  • Partial Fix last week: warning of problem in real time
  • New Fix: New update will drive down chances that you are buying something that somebody else has already purchased
• First version of SPS Governance
  • Will work similar to delegated PoS like on Hive, EOS, WAX, BSC
  • SPS token holders will be able to vote on Validators
  • Validators will run open-sourced software developed by Splinterlands
  • Splinterlands wallets will be transitioned to multisig wallets
    • Validators will be the signatories on these multisig wallets
  • Main change will be in regards to handling treasury funds
    • SPS token holders can submit proposals and vote on them
    • Validators will sign transaction for the proposal
    • Completely autonomous system and gives SPS community full control
  • Goal is to have this implemented by early next year

Support Updates:

• Tickets are decreasing overall, even though community and game is growing
  • August/September had about 10k tickets per month
  • October had only around 7k tickets
• Week over week, there were over 3 million new sessions on the Splinterlands site
  • 7.8M unique users -> 10.7M unique users (last week)
  • On track to being more than 10.7M unique users this week

---

⚡️ AMA Summary ⚡️

👀 = See Eye Candy!

Chaos Legion 👀:

• Yabapmatt thinks general sale will last months, Aggroed thinks first week
  • Team is not going to change how the sale is going to go
• Starter deck will change when the Chaos Legion is launched
  • Will be Untamed, Chaos Legion, Dice, and Untamed/CL Reward Cards
• Aggroed will put out a post soon about the volume discounts they've been discussing

---

SPS:

• SPS utility is coming
  • Not top priority but still on the team's roadmap
• Those who stake SPS will continue seeing greater earnings

---

DEC:

• If DEC decreases in price, DEC rewards will decrease as well
  • That is why there will be SPS rewards though as well in the future
• Spending credits in game gives DEC more value
• Team is constantly buying DEC every day in order to allow players to buy from the market with credits
  • Sellers receive DEC from sold cards, or rentals, even if bought with credits

---

In-Game Market:

• Team is hoping to implement the in-game market for land, titles, totems, vouchers, etc...
• Goal would be by end of 2021, but not guaranteed

---

Land:

• Probably will leak into Q2 of 2022
• After Chaos Legion, land will take the next top priority
• Team will provide sneak peaks through Q1 of 2022

---

Vouchers:

• The vouchers given out during the presale and post-presale are the same token
• Next voucher airdrop will continue on December 8th
  • Will be 66,666.66 vouchers dropped a day for 30 days
  • After the 30 days, voucher drop will be 20k/day indefinitely

---

Modern/Wild Ranked Formats:

• Won't be released until January 2022 most likely
• Collection power will probably align with the two different formats
  • Example: Alpha card's power won't count towards Modern CP

---
