In this video, I cover how Splinterlands is now indirectly connected to the Solana blockchain and why that is actually a big deal.
A recent announcement from the Hive Engine team was that they had introduced SWAP.SOL onto the exchange which means you could deposit and withdraw Solana. You can also trade through the Hive Engine and Tribaldex platforms which means that anyone who wants to bring money in from Solana to Splinterlands now has a way to do it.
While it is still relatively early and there isn't much liquidity, I do expect that to change over time as Solana is one of the hottest L1 projects out there with many applications and games being built on top of them - including Parallel Studio's upcoming Parallel Colony AI based simulation game.
Having direct access means we can now direct potential users with assets on Solana to more easily bring in funds to the game. This could be a huge onboarding ramp as Solana is cheaper and faster than ETH and more accessible than BNB in the US.
Of course, bridging SPS directly to Solana would be the best way to go as then users would be able to buy SPS on Solana and connect their wallet to the game but I do not believe that will go live until after validators are up and running which is currently set for January.
Baby steps though and I'd considering this a significant one!

There are so many SWAP option on HIVE-ENGINE. but you're right, SOL is very hot and creating such bridge just brings more options to move in and move out fund. I'm loving how HE is expanding. Good one for splinterlands
SOL is one of my big positions in non-retirement accounts. Would be nice if it was possible to have Splinterlands on Solana as well in addition to bridging the tokens.
I think this is a big move that slipped under the radar/should've had more fanfare from the team
The more networks, the better, and Solana is HUGE for the memecoin community. Maybe we will see people taking profits from Solana and rotate them into small caps like HIVE and SPS.
