I think, a year from now, Splinterlands will be continuing its huge growth. Chaos Legion has released, it's already in Public Sale, in fact, it's probably SOLD OUT.
The whales bought a lot, but during the pre-sale, they sold packs practically at value to reinvest later, and sold cards getting them to the player base successfully. They then reinvested into the general sale, along with many other newer players. Growth continues...
SPS Battles are here, SPS has finished, but the SPS value is just above $2. It got listed on Binance around February. ATH was around $5, during the listing and then it settled back down. We've had some delays still with growing pains largely due to this binance listing, but Land has released and been opened, and we're all waiting for the real release, where it will be functional in-game which will ramp up SPS even more. Riftwatchers is also coming out concurrently, bringing us our first BIG DEC burn since the growth started. Vouchers are still required for RiftWatchers initially.
DEC is accepted at market value across the board, this has made DEC stabilize at about .005, even after the airdrop has ended.
The rental market crashed, and was revamped further to have optional 15 day contracts at a premium. Most new players use these, despite the additional costs. Leaderboards still make end of season rentals very rough.
The market is booming, older cards are appreciating. Alphas are like the 1st Edition of Pokemon, very valuable and rare. People are starting to have a market for these cards again, ironically not to play, but to collect and own.
The team is currently in talk with a big company, and eSports are picking it up. It's also in the top 20 streamed games on Twitch.
