Splinterlands Town Hall Recap - February 20, 2025
Hey Splinterlands community! Here's a recap of the latest Town Hall, covering some major updates, marketing plans, and what’s ahead for the game.
1. SPS Validators Have Arrived!
One of the biggest announcements was the launch of SPS Validators, marking a massive step toward decentralization.
- SPS Validators are now live, allowing independent validation of all SPS transactions.
- Previously, Splinterlands controlled the SPS token management, but now anyone can run a validator node.
- Services like PeakMonsters will allow players to stake their validator licenses and earn rewards without running their own software.
- This move helps align Splinterlands with true blockchain decentralization and may improve the chances of SPS getting listed on major exchanges in the future.
2. A New Era of Marketing Begins
For years, Splinterlands relied on word-of-mouth and organic crypto hype to attract new players. Now, the team is rolling out its first-ever large-scale marketing campaign, led by Andrew Wall and Not Corrupt Media.
Key Marketing Strategies:
- Branding Upgrade – Splinterlands will refresh its look while keeping its core identity intact.
- Influencer Collaborations – Notable Web3 content creators will showcase Splinterlands to fresh audiences.
- Paid Advertising – Expanding reach beyond organic traffic.
- Revamped Onboarding – New tutorial systems and an irresistible Grand Slam Offer for new players.
- Tournaments & Events – Regular competitions with influencers and community engagement campaigns.
- Expansion to Web2 Gaming – The long-term goal is to bridge mainstream gamers into Web3.
The first major marketing push will align with the launch of Conclave Arcana, the new card set releasing in April (pre-sale) and May (general sale).
