Splintertalk is so much more than it used to be

Have you visited Splintertalk in recent times? There's quite a lot going on there and it really seems like I've been missing out on all the awesome things.

I've focused on the blogging and curation front-end for so long that I didn't even realise that there was a suit of investment opportunities embedded in the front-end.

Trade NFTs

In the front-end, there's a portal that enables you to buy some Splinterlands based NFT art, if you're into that sort of thing.

Personally, I don't necessarily care too much about NFT art but I'll definitely buy a couple of pieces of art there.

Looking at the prices and the fact that I don't have to spend an exorbitant amount on gas fee, it's a really neat way to get into the NFT trade, outside of Splinterlands of course. Technically, it's not even outside Splinterlands but you know what I mean.

There's also a portal that enables you to mint NFTs but that requires validation from NFT marketplace. So, if you're an art creator on Hive, and you'd like to play with Splinterlands based concepts, you might as well take a plunge by getting some of them.

Liquidity pool and trading

Another interesting thing that I never actually looked at is the fact that you can add liquidity to a couple of diesel pools.

At the time of writing, there are pools for SPS/SPT and Oneup/SPT. This portal just focuses on the pools that have to do with SPT token, and that makes sense since you're adding liquidity through Splintertalk.

On top of the pools, there's also an easy route to access SPS tokens, in case you want to convert some of your SPT earnings to SPS. It's a route I'm considering right now because it'll enable me to earn more SPS tokens that I'll stake to earn more vouchers in the daily drop.

I could do it with hive-engine as well but I honestly find that process very tedious and would rather just do it directly on a DEX like this.

Blogging is very lucrative

On top of all these awesome improvements, the classic things are still there and they've been largely improved.

You can still blog on the front-end that's a lot more visually appealing than it used to be. It's a massive upgrade on the way it used to look before, with the boring old steem-esque view.

Also, due to the rise in the value of SPT tokens, blogging on the front-end and using the tag is more lucrative than it has ever been. If you want your publication to show on the front-end, you publish directly or simply add either "spt" or "splinterlands" as one of the tags of your post.

DAO and proposals

Finally, there is also a proposal system that's pretty much a decentralised fund that enables the platform to upgrade.

The stipulated upgrades in the proposal system include one that's requesting for funding for an animation, which is an idea I put forward during one AMA I attended.

I've already thrown my weight behind that aforementioned project and I'll be looking out for other proposals that interest me.

In Summary

These changes have turned Splintertalk into a living and thriving organism. Things are looking very good for the present and the near future.

Naturally, everything hinges on the success of Splinterlands but that's not such a bad thing, considering how well the game has been performing. I'm very excited about the project and will continuously lookout for ways I can contribute to its growth.

Just like everything else #Splinterlands, this just keeps getting better as well. The diesel pools are something I've already been taking advantage of and will continue to do so. Lots of different ways to keep earning and building bags related to the game.

I'm in the swap.hive/DEC, the swap.hive/SIM, and the PIZZA/DEC. Unfortunately the PIZZA/DEC doesn't count for the airdrop but I like getting the UTOPIS so I can't get myself to leave. lol

Holding SIM pays me HIVE every day which I also like so I'm enjoying that one too as I get a little SIM every day added to my stake.

I just did the swap.hive/DEC one a few days ago as I had a little extra of both sitting around so I figured why not. Seems like a no-brainer to keep getting as many VOUCHERs as possible, regardless of whether you actually use them to buy packs.

I'm probably not going to get to a "bonus" level for the promo card so I may end up just selling them in the feeding frenzy I'm sure will come in the last week. I'm actually fine either way. I will be perfectly happy buying the packs if the VOUCHERs don't go crazy in price and I'll be perfectly happy selling them if it does. We'll see...

SplinterTalk really is a high quality prime example of what is possible when you blend gaming, community and social media. I see that thing constantly growing and will continue to grow.

We are seeing massive expansion on many levels. It is exciting to see how things are spreading out. We need a few more breakthroughs and Hive will be operating on a completely different level.

We're at the cusp of something big and it's so nice to be part of the journey.

Play to earn is definitely kicking off and blogging is a viable way to fund your Splinterlands adventure. Even though they increased the barrier to entry to earn DEC (Bronze II or above), I think people can still earn without it. For example, they could pay for the spellbook then partake in the weekly challenges to pay off their initial investment.

Also, you don't even need any major investment to grow. Just keep slugging it out in ranked battles

Yea but there still needs to be a small investment because they changed up rewards system recently. Then again, it just some initial investment until they get enough collection power.
