The popular Play-to-Earn, NFT trading card game sees unprecedented real-world adoption, surpassing 286,000 daily users at the time of posting this article.
With a 2.5x growth over the last month and 10x in the past two months, Splinterlands becomes one of the most playable, blockchain-based games in the industry. Players from 142 countries are fighting over 6 million, fast-paced battles per day. In May 2021, Splinterlands had 50,000 daily players.
The growth of Splinterlands has to do with the release of SPS (Splinterland Shards) Token as players earn it through playing and passively based on their cards collection and DEC (Dark Energy Crystals) Tokens.
This explosive growth indicates that non-fungible tokens (NFTs) based games are becoming quite popular and succeeding in drawing in new players globally. Compared to more traditional games, Splinterlands provides the highly engaging, play-to-earn option, which helps with assigning real and organic value to gaming items.
By creating real value, Splinterlands is able to achieve significantly higher retention rates on players. More than 50% of Splinterlands players bought the Summoner’s Spellbook upgrade, which grants users the ability to own their cards in perpetuity and potentially earns rewards while playing.
“It’s been an exceptional journey building our community of 800k registered accounts and 400k spellbook owners. We eat, sleep, and breathe Splinterlands non-stop and constantly think about how do we help our community even more. This is what Splinterlands play to earn is all about and I couldn’t be prouder or happier for our ecosystem that we’re catching fire and the bros are apeing in.
Dr. Jesse “Aggroed” Reich, Splinterlands co-founder and CEO.
