Splinterlands is one of the most popular play-to-earn card games on the market. The Splinterlands team has announced that it is ready to shift to a completely decentralized node structure known as Splintershards (SPS). Delegated proof-of-state (DPoS) consensus will be used in the forthcoming system.
The node validator software for Splinterlands will be 100% open source and distributed for free, but node licenses will be provided on a fee basis for SPS holders.
The new program will be provided as a docker container at first, allowing tech-savvy users to install it on Linux-powered devices. Windows and MacOS versions will be available soon.
Splintershards’ DPoS paradigm will let SPS holders to vote for validator node accounts to elect network members accountable for verifying SPS transactions and maintaining control over SPS foundation money.
The mechanism, which is expected to be live in mainnet in Q3-Q4 2022, would offer a new incentive structure for all Splinterlands ecosystem players.
A mix of SPS tokens and VOUCHER tokens will be used to acquire SPS licenses (a total of 60,000). Then, 80 percent of the SPS tokens spent on licenses and 100 percent of the VOUCHER tokens spent on licenses would be permanently destroyed.
To incentivise SPS node operators, the remaining 20% of SPS tokens will be transferred to the SPS Foundation pool.
