Successful as it already is, Splinterlands again is making a lot of noise in the #gaming #playtoearn and crypto community following the successful launch of the Splintershards (SPS) Token. If you have been playing the game, chances are you also are smiling from ear to ear, enjoying the SPS token airdrop. The airdrop shall be received daily for 365 days based on a user's Splinterlands assets holdings.
The primary goal of the token is to reward Splinterlands players and asset holders, which is why 13.33% of the total token supply is going towards an airdrop which will be conducted over a 12 month period to holders of nearly all types of Splinterlands assets. 1
There was no snapshot taken to determine the airdropped rewards to the users. Instead, SPS tokens will be airdropped to asset holders on a daily basis over a 1-year period.2
One of my regrets, if you'd call it that, is that I did not really play the game in the early stages. Yes, I bought my first packs way back in 2018 when it was launched, but since I cannot understand it, I never played it again until last year.
There's really nothing much I can do now except to keep on doing what I can do to grow my account.
Credits may be used to purchase items in the shop or marketplace. 1000 Credits is valued at $1.00.

The app will prompt you to answer quick surveys that can pay you up to $1 per survey. The amount earned will be added to the Google Play balance which can be used for in-app purchases in the Google Playstore. Below, you will find a screenshot from the app where I have a balance of AED 8.16 ($2.22).
Yey! I have now accumulated enough to be able to try buying some Splinterlands Credits. Let's do this!

If you've been in the cryptospace for some time, chances are you have heard about Electroneum and its free cloud mining on mobile. For quite some time a user could mine tokens but then that was changed last year (or before that) and the cloud mining stopped and now the only way to earn ETN is through their freelancing platform, AnyTask.
I never really bothered with the wallet anymore since they stopped the cloud mining. Then I found Splinterland's Twitter Post where one commented that he had purchased credits using the Electroneum Wallet.
So here's how I did it. (Note: Click on the photos to view larger image.)
1. On the upper right corner of the Splinterlands screen, you will find your available credits, DEC, and SPS. Click on the plus (+) icon. | |
|---|---|
| 2. Specify the amount of credits you wish to purchase and they click the "crypto" button . | |
| 3. Scroll down to find "Electroneum". | |
4. The Payment Page will show you the QR code you can scan, or the wallet address details for manual payment. Go to your Electroneum wallet to complete the payment. Once done, click on the green button - "payment sent" and wait for the transaction to complete. |
One the Electroneum wallet:
Now wait for the payment to be processed on the Electroneum blockchain and received by Splinterlands. While the Electroneum confirmation came about 10 minutes later, the purchased credits took longer to appear.
Nonetheless, the credits are now reflecting in my Splinterlands account, waiting to be spent.
Time to go shopping!
