@everyone
Believe it or not it has been 6 months since we started our journey together. The very first transactions made by what would become affectionately known as the Rent Golem were made on April 13, 2022.
The Rent Golem and this Discord were both publicly launched on April 16th and we’re now up to 2,216 members on Discord and over twice that many rental accounts. I have often said my favorite part of this project is the community of users and the quality of discussions we have on this Discord. Thank you for that!
Now, 6 months later, the Rent Golem is managing over 40% of the rental market in terms of both USD and card volume. This is INCREDIBLE growth far beyond what we hoped for in such a short time. The pace of change has been phenomenal and I wanted to take a moment to outline what all Yixn has been able to accomplish.
Once the Rent Golem was stabilized renting both Modern and Wild Cards (May 19th), Yixn turned his attention to creating tools geared to help those of us managing many accounts. In late May, Fast Sweep and the ability to autoclaim quests and the SPS airdrop brought in lots of new users including many who came for the tools but eventually became Rent Golem users as well.
In Early June, Yixn turned out a couple of tools a week including Reward Lookups (Daily and Seasonal), a Pack Calculator to help us all determine when it was profitable to buy, a ratings graph for our battle history, currency calculators and overall account values all on one overview screen.
During this time we had also been working with the Splinterlands team to get the SPLEX market allowlisted and on June 27th, Yixn published the market with advanced analytics around rental values at different levels and time periods and a cashback program that has proven to be much more rewarding than the leading competitor’s private token.
It was also around this time that we recognized that we had grown beyond just rentals and rebranded as Splinterlands Exchange (SPLEX) to better reflect the breadth of our tools and start to create a hub to support other third party projects.
Our first partnership was with Archmage in early July, where we agreed to provide a market for their tokens and a front end to help streamline their onboarding process. This partnership was highly successful in large part because there are tremendous synergies between our respective user bases. Each project attempts to help players derive yield from their assets in a more hands off way.
After managing some life changes in August, Yixn was able to adjust priorities to make it so that he has been able to focus on SPLEX full time starting in September. This has been extremely apparent by the increased pace of development.
Aside from numerous improvements to the market and other existing tools, we introduced a Referral system in early September and a Riftwatcher pack calculator within a couple of days of the ability to open Riftwatcher packs.
The last few weeks have seen SPLEX add a Missing BCX Buyer to help people complete their desired sets, a Delegation tool to take advantage of a new API introduced by Splinterlands for scholars and bot owners to send staked SPS to other accounts, and Reward Pool Stats to help people determine which league and format are currently the most profitable.
After all of that, we’re ready to announce the biggest new feature SPLEX has seen since the market. I’ll do a separate post to highlight the features, but SPLEX is proud to announce our new Collection Page that solves many of the pain points we continually encountered when trying to use existing solutions.
Thank you so much for those of you who have stuck with us this long (both the service and the length of this post).
Be on the lookout for both the detailed announcement of the Collection Page and an announcement of a Contest and Giveaway to honor our 6 month anniversary.
