Yabapmatt and TheyCallMeDan on How to Evolve Your Roadmap and Achie...

This clip from LeoFinance's Chain Chatter podcast kicks off with @yabapmatt talking about how he knew Splinterlands was an idea worth pursuing. With that being said, he had no idea what it might turn into. Through dozens and dozens of iterations over the past 4 1/2 years (cannot believe Splinterlands has been around that long!) Splinterlands has constantly evolved and grown into a living organism.

This is one of the beautiful things about building a project from the ground up. When you start getting users and start gaining traction, you start receiving feedback. That feedback becomes a key deciding factor in how you develop toward your 1, 2, 5 and 10+ year vision.

The community is everything. When you start getting that feedback, keep your ear to the ground and always be listening. I love taking this approach with LeoFinance and I think Splinterlands is a glorious example of this being done right at scale.

In this clip, we talk about:

SPL was a good idea immediately, Matt jumped in because he would invest shitons of $ himself
MTGOX (Magic The gathering online exchange)
The gaming industry is highly competitive and the SPL idea sounded like magic
Change is constant
Bring out the project because it's late in the game and leverage users to grow altogether
Benchmark with other game dapps
Validator nodes: Side chain for SPL petty tx
Khal: Building with new tech guarantees chaos, so you gotta build a long term vision and find a community that jumps in
Filter speedbumps from trash, iterations to make it work
Backburner cause it no longer fits the vision or found a better alternative
Go back to the drawing board: is this fulfilling the vision?
Dan: See the mountain you're climbing
Have a plan but be ready for the worst case scenario
10-15yrs: I don't matter, it runs on its own
Set goals and if you can't do it alone, find a team and learn from the experience
See people who can fully have a totally decentralized video ecosystem
Have L2 digital communities: video, short form, written but immutable
