Splinterlands moved on the Hive blockchain in June. This is now the second month for the game on the Hive blockchain! Lets see how things are after the transition is over and everything should be back on track.
All the data presented is collected from the Hive Blockchain.
The following topics will be covered:
- Number of games played
- Number of active players
- New Players
- New Accounts created by Splinterlands
- DEC burned
- DEC Price
- Most active players
Number of games played
Here is the chart of the daily numbers of games played for the last year.
This is quite an increase in the numbers. Its not a usual one. I would like for it to be because of new players and adoption, but I think the main reason is bots. I guess we have more bots now.
Number of active players
This is one of the most important metrics for every dApp, how many active users have there are. Here is a data for daily active users [DAU] and monthly active users as well [MAU]
The number of daily active users is growing at a steady rate as we can see. In May 2019 there were just above 1000 daily active users and in the previous months this number is more than a 2000, reaching almost 3k daily active players in July 2020.
Next, the chart on the monthly active players.
The number of monthly active users have grown from 3000 to a 5000 in the last year. July has more than 5k active accounts, but it has a small drop from June.
Unique Players
Above we have seen the number of active players. Here is the chart on unique players that have played at least one game.
A nice and steady growth here. Note that this is data from May 2019, previous unique players are not taken into consideration. Starting with around 2k and growing all the way to almost 13k unique players till July 2020.
The monthly chart for new unique players looks like this.
Almost 800 new accounts playing for the first time in July 2020. These are new accounts that become active.
Here are the new Hive accounts created by Splinterlands.
More than 1300 new Hive accounts were created by Splinterlands in July 2020. A drop from the record high in June.
If we plot the two charts from above, new unique players VS accounts created we got this.
In June 2019 the number of new players trying the game is actually bigger than the accounts created by Splinterlands. This means at the time the new players were coming from the accounts that already existed. In the last months, the number of new accounts created by Splinterlands is bigger that the new unique players, meaning they are getting players outside the already existing ones on the blockchain.
DEC burned
Another interesting metric is DEC burned. DEC is burned when buying potions, orbs, skins and guilds upgrade.
Here is the chart for the all time DEC burned vs created.
The first few months after DEC was launched in May 2019 are volatile, after some balance seems to be achieved. There is huge spike in DEC burnt with more than 10M in a day on June 27th.
Note that the amount of daily DEC created is also decreasing with time.
The DEC created line above is from the daily DEC inflation that should be just bellow 900k at this moment.
Recently I have looked into the amount of DEC from cards burning and in the last year there was more than 370 million DEC created from burning cards, or on average more than 1M DEC per day.
DEC Price
What about the DEC price?
Here is the chart on all time DEC price in dollars [$].
There was a drop in the DEC price in June, and now we are seeing signs of recovery.
The chart for July 2020, for better visibility.
The DEC price dropped to 0.00035$ and it has recovered to above 0.0005$.
Seeing all the other data going up, but just the price down, it might be a good moment for buying some 😊.
All the best
