Splinterlands has been trying to go full decentralized for quite some time. There has been certain steps which are being taken and some has been successfully implemented as well. Which would probably make Splinterlands be more user friendly and most importantly there will users who will be able to reap the benefits of these situation if Splinterlands gets fully decentralized.
Let's talk about Licenses. One of the most hyped investments of many users when Splinterlands introduced License to its hub. There were certain speculations being made regarding this phase. I was, like many other players very much excited regarding License. It was as if, this was probably the magical thing which will make Splinterlands go kaboom. But introducing a completely new chain and working with it is a very difficult task. Although, on a recent turn of event, I suppose there has some improvements regarding the License and hopefully we will get something productive apart from just getting some staked rewards and vouchers for the time being.
Node License in Hive-Engine
One can easily save a hefty amount of money if you purchase one License from HIVE-Engine rather than the official website of Splinterlands. At current market price it will cost approximately around $5,000 for a node in SPS. On the other hand it is going for around $200 approximately last traded price in Hive engine. In addition if you notice the number of sales has not been much. But there was a surge in the end of September. As there were few updates being done during that period, which probably caught the attention of users who are into Licenses.
As of today the price has been standing at approximately $200. Couple of sales has been commenced and so far the bidding price is staying at 1028 HIVE and there's a sell order staying at 1474 HIVE. I believe this number will increase as soon as we get an exciting news regarding License from the team. If that happens, I suppose we will notice some good momentum coming into the Licenses.
There has not been much of a incentives for holding Node Licenses in your account atm. At current rate and price one can gain 18 SPS and 2 Vouchers for holding a node license in an account. Which is technically pennies compared to the price of SPS. But once the price of SPS rises in the coming days we will notice the rewards getting bigger and bigger but that will probably take a lot of time considering the price of SPS atm. Also the prime benefit of holding a node License would come from the actual rewards for being a part of ecosystem of Splinterlands once the License goes officially online. Once that happens I suppose every one who is holding a node licenses and running them for Splinterlands will actually reap the benefits of License. Although, if everything goes according to plan I hope Splinterlands will be able to make it a reality pretty soon.
