Splinterlands Updates
Splinterlands is getting ready to introduce Guild Power, a different kind of "token" for guilds that mostly goes with the contributor, if one is no longer in the guild (90% of the contribution, 10% remains in the guild).
Guild Power is also one of the guaranteed benefits of burning DEC or DEC-B during the anniversary event.
On the Genesis League Goals front, Splinterlands published a post explaining how card leveling and combining will work.
