The Splinterlands team is excited to announce a promotional event to celebrate the upcoming Bitcoin halving! The event is planned to begin on Tuesday, April 16th, 2024 (a few days before the Bitcoin halving is expected) when the game website comes out of its regularly scheduled Tuesday maintenance.
The event is scheduled to run for 15 days and will allow players the opportunity to purchase two new limited-edition promo cards for DEC tokens or Credits with the option to reduce the price (by half, of course) using Vouchers!
Introducing Baron Fyatt & Henchling Enforcer
There will be one Legendary (Baron Fyatt) and one Rare (Henchling Enforcer) promo card offered for sale, both of which are dual-element units with the Halving ability. As limited-edition promo cards, these cards will only be available for purchase during this event, and will not be found in packs. Once the event ends, the cards will only be able to be obtained on the peer-to-peer marketplace from other players.
Baron Fyatt will cost 31,250 (31.25k) DEC/Credits and the Henchling Enforcer will cost 3,125 (3.125k) DEC/Credits for a single (1 BCX) card. The cost is meant to commemorate the new Bitcoin block reward after the halving of 3.125 BTC. Players will also be able to cut the price of both cards in half by burning Voucher tokens along with their purchase! Each Voucher token will reduce the price of the purchase by 50 DEC/Credits with a max Voucher discount of roughly 50%.
Every card purchased will have a 4% chance of being Gold Foil, and players will be guaranteed to receive at least one Gold Foil version of the card for each 25 cards purchased in a single transaction. Please note that it will not be possible to split the cost for a single purchase between DEC and Credits.
Prizes
Additionally, players will earn points for each DEC/Credit spent purchasing the promo cards. Every 10,000 (10k) points earned by a player will give them a chance at winning one of the available prizes, and the players with the most points in total at the end of the event will win the guaranteed leaderboard prizes.
Players will receive 1 point for each DEC/Credit spent but will not receive points for Vouchers applied to gain a discount on the purchase price. There will also be point multipliers to encourage players to participate earlier on in the event and reduce the ability for players to snipe leaderboard spots at the end. This means that on the first day of the event, players will receive a 3x multiplier for leaderboard points when spending tokens, and the multiplier will decrease evenly each day until the last day when players will not receive any points multiplier.
The Splinterlands team is providing the following prizes from its own wallets for the event (nearly $100k worth at current market prices):
- 500 PLOT tokens
- 100 Alpha packs
- 250 Beta packs
- 500 Untamed Packs
- 50 Essence Orb Packs
- 100 Azmare Dice Packs
- 20 Runi NFTs
Players will have the chance to win one of the above prizes for each 10,000 (10k) points they accumulate from purchasing the promo cards during the event. Please keep in mind that there will be a 3x point multiplier on the first day of the event, so purchasing one Rare promo card on the first day for 3,125 DEC will give the purchaser 9,375 points, for example. The multiplier will decrease each day, linearly, until it reaches 1x on the last day of the event.
Leaderboard Prizes
While the prizes listed above will be awarded randomly to players who participate with each 10k worth of points counting as one chance to win, there will also be prizes for the players who accumulate the most points in total over the course of the event. The primary leaderboard prizes will be the following in-game titles:
- 1-10 - "The Burninator" Legendary Title
- 11-60 - "The Incinerator" Epic Title
- 61-200 - "The Scorcher" Rare Title
These are the same titles that were awarded for the first burning event last year and we purposely only gave out a relatively small number of them last year so that we could continue to award them for future events.
In addition to the titles, players in the top 20 leaderboard spots will receive the following guaranteed promo cards in addition to the ones they purchased during the event. Note that players will receive a single card pre-combined to the BCX specified in the table below:
