Community Proposal #3
The purpose of this proposal is to ensure that new accounts have some starting amount of SPS to help their accounts earn rewards and become established members in the ecosystem. Since moving to a stake-weighted reward system, it is important for the DAO to do our part to assist with the new player experience where possible.
If this proposal passes, the SPS DAO will delegate 100 SPS to all new accounts for a period of 30 days. After the initial 30 day delegation, the SPS loan will be retracted. This gives new players a small boost to earnings for the first month of account ownership.
Author Notes
I would like to encourage the Splinterlands team to consider implementing this via a pop-up message upon signing in with keys for the first time. The message could explain that the SPS DAO would like to offer them this welcome gift to help them start their journey into our ecosystem and briefly explain the benefits of staking SPS. The offer could be accepted or denied by the user.
If making this optional and integrating the notification is not feasible to do in the near term, it would be acceptable to just automatically delegate and then remove the delegation without informing the new users for now, but it's highly encouraged that the team include some form of introduction to SPS in any new player tutorial in the future.
