ICE Poker
Last Friday, we hosted the second ICE Poker NFT Mint for the Party Host line, selling out and distributing 500 new ICE Poker NFTs to the Decentral Games community in under 30 minutes. Proceeds from the mint have been added to reinforce the ICE-USDC LP on Quickswap.
Following this distribution, we have since doubled the daily active player count in play-to-earn ICE Poker, and had over 200 concurrent players playing poker and earning ICE in the metaverse:
In order to accommodate the increased demand for ICE Poker, we’ve continued to optimize the ICE Poker Beta gameplay, removing frozen table and ICE challenge logic issues.
Next ICE Poker NFT Mint
Due to the insane demand for the ICE Poker NFTs, we are taking the following steps to deliver a better minting experience for everyone who didn’t get to mint this round:
Increasing both our website server and API hosting capacity.
Increasing our count of Polygon worker addresses that send meta-transactions to the blockchain from 4 to 20.
Moving up the timing of the 3rd drop to ASAP, and will keep the price the same at 0.25 ETH.
Whitelist those addresses that attempted to mint between 6:30pm - 7pm UTC but failed: They’ll have the exclusive ability to mint for the first round of the next drop.

Token Migration
We are on the final steps of testing and receiving audits from the DG token migration contracts:
DG Token Migration Contract (Ethereum Mainnet)
DG Governance V2 Contract (Ethereum Mainnet)
DG Token Swap (Polygon)
The website UI for migrating DG will feature a seamless step-by-step process outlined below:
Misc Dev Updates
Recent development updates that were included in our latest release:
Implemented a new feature to prevent bots that remove players from poker tables (who are idle and let their timer run out)
Fixed bug where the pairs challenge was not being counted properly for the ICE challenges
Optimized logic to prevent tables freezing in ICE Poker
Adjusted ICE values for betting inside the casino, new betting values are 10, 50, 250, 1000
Fixed a bug where players outside the tables were able to take out a player who was waiting to join in the table before their turn started
Updated poker logic ordering in the Poker UI to make sure your own character is always at the top of the UI for better tracking
Resolved a bug that was causing frozen tables in roulette
Resolved a cosmetic number roundup for delegated players who get their first ICE payout after their check-in challenge
Improved backend code to prevent user's negative FREE play balances

🏛 Governance Proposals
Active:
DG-xDG Pool on QuickSwap, which would provide liquidity in DG and xDG on Quickswap to accommodate DG Governance staking on Polygon following the token migration and DG Governance v2 rollout
Matic-DG Pool on QuickSwap, which would allocate MATIC tokens from the Polygon Validator Node stake to the self-provision of liquidity of MATIC and DG in a pool on Quickswap (Polygon)
DG DAO Funding ICE Wearable Submissions, which would allow the treasury to pay the MANA minting fee for ICE Poker wearables submissions
DAO-Funded Uni-v2 ETH-$DG LP, which would allocate funds from the gameplay treasury towards the self-provision of liquidity of DG and ETH on Uniswap to reduce DG emission from LP rewards
Use treasury USD 1.000.000 worth of Matic to buy DG, which would buy DG using MATIC tokens in the Polygon Validator Node
