Development Focus
DG Token Migration
On Thursday, one year following the launch of Decentral Games and the original $DG token on mainnet, we initiated the 1:1000 $DG token split and DG Governance V2.
DG Governance V2 features the auto-accrual of DG rewards through the xDG token, which is transferrable to other blockchains such as Polygon. This way, we can welcome DG Governance v2 positions via a DG/xDG pool on Quickswap.
Read the full blog post here, and migrate your $DG tokens using our seamless step-by-step process here.
ICE Poker
On top of gameplay optimizations, our main focus with ICE Poker last week was to prepare the server architecture to accommodate 5x the amount of daily active and concurrent players within the next two months.
To do so, we’ve prepared several instances of our ICE Poker socket server that will be allocated one per Decentraland realm, and have started development on a second ICE Poker lounge featuring a very low poly, quick-loading structure, located a few parcels east of the current lounge.
Wen 4th ICE Poker NFT Drop?
We plan to announce more details with regards to the upcoming 4th ICE Poker NFT drop featuring our next ICE Poker NFT Line: Crypto Drip in the DG Discord announcements channel by the end of this week!
To purchase an ICE Poker wearable NFT from the secondary market, you can do so via OpenSea.
ICE Poker NFT Royalties from OpenSea
Since going live two weeks ago, the ICE Poker OpenSea collection has accumulated 455 ETH in total secondary sales, generating 22.295 ETH ($92,078 USD) in royalties for the DG treasury.
Events Recap
7 days of DG
Last week, we wrapped up the “7 days of DG” events lineup to celebrate the 1 Year Anniversary of Decentral Games and the launch of DG token, including a $2,500 giveaway poker tournament in Tominoya.
DG Hodler Roundtable
On Thursday, we hosted a DG Hodler Roundtable. DG community members joined the call to reflect on our exponential growth since ICE Poker launch, review key ICE economics metrics, and recap recently live and upcoming ICE Poker features.
If you missed this roundtable, you can watch it on YouTube.
Mutant Ape Yacht Club Event
On Saturday, we hosted a crypto competition and live DJ set with Mutant Cartel, a community with thousands of MAYC members.
The event turnout was great, with over 500 concurrent attendees throughout the event, and Mutant Cartel will be sending out exclusive merch to the winners of the competition next week.
Miles Featured on Gmoney Founder Interview Series
DG founder and project lead Miles was featured on gmoney’s founder interview series to discuss the growth of Decentral Games and ICE Poker. Gmoney has been one of the earliest supporters of DG and has been instrumental in our growth.

Caution: Beware of Phishing

🏛 Governance Proposals
The DG Snapshot dashboard will be updated shortly to allocate votes for both the old DG staked in DG Governance V1 (1,000 votes for each old DG) and the new xDG balance in your wallet (1 vote for each xDG).
Implemented this week:
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)
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
To make a proposal, visit the Decentral Games Snapshot dashboard.
