ICE Poker
In order to meet player demand and continue to grow the ICE Poker ecosystem, we’ve scaled the backend infrastructure to support multiple instances of our socket game server and launched ICE Poker - The Stronghold.
ICE Poker - Stronghold
This new venue boast 10 ICE Poker tables on a 16-parcel Decentraland estate, expanding upon the original 8 Tables in ICE Poker - DEXT Lounge. This allows ICE Poker's ~1,700 daily active users (DAU) to spread out a bit.
Read the official announcement for more information on the newest ICE Poker venue.
Wen 4th ICE Poker NFT Drop?
The 4th ICE Poker NFT drop, Crypto Drip, will be officially announced this week. Like the previous 4 collections, it will be priced at 0.25 WETH on Polygon. To qualify to mint, addresses must have either 1 Old DG staked in Governance V1 or 1,000 xDG (on either Ethereum Mainnet or Polygon). Each Crypto Drip NFT will feature a 250-count instead of 100-count (1,250 total ICE Poker NFTs).
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 three weeks ago, the ICE Poker OpenSea collection has accumulated 589 ETH in total secondary sales, generating 28.861 ETH ($119,773 USD) in royalties for the DG treasury.
DG Token Migration
A week following the 1:1000 DG token migration and Governance V2, ~ 70% of the original DG tokens have been migrated to the new DG (circulating supply: 270,359,307 DG).

Use of Mint Proceeds for Next 2 Drops, which would give the DG Team discretion to use the mint proceeds across the following 4 areas:
ICE-USDC LP
Buying Back ICE in order to burn it
