As a team, we will make a more concerted effort to give consistent updates on our strategy, roadmap and priorities moving forward.
It’s been awesome to see so many helpful suggestions and governance proposals from the community – thank you all for sharing your thoughts and insight with us. As we move to implement many of these ideas, we wanted to ensure that we don’t make any rash, short-term decisions that can potentially have adverse effects on the long-term sustainability of ICE Poker.
Immediate Actions
Here are some immediate actions we are taking to help stabilize the ICE ecosystem, while we continue to invest in building out additional ICE utility.
Change Activation Fee from DG to ICE
In the last month, 1,842 wearables were activated (for an average of ~61 per day). Assuming this rate and given 2,500 ICE now burned per activation, this change results in an additional ~153k ICE burned per day.
Following this passed governance proposal, we’ve updated the ICE wearable activation fee from DG to ICE.
Minimum 2k ICE to Claim
2 week-long claiming periods are very common in play and earn games. Following this passed governance proposal, we will require folks to accumulate a minimum of 2k ICE before claiming rewards.
This way, the DG community and support staff will be able to remove bad actors more effectively before they are able to extract value from the ecosystem.
Wearables Stacking
Further incentivizing ICE Poker player-owners (players who play with the wearables they own) to stack wearables reduces ICE emission and improves the overall burn-to-earn ratio.
Following this passed governance proposal, we will add higher multipliers for stacking wearables.
💎 DG Website Updates
Treasury Page
We deployed a new and improved DG treasury page, focused on displaying more useful revenue data for the treasury:
💎 ICE Poker Mobile Updates
Wardrobe Experience
We finalized the ICE Poker Mobile wardrobe experience, which allows players to equip wearables before checking in to play. As wearables are the backbone of the ICE Poker economy, it’s imperative that the ICE Poker mobile wardrobe experience is on par with metaverse.
💻 Development Focus
This week, the DG team is continuing work on:
Assigned Seating
We’ve redesigned the assigned seating architecture to scale better with thousands of concurrents in Decentraland, and will be deploying this build to production this week.
Guild Leaderboard/Leagues
We are continuing work on the guild leaderboards and leagues, and will soon be accommodating custom guild uniform purchases in ICE on the ICE Accessories marketplace.
ICE Poker Mobile
We’re continuing development on ICE Poker Mobile, which will enable greater accessibility and exponential scaling as we grow to millions of daily active players. All ICE Poker Mobile mints will be entirely in ICE.
Native NFT Marketplace
We will continue early development of a native Decentral Games NFT Marketplace to support secondary sales of ICE Wearables in ICE and save hundreds of thousands of dollars from leaving the ecosystem in OpenSea fees each month.
ICE Poker Tournament Mode
We’re developing an ICE Poker tournament gameplay mode that allows players to play for a larger prize in wearables/xDG. Wearables will grant a 1 time access to a tournament and wearables would need to be cleaned by burning ICE in order to enter each future tournament.
