🗺 Sit & Go Roadmap
Following community requests for more transparent product development timelines, we’ve put together a step-by-step roadmap for the new Sit & Go Tournament mode.
This roadmap is a high-level overview of:
Timeframes
What work needs to be done
When we’ll invite community members for testing
Our engineering leadership team feels confident about hitting these dates. However, it can be difficult to estimate various software development complexities and this timeline is subject to change. We’ll inform the community throughout the process as we continue building towards our V1 launch.
Within the next 2 weeks, we’ll also publish a full DG Product Roadmap that shows what’s planned for the next 12+ months.
📱 Claim ICE, View Guild on Mobile
To prepare for ICE Poker Mobile, our web team pushed out an update that lets you claim ICE and see your guild performance directly from any mobile browser.
You’ll need to have the MetaMask mobile app installed to connect and sign necessary signatures but you won’t need to use MetaMask’s in-app browser.
Check it out and try claiming ICE from the My Account page on mobile!
🏆 Final Leaderboard
“What was yesterday’s final leaderboard?” is one of the most common questions asked in our Discord — so we added the Final Leaderboard to the ICE Rewards page!
You can now click “See Leaderboard” to see the Final Leaderboard from the last 7 days.
🏛 DG Hodler Round Table
Thank you all who joined the DG Hodler Round Table last Thursday!
If you missed it then you can listen to the recordings here:
(We had two Spaces because the first one crashed)
💰 MANA Incentives for ICE-USDC LP
In our ongoing effort to stabilize the ICE ecosystem, we submitted a Decentraland DAO proposal to allocate $1M of MANA to incentivize the ICE-USDC Quickswap Pool.
This proposal would provide temporary support as we prepare for the launch of Sit & Go Tournaments and other initiatives that add more organic demand and utility for ICE.
The proposal:
Assign $1M USD worth of MANA to provide rewards for the ICE-USDC liquidity pool on QuickSwap. MANA rewards will be distributed over 3 months to those that stake USDC-ICE LP to bootstrap the pool. This support is temporary (3 months) while sit-and-go tournaments are developed, launch (July), and ramp up... 0 MANA will be assigned to the LP that the DG DAO itself provides to the pool (DG DAO won't stake LP), so all rewards will go to these Decentraland community members staking LP.
The Decentraland DAO has a $200M treasury for ecosystem grants. A grant of 0.5% of the fund to a project who has brought over 60% of the daily active traffic to the platform is reasonable.
If you hold MANA or Decentraland LAND, we urge you to vote on this proposal and show your support on the Decentraland community forum.
💎 ICE Purchase and Burn
Following this passed governance proposal, we’ve allocated our Polygon Validator node rewards to buy and burn 1M ICE.
Going forward, we’ll post the weekly ICE burn from Polygon Validator node rewards and secondary marketplace fees in the Discord each Monday.
💻 Development Focus
This week, the DG team is continuing work on:
ICE Poker SNG
We’re continuing development on the backend architecture and front-end UI.
ICE Poker SNG is a new game mode that lets existing wearable holders compete in Sit-n-Go tournaments to earn wearables, accessories, ICE, and xDG prizes.
Check out the video that Leo (Head of Product) posted in our Discord’s development updates channel to get a sneak peek.
Guild Leaderboard/Leagues
The guild leaderboards are going through final QA testing.
ICE Poker Mobile
We’re continuing development on ICE Poker Mobile and are aiming to start alpha testing with community members in the next 1-2 weeks.
Native NFT Marketplace
We’re continuing early development of a native Decentral Games NFT Marketplace.
The marketplace will support secondary sales of wearables in ICE and marketplace fees will be used to burn ICE.
This serves as an additional ICE sink and saves hundreds of thousands of dollars from leaving the ecosystem in OpenSea fees each month.
💰Treasury
The DG Treasury now holds $24.74M.
Weekly Revenue
Decentral Games generated $152,192.04 in revenue last week.
