💰 MANA Incentives for ICE-USDC LP
We appreciate the continued support for our proposal to allocate $1M USD in MANA to incentivize the ICE-USDC QuickSwap LP.
The 2nd stage of the proposal passed:
Yes: 75% — 7,641,299 VP (75 votes)
No: 25% — 2,615,466 VP (28 votes)
We’re now in the 3rd and final stage of the Decentraland DAO proposal process.
We added further details on impact, implementation, and how this proposal benefits both the Decentraland and Decentral Games communities.
Proposal voting ends on June 16th. If you hold MANA or Decentraland LAND, we urge you to vote on this proposal and show your support here.
📱 ICE Poker Go Alpha Test
We’re excited to announce that ICE Poker Go, our new mobile game mode, is ready for alpha testing!
We’ve invited select community members to begin alpha testing on Tuesday.
This is an initial build that needs more work but we wanted to start gathering valuable feedback early in the process.
We'll open up testing to more community members for the beta testing phase. Stay tuned for a beta test sign-up form announcement next week.
🏦 DG Token Allocations
As a part of our continuing efforts to increase transparency and communication with the community, we compiled an overview of:
Token allocation amounts
Allocation schedules
Amounts vested to date
Amounts yet to vest
You can read the full report here.
We’ll continue this transparency with the community by publishing quarterly updates moving forward.
💡 Delegation V2 Proposal
Matthew (CMO) posted a high-level overview of a new delegation system that the team has been working on.
We believe this new delegation system could significantly improve our game economy and help us sustainably scale.
You can watch a video overview or read the full post in the announcements channel of our Discord here.
Note: This isn’t a formal governance proposal yet. We wanted to share our thoughts with the community and get your feedback first.
🆕 Improvements and Bug Fixes
Last Wednesday, our Metaverse team pushed out major improvements and bug fixes.
The 3 biggest changes are:
Open and Close Venues
Multi Tab Fixes
Chip Exploit Fixes
Open and Close Venues
We now have the ability to open and close specific venues.
It doesn’t make sense to have so many open venues with the current amount of daily players.
Our assigned seating feature works better with a concentrated amount of players across fewer venues. Fewer venues will also make collusion more difficult.
We’ve decided to temporarily close our Chateau and DEXT venues. We’ll re-open them when other venues reach capacity.
Multi Tab Issue
We implemented a new solution for stopping multi tabbing that doesn’t cause the big blocking window that was getting stuck for some players.
We’re hoping this new architecture will resolve the majority of multi tab bugs blocking legitimate users from playing.
Chip Exploit Fixes
We fixed some more issues related to chip exploits and players being incorrectly banned.
📰 ONE37pm Feature
ICE Poker was featured in Brycent’s Top 15 NFT Games Right Now on ONE37pm.
You can read the full article here.
💎 ICE Purchase and Burn
Last Monday, we allocated our Polygon validator node rewards and wearable secondary sale royalties to buy and burn 2.4M ICE.
These weekly ICE burns are part of our ongoing efforts to stabilize the ICE ecosystem following the passed governance proposals below:
We’ll continue posting weekly ICE burns in Discord and on Twitter each Monday.
💻 Development Focus
This week, the DG team is continuing work on:
ICE Poker SNG
We are:
Preparing to start internal testing of the Metaverse gameplay
Finalizing the SNG mobile interface to begin development tasks
Check out this video posted by Leo (Head of Product) to get a sneak peek of the experience.
Guild Leaderboard/Leagues
The guild leaderboards are going through final QA testing.
ICE Poker Go (Mobile)
We’re beginning community alpha testing on Tuesday.
We'll open up testing to more community members during the beta testing phase. There will be a beta test sign-up form announced next week.
Product Roadmap
We’re working on finalizing our holistic product roadmap to publish on the Decentral Games website.
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 $21.71M.
