🥳 MANA Proposal Passed
Our Decentraland DAO proposal passed the third and final stage!
Yes: 56% — 6,162,990 VP (151 votes)
No: 44% — 4,952,747 VP (40 votes)
We appreciate all of you for showing your support on Snapshot, Twitter, and the Decentraland community forums.
The proposal will allocate $1M USD in MANA to incentivize the ICE-USDC Quickswap liquidity pool. This helps stabilize our in-game economy as we prepare to launch Sit-n-Go tournaments and other key initiatives that drive organic demand and utility for ICE.
Rewards are anticipated to go live in ~2 weeks. We’ll provide more information as we get closer.
This is a monumental milestone for both the Decentraland and Decentral Games communities. We look forward to continuing to onboard users and helping grow Decentraland.
💳 Mastercard Metaverse Ads
Our first Metaverse ads are now live!
We have teleporters that take you to Mastercard’s Pride Plaza in Decentraland and we’re displaying Mastercard’s ads on our venue billboards
All advertising revenue will be used to buy and burn ICE. This marks our first external ICE sink as all proceeds directly contribute to ICE’s burn-to-earn ratio and our in-game economy.
You can take the teleporter to Mastercard’s Pride Plaza from The Stronghold.
🛠 Assigned Seating Fixes
Last Thursday, we pushed out an Assigned Seating update that resolved issues with assigning players to a full table.
📋 SNG Development Update
Our development team has finished:
Building the backend architecture
Hooking up the front end designs
Designing and deploying a new SNG Colosseum venue
These will now be going through internal QA testing.
After our internal QA test, we’ll start bringing in community members to help test out the check-in flow, waiting room experience, and tournament gameplay.
Our SNG roadmap is slightly delayed as nearly the full team was working on the Assigned Seating issue. The team is now back to focusing on SNG development and we’ll continue to update you on our progress.
🎙 Alpha Afternoons: Future of Web3 Gaming
Ryan (COO) spoke with Alpha Afternoons about Decentral Games and the future of web3 gaming.
You can listen to the full recording on YouTube.
💎 ICE Purchase and Burn
Last Monday, we allocated our Polygon validator node rewards and wearable secondary sale royalties to buy and burn 2M ICE.
These weekly ICE burns are part of our ongoing efforts to stabilize the ICE ecosystem following the passed governance proposals below:
So far we’ve burned a total of 11.2M ICE. 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:
Internally testing the Metaverse gameplay
Starting SNG implementation for ICE Poker Go (mobile)
Aiming to invite community members to test out the check-in flow, waiting room experience, and tournament gameplay
For more info on progress and timelines, you can read Leo’s update in our Discord’s development updates channel.
ICE Poker Go (Mobile)
We’re continuing alpha testing with the community. We'll open up testing to more community members during the beta testing phase.
You can sign up for the beta test through the ICE Poker Mobile waitlist.
Guild Leaderboard/Leagues
The guild leaderboards are going through final QA testing.
Sorry for the delay on these. Our resources have been allocated to higher priority items such as SNG.
Product Roadmap
We’re 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.
