🏦 MANA Rewards for ICE-USDC Pool
Our Decentraland DAO proposal for $1M USD in MANA to incentivize the ICE-USDC Quickswap pool was passed last week.
Decentraland has transferred the MANA to the DG Treasury and we’re currently setting up our website for the staking rewards.
To be eligible for MANA rewards, you’ll need to:
Stake ICE and USDC in the ICE-USDC Quickswap pool
Stake your ICE-USDC LP tokens on the Decentral Games website
We’re aiming to launch MANA rewards this upcoming week. We’ll post all details and instructions on our website, Twitter, and Discord before then.
🗽 NFT NYC
Some DG team members attended NFT NYC this past week! Miles (CEO) and Matthew (CMO) also spoke at the event.
Here’s a short clip of Miles (or is it Kevin? 😂) speaking on the Interoperable Metaverses panel.
We also hosted a DG Community Meet & Greet at O'Donoghue’s Times Square. It was surreal to finally meet our community members in person.
Thank you to everyone who came. We look forward to hosting more in-person community events in the future 🙂
🖥 Decentraland Mac Desktop Client Beta
Decentraland’s Mac desktop client is now available for beta testing.
The desktop client provides a quicker load time and a much smoother gameplay experience. You can download the beta from GitHub.
🌐 FTX and Coinbase Add Polygon Network Support
Onboarding into the ICE Poker Ecosystem just got easier!
FTX and Coinbase added Polygon network deposits and withdrawals for:
FTX — USDC
Coinbase — USDC, ETH, MATIC
This is a great step towards reducing friction, improving user experience, and onboarding new web3 users.
💎 ICE Purchase and Burn
Last Monday, we allocated our Polygon validator node rewards and wearable secondary sale royalties to buy and burn 9M 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 20.2M 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:
MANA Rewards
We’re setting up the Decentral Games website to launch MANA staking rewards for the ICE-USDC pool on QuickSwap.
We’re aiming to have it live this week. Stay tuned for more details and instructions.
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’ve made a lot of progress fixing bugs and updating ICE Poker Go for our next community alpha test.
We'll start inviting 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.
