🆕 Delegation V2 Proposal
Last Thursday, we published a new governance proposal: Delegation V2.
Delegation V2 is a significant change to our delegation system that focuses on player ownership and sets up our game economy for long-term sustainability.
You can read the Delegation V2 proposal summary or you can watch Matthew (CMO)’s video in our Discord’s announcement channel.
Proposal voting ends on July 13. You can vote on Snapshot.
🗺 Product Roadmap
Last Friday, we published our Product Roadmap.
This roadmap is a high-level overview of our priorities and development goals for each quarter.
Note: This only shows big-ticket items. The team will continue to ship gameplay improvements, bug fixes, security enhancements, and other updates which aren’t shown on the roadmap.
The roadmap is a living document and will evolve as new insights and priorities emerge. We’ll communicate all roadmap changes to the community.
We’re open to community feedback and encourage discussions within our Discord. We’ll also use future roundtables to discuss the roadmap and our thinking behind it.
🏦 MANA Rewards for ICE-USDC Pool
Our MANA liquidity rewards have been live for the past week and are currently yielding 230%+ APR!
Check out our blog for a full guide on how to stake ICE and earn MANA rewards.
👨💻 SNG Development Progress
We’ve been working through a couple of architectural issues with SNG development — but we’re excited to share that we ran a successful internal test last Thursday!
Here’s a gameplay sneak peek from Miles (CEO):
Leo (Head of Product) will continue to provide updates in our Discord’s development updates channel.
📚 ICE Poker Beginner’s Guide
Web3 adoption starts with educating new users and providing an easy onboarding experience.
That’s why we created the complete ICE Poker Beginner’s Guide with 10 easy-to-follow tutorial videos that walk you through:
How to set up a wallet

🏛 DG Hodler Roundtable

Delegation V2
ICE Poker Mobile and SNG
Marketing updates

💎 ICE Purchase and Burn
Last Tuesday, 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:
💻 Development Focus
This week, the DG team is continuing work on:
ICE Poker SNG
Our QA team is heavily testing and fixing bugs for the Metaverse gameplay to prepare for community testing.
Our initial goal was to launch SNG V1 by July 15th. Our new target is to launch SNG by end of July.
ICE Poker Mobile
We’re fixing bugs found in our second alpha testing session and have begun SNG mobile development.
Here’s a sneak peek of the ICE Poker mobile gameplay:
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.
