Welcome to the 8th edition of the Decentral Games Newsletter! Our objective is to keep the Decentral Games community informed regarding upcoming events, news, product updates, and governance proposals. If you’re interested in learning more about Decentral Games, join our Discord and follow our Twitter.
Last Week’s Summary
Decentral Games started the week by announcing our first partner casino with video game pioneer Atari! The story was covered in Bloomberg, CoinDesk, CoinTelegraph, Decrypt, TechRadar, and many more top tier news outlets.
This custom casino will launch with a performance from world-renowned DJ Dillon Francis in Vegas City in April, and marks the first of many DG partner casinos to extend our reach to a wider audience. The DG DAO will receive 88% of the profits from the Atari casino.
Continual poker beta testing has provided key feedback to deliver a sleek new winning hand UI, fixed bet/raise/fold button logic, and various other optimizations to the gameplay. Join our #beta-testers Discord channel to continue to test and give valuable feedback!
Treasury Update
Last week, the DAO treasury grew from $3.54 million to $6.25 million USD in digital assets. A gov proposal was recently passed to reduce the Uniswap ETH-DG LP rewards from 700 DG per week to 500 DG per week, which will go into effect on March 16th.
