🆕 ICE Poker Flex Updates

On Thursday, we pushed new ICE Poker Flex updates and bug fixes:

Added a new and more exciting animation for placing first place in a tournament. We also added a “Share” button so you can easily share your win.
Fixed a couple of different bugs related to onboarding and checking in that were affecting new players.
Fixed a bunch of gameplay bugs that’ll make the game run smoother.
We’ll now be booting players who are “Away” for too long. If you’re away for 10 minutes consecutively or 20 minutes in total, then you’ll be booted from the table. These time settings are easily adjustable, so please let us know your feedback on this.

The team is also working on adding multi-tabling to let you play multiple tournaments at one time from the same address. It didn’t make it to this update, but it’s being worked on and coming soon.

📊 ICE Poker Flex Stats

On Wednesday, we hit another daily high of 241,500 $ICE burned from community members buying Shine to play in tournaments.

💎 ICE-USDC Liquidity Pool

Following the passed governance proposal, we added 23,171,140 $ICE and 144,065 $USDC to the ICE-USDC liquidity pool on QuickSwap.

We’ll also be allocating future $ICE purchased from Metaverse advertising, Polygon validator node rewards, and secondary sales royalties to further fortify the ICE-USDC liquidity pool.

To learn about the background and rationale, read the governance proposal on Snapshot.
