Splinterlands – The blockchain game where Play2Earn evolved into Play2Grow

As a veteran player in Splinterlands I must say that this amazing Hive blockchain game evolved from Play2Earn to Play2Grow in my vision. In the beginning one might start playing the game just to earn some tokens, but as he expands into the ecosystem and sees the opportunities and potential from here, it makes start to move towards growing and simply accumulating more assets. King of the hill is not happening over night and those with most assets win the game. And the spoils of war from battling into the Splinterlands are somehow direct proportional to the SPS staking, so that provides more incentives for one to want to hold on to their precious assets and simply add on top. Not only that, but also put them at work, either actively or passively through so many games mechanics. The play2grow expands in every corner of the game and that simply brings me more motivation to keep on going and stack up.

Grow the NFT cards stack

Back in the days when Splinterlands saw the light of day and I bought few packs, I only cared about getting more reward cards to have better formations. Over time I realized the real power is in building a solid NFT collection that can be used and adapted to the different gameplay rules. Some of my favorite cards have leveled up over the years becoming stronger and more valuable both in gameplay earnings through additional bonuses and in the market. On the market I missed the peak when I have could sold my collection for a Tesla X, but at least keeping them - I have cards from Beta collection - are helping me earn more from the ranked battles. Consolidating my NFT cards stack simply helps me in battles and I can choose the best cards that finish the job.

Grow the SPS governance holdings

The introduction of SPS changed the way I approached the game and managed the assets. Also on this side I could have sold back in the days when SPS was airdropped for a small car value, but I missed that opportunity as well. For now I am gathering as much SPS that I can from multiple sources like ranked battle, guild brawls, land harvesting and I am staking it all. I feel its price is still undervalued so who knows, maybe at some point market will catch up with it. But until that happens I will simply HODL and STAKE.

Grow the Land resources and production

Land is where I saw Splinterlands take the leap from card battles to something much larger in the shape of a metaverse. I bought 10 plots and I was lucky enough for one of them to be a Keep - which is generating earnings in the form of taxes from my area. I have several plots where I have staked DEC and NFT cards in order to produce resources which I usually trade for others that I don't have. At the moment I try to get resources and materials from all kinds expecting the next stage of land features. In the long run I think this will be the most treasured asset in the game, similar as in real life with the real estate.

Grow as a GameFi investor and player strategist

From the beginning since Splinterlands launched and I've joined, I must confess that I don’t just log in to play, but rather to earn and grow with it. For me the prime incentive for joining the game was the idea of being a stakeholder in it and to earn from it while also having some fun. I like all the financial aspects that were embedded in the game and when a new tokenomics mechanics is implements it brings me excitement to find about it. Maybe that because I finished "Informatics Economics" college and the mystery of making money was always something of interest to me.

As the hype passed in Splinterlands, I like to think that now this ecosystem evolved into one where play2grow is above everything else. Through NFT cards, SPS tokens, plots of land and more, Splinterlands shaped this realm into something unseen until now. This is what makes Splinterlands stand out in the world of blockchain gaming, GameFi and Web3 and the game changed from what I can earn today to what I can build for tomorrow. Sustainability and steady earnings are the name of the game, while hope for better times and improved returns is always there.
