Splinterlands KPI Review | 11/03/2024
Another week, another edition of the "Splinterlands KPIs" series, where I track several metrics I find important on a weekly basis to see how our beloved game & economy are developing.
For most KPIs, I put a quick visual indicator as follows:
🟢 Good progress
🔴 Bad progress
🟡 Middling
When deltas are shown, they indicate the week-over-week progress.
DISCLAIMER: Please note that I am not affiliated to the Splinterlands company, so these are just my own opinions on KPIs I feel are important and based on data I can find publicly.

The start of Moonvember's been a bit rough for Crypto, and SPS and DEC are feeling it somewhat. SPS maintained in the top 1000 on CMC, which is nice. Burns however fell short compared to previous weeks.
Despite the end-of-season DEC rewards, we still saw ~2M DEC burned over the course of the week, which is a good development.

Rebellion sales are nearly at a standstill right now, with only another 2k packs sold over the week. At this rate, even reaching 1M will be tight.
Promo sales are flat as we wait for the next two promos (the next Hall of Legends pair and the Auction) to start. Expect some fireworks as those get started this coming week.

The DAA jump was a nice surprise. Some of this was probably led by the end of season action, however this is the highest weekly DAA we've seen in >2 months, which is great.
Daily battles were also higher, and also at a high for the last 2 months.
Would be awesome if we could see this trend continue in the coming weeks.

The Community metrics are still slowly going down. Not sure what's going to change the tide on these.

Thanks so weird that follower count is decreasing! How is it even possible that we have more people unfollowing than following?
So my guess is that with increased engagement on our socials we may INITIALLY see a drop, and that's because people who followed long ago and no longer care about Splinterlands unfollow as they start seeing it more in their feed. Over time that stabilizes I assume (if the content we put out is good), but that's my theory for why we could see it drop at first with increased activity.
Well at least that theory makes sense. Thanks for the thoughtful explanation.
Very interesting stats, thank you! I like seeing the dynamics throughout the month. A lot of red in some parts, hopefully community and new players will turn around. It's great to see that quite a bit of DEC and SPS is burned.
