Splinterlands KPIs - 12/1/2024

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.

GAME ECONOMY

SPS

DEC & Market Activity

Another good week for crypto markets overall, but a week one for SPS and DEC in comparison, as they pretty much stood still, causing SPS's rank to continue declining.

Market activity, meanwhile, picked up and went over $10k/day for the first time since early October.

DEC burns resumed at their healthy pace of >1M/day burned. SPS burns continue to be slow.

COMPANY SALES

Rebellion packs moved a bit more than last week, showing some signs of life. Highest weekly sales since the week of October 6.

Promo sales were exclusively from the Auction, as the next pair of Legends starts this week. The Auction saw a MASSIVE boost as @cryptomancer, in totally epic fashion, bought the first Gold Foil Heloise for 14M DEC. Incredible. Congrats again man and thank you for giving us these awesome fireworks.

GAME ACTIVITY

We saw a massive increase in daily active accounts (DAA) this week. This wasn't seen in the number of battles, however, so it's hard to say yet what's going on. It's possible these are bot accounts going back online as a result of the recently announced and soon-to-come "Survival Mode", which should give value to large collections of CL and rewards cards that might've just been gathering dust. They may be going online to sell assets as well, as CL pack & card values ramped up this week as folks went to the market to buy cheap CL cards in anticipation of Survival mode. It'll be interesting to see what the Wild Permit sales look like this season - @aftersound would you be able to put those numbers in the comments when you have them?

NEW PLAYERS

I'm going to remain cautiously optimistic on these figures. Daily signups hit a weekly high when looking at the last 3 months, and spellbook purchases matched a high from the week of Oct 6. With that said, these are both still tiny numbers that need to ramp up significantly before they'll have a significant effect on the economy.

COMMUNITY

Very similar to last week. Slow growth on X is nice to see; certainly better than a decline.
