Media, Pennsylvania (September 21, 2022)- The Splinterlands ($SPS), the global GameFi leader, released its new card pack edition, Riftwatchers, to market on Thursday, September 15th, at 2PM EDT.
In 1 minute and 39 seconds, the company sold out of the 500,000 packs available during their pre-sale. Within hours, Splinterlands community members purchased 30,000 Chaos Legion Packs and 1,300 Validator Node licenses, adding to the excitement of the sale. This marked one of the biggest volume sales days ever for Splinterland
With deflationary mechanisms designed around RiftWatchers and validator node license sales, all $SPS from the sale of both assets were either immediately burned or sent to the SPS Foundation DAO. The results were staggering, with over 25 million $SPS taken out of circulation for good or sent to the DAO and over 650,000 in-game $VOUCHER tokens burned.
During an ongoing bear market in the Web3 space, the remarkable success of the sale stands out and speaks to the Splinterlands community’s strong commitment and loyalty to the game and economy. With the company’s ongoing victories, GameFi is emerging as a serious contender in bringing Web3 technology to mainstream use.
Splinterlands CEO, Jesse “Agrod” Reich, expressed his satisfaction with the sale.
“We know we’ve built a great game here, and our community is passionate about what we’re building in the Web3 space,” Rich said. “But Riftwatchers has been such a huge, rapid success in sales that has exceeded even our wildest expectations.”
“We are delighted,” he continued. “GameFi is here to stay.”
