Spot-on in the Splinterlands ecosystem—here's the lowdown on PeakMonsters and its fellow players in the Hive-based NFT marketplace arena. 🚀
🔍 What is PeakMonsters?
PeakMonsters.com is a third-party, community-built platform dedicated to enhancing the Splinterlands gaming experience on the Hive blockchain. While Splinterlands itself is a decentralized, play-to-earn card battle game, PeakMonsters acts as a powerful utility hub—offering advanced tools for trading, deck building, analytics, and now even SPS Foundation voting and SoulKeep card management.
Key features:
- Marketplace analytics: Real-time pricing, burn value tracking, and unbound card stats.
- Deck builders: For both main Splinterlands and SoulKeep modes.
- Land management: Tools to speed up worker clearing on land plots.
- Player dashboards: Track collections, rentals, and account value.
- Governance integration: Now hosts the official SPS Foundation voting interface.
It’s not a standalone game, but a power-up layer for serious Splinterlands players, much like how Bloomberg Terminal serves traders.
