Splinterlands’ SPS token will be set up on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) blockchain. The team decided against Ethereum because gas fees on Ethereum became prohibitively high, limiting the number of people who can participate. BSC has fast transaction times and low transaction fees, as well as the function to port smart contracts to Ethereum, making a future move possible.
BSC is secured through the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism. 21 validators are elected every 24 hours to validate transactions and maintain blockchain security. These validators have to stake a certain amount of BNB coins with Binance to be eligible to do so. Holders of SPS tokens will be able to stake their SPS in smart contracts to participate in governance voting.
While the SPS token lives on BSC, the game itself is on the Hive blockchain. Interactions between the two will be handled by oracles, who will be users or entities elected by SPS holders that are tasked with relaying relevant information from the game to the Binance Smart Chain. This is the technically optimal solution to minimize transaction fees while optimizing the gaming experience. In-game-related actions stay on Hive, but conversions to SPS tokens will be relayed by oracles.
