SPS AIRDROP
The Splintershards Token was recently introduced by Splinterlands as a new governance token meant to increase the decision-making and to reward asset holders of the game. At the time of this writing, the airdrop that will run for the next 12 months is only on it's 33rd day. This almost coincides with the start of my Splinterlands journey.
It's just last week that I found out that the more in-game assets you hold, the higher chances of getting an SPS through the airdrop. I never really gave it a thought as I was just enjoying playing the game. I wish I knew about this when I started as the APR was higher back then. It's still high now at ~161% but it keeps getting lower and lower as more and more players stake their SPS.
There is an available SPS Calculator (https://splintercards.com/tool-sps-airdrop.php) that will help you determine the possible SPS token you might receive with the assets that you have. Me, aside from the cards and DEC that I already have in the game, I converted some of my stablecoins into DEC and connected my Metamask wallet to Splinterlands. Yes, you don't even have to transfer your DEC to Splinterlands. You can just connect your wallet and that will add to your SPS airdrop points. Airdrop is daily so checkout your SPS Management page daily for the SPS you received and I suggest for you to stake it.
Anyway, those who are in the game and also interested to learn about SPS can read their whitepaper here (https://docs.splinterlands.com/splintershards-sps/staking-splintershards)
