Part 6/9:
One of the unique selling points of Splinterlands is its in-game economy. Players earn Dark Energy Crystals, a cryptocurrency linked to the lore of the game, rewarding them for victories. This digital currency has a real-dollar value and can be traded on platforms such as Tron, with future expansions to other exchanges planned. The game boasts a reward pool, distributed daily, ensuring that players gain real monetary benefits from their time spent playing.
As Rosen articulated, while traditional card games allow for friendly competition, Splinterlands presents a chance for monetary gain without a risk of loss. Players do not bet cards or currency against their opponents but rather aim for a share of the game’s overall reward distribution with every win.
