Looking for something to do with your airdropped HIVE and HBD tokens? The Splinterlands team is excited to announce that both HIVE and HBD are now accepted payment methods in the game! They can be used to purchase Credits which can then be used to buy booster packs and potions in the shop as well as cards on the market.
As we announced in this post from shortly before the launch of the Hive blockchain, we were waiting for the HIVE and HBD tokens to establish stable and reliable market pricing before accepting them as payments. That has clearly been achieved at this point, with a number of exchanges listing the token and opening up deposits and withdrawals.
Please note that while Splinterlands now accepts HIVE and HBD tokens for payments, the game is still currently using the Steem blockchain as the chain of record for all in-game transactions. As we mentioned in the above post, we are still evaluating options and will ultimately do whatever is in the best interest of the players and stakeholders.
In the meantime, we are setting up a test site for the game that will run on the Hive blockchain and checking on all of the various tools and services necessary to run the game to ensure that any changes in the future can be done as seamlessly as possible for players.
RPC Node
Additionally, Splinterlands is running an RPC node for the Hive blockchain at https://hived.splinterlands.com. It's a compact broadcast node similar to the Steem version at https://seed.steemmonsters.com, which has provided Splinterlands on the Steem blockchain with a steady, reliable node to use on the Steem blockchain for many months now.
Running our own infrastructure is a critical prerequisite to a potential full transition to Hive in the future, as well as a way to help support the growth of the Hive blockchain in which we are heavily invested.
If you are using the Hive Keychain browser extension, or any other wallet that allows you to choose an RPC node, you can add https://hived.splinterlands.com as a RPC option to read account data and broadcast transactions.
The node is actively managed by @aggroed with support from @someguy123 and @privex.
Stay tuned for more updates from the Splinterlands!

It is seriously a step in th3 right direction and I am guessing it will be about 3 months before you make the jump unless that giant ball of gas Justin does something incredibly stupid to push you off the chain which would not really come as a surprise.
Keep up the good work 🖖👍
Why would Justin Sun push them (one of the most successful Steem dApps) off the chain? But even if Justin Sun push them off the chain, then they would probably migrate to the Hive blockchain, like many other previous Steem dApps done that (without any force, by their own decision), for example dPoll and eSteem.
Justin hasn't done anything sensible so far, so you have to presume he will carry on like that. His ego seems to be huge. Instead of having discussions that could of kept the Steem community together, he trashed his reputation and took several exchanges with him. Will he sit back and watch Splinterlands go in the best way for them and Hive? I'm sure the Splinterlands devs have it under control, whatever he might do.
Tactic comment
Good. What are the specs of a full node?

this is actually pretty cool how fast the developers are all integrating hive into Dapps. Nice work!!
@tipu curate
Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 5/10)
Waiting for peakmonsters to integrate hive into the renting section.
I'm guessing DEC comes first.
But HIVE is a decentralized token at the blockchain level so that is nice... however it's a separate chain so still complicated.
In that case DEC should be the priority for those of us currently not on Steem.
It is a great new for Splinterlands players.
I would like to ask about the new RPC node. Is it working only in hive keychain?
Great news!! Especially the node part, given how steem nodes are functioning nowadays!
Love this!!!!!
Total Awesomeness!!👍💪💯 Upped and resteemed👹👍
:)
Let's go Splinterland! 😁
This is wonderful. Now I have somewhere to dump my tokens.
Happy to trade you steem for hive. 1:1
I'll throw in a couple cards
I'm a still new and learning this. It seems smoother.
Wow great news
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I waited for a post like this to use it as an excuse to start playing the game again :)
That was fast. Everything works awesome job
I really like that. Seems like transition is happening faster as I thought it would...
Waw what a great news 😮😮😯
