Splinterlands has been one of the great gifts in the crypto world and a game that I’m happy to play and invest in. It is one of the best crypto games in general and the most used dapp on the Steem blockchain. I have done some posts with data on Splinterlands before:

Now I have decided to compile the data in a more detailed report that I hope to do on regular basis and maybe add some more things on the way.

The following topics will be covered:

  • Number of games played
  • Number of active players
  • New Accounts created by Splinterlands
  • DEC burned
  • DEC Price
  • Most active players

Number of games played

Here is the chart of the daily numbers of games played.

An uptrend can be noticed here 😊. The sharp drop in September is due to the HF21/22 when the blockchain stopped for some time. The data for the above is collected from the Steem blockchain with the query:

SELECT 
tid, 
json_metadata, 
timestamp, 
required_posting_auths, 
required_auths 
 
FROM Txcustoms 
WHERE  
CONVERT(DATE,timestamp) BETWEEN '2019-05-01' AND '2020-03-31' 
AND [tid] in ('sm_team_reveal') 
 

I have looked at the @rafalski web for stats on Splinterlands and there seems to be some differences. Maybe he is using some different method.

Number of active players

This is one of the most important metrics for every dApp, how many active users have there are. Here is a data for daily active users [DAU] and monthly active users as well [MAU]

The number of daily active users is growing at a steady rate as we can see. In May 2019 there were just above 1000 daily active users and in the previous months this number is more than a 2000. Although we can notice a small stagnation in the growth in the last two months.
Next, the chart on the monthly active players.

The number of monthly active users have grown from around 3000 to almost 5000 in January 2020 and have dropped a bit from there to a 4500 in March 2020.

New Accounts created by Splinterlands

New players joining the game is essential.
Here is the chart of the daily accounts created by the @steemmonsters account.

The numbers on daily account created are also growing, although not a clear pattern can be noticed. In the last month on average @steemmonsters have been creating 30 accounts per day.

Here is the monthly chart.

A better overview on account created can be seen from this chart. It is obvious that in the last months, starting from November 2019 more accounts were created. The number have wen up form around 500 in May 2019 to 1500 in January 2020 and back to 1000 account created in March 2020.

DEC burned

Another interesting metric is DEC burned. DEC is burned when buying potions, orbs, skins and guilds upgrade. Here is the chart for the all time DEC burned vs created.

The first few months after DEC was lounched in May 2019 are volatile, after some balance seems to be achieved with more DEC burned at the end of November due to the lounch of the new Untamed edition and end of the presale campaign. After this it seems that DEC is burnt less especially with the introduction of potions and orbs as rewards. Note that the amount of daily DEC created is also decreasing with time.

Here is the monthly chart on DEC burnt vs created.

We can see that the last three months, starting from January there is less DEC burnt.

DEC Price

What about the DEC price?
Here is the chart on DEC price in STEEM.

As mentioned, this is a DEC price in STEEM. We can notice quite a drop in the last period with DEC being traded in the zone between 0.0025 and 0.0030 STEEM. When the HF happened there was also even a bigger drop because of players were getting into STEEM to be airdropped HIVE. The high zone for DEC was more than 0.006 in the period September to November 2019.

As we know the STEEM price is also quite volatile so a dollar [$] price for DEC is something to look at.
Here is the chart on DEC price in dollars [$].

The dollar chart paints a better picture. We can see an overall steady decrease in price from around 0.001 to 0.005 these days. There is no peak in the price in September as from the STEEM chart. We can also notice the sharp drop before the HF happened.

Most active players

Here are the players/accounts that played the highst number of games in March 2020:

More than 2000 games per month played by the most active players.

All the best @dalz
