GM Decentral Games community 👋
This was a historic week with our first biannual ICE Halving event. We also added a new prize up for grabs, published a marketing update, and announced a couple of cool partnerships. Let’s dive in.
💎 The ICE Halving
The ICE Halving is here.
This week, the ICE Halving went live: a biannual event where rewards from ICE Poker’s Challenge Mode are reduced by 50%—establishing $ICE as a scarce digital asset with a finite supply cap.
$ICE’s finite supply cap delivers both a strong new narrative of digital scarcity and ensures long term sustainability.
We expect it to immediately improve the ICE economy by bringing it past a 1:1 burn-to-earn ratio (more $ICE burned than emitted), and it allows us to distribute new sustainable bonus rewards to the community from economic surplus.
To learn more, check out our ICE Halving blog post.
🏆 New Prize Added
We added a new prize to the marketplace. Now you can win $50 in bet credit to use at SX Bet.
Only 100 are available, better snag one before it’s gone!
🏟️ SNG Metaverse Event
We’re throwing a Metaverse SNG event!
Come play the new SNG game mode at the Colosseum, enjoy music, and get a free POAP.
2 random winners will win a DG dad hat! 3 winners win 9 Shine. To learn more, check out the event details.
