In Game Governance

With the release of the Splinterlands' governance token Splintershards (SPS), staked SPS is needed to participate in the In-Game Governance System.

More info about the in-game governance can be found in the SPS Whitepaper 

First Proposal

On August 23rd, 2022 the First Proposal was released allowing players to vote on it. This proposal more details about the system.

Vote Power

Each token of SPS token staked is equivalent to 1 vote, the vote power represents the number of votes that will contribute to the proposal that you are voting on. Your vote power is calculated based on your SPS on stake minus any SPS that is currently being unstaked.

Note: If you want to vote on a proposal and unstake your SPS, make sure you vote first. that way your power counts towards the vote. Once you start the unstaking process your SPS won't be available to be used as vote power until you cancel the unstake

Every proposal has two minimum requirements to pass:

1. 10% of current staked SPS needs to vote.
2. 66% of SPS voting for. 

Note: Minimum requirements were tweaked on the 08/30/2022 Update.
