About Splinterlands
What is Splinterlands?
Splinterlands is a collectible trading card game in which cards, packs and other assets are blockchain items that players own, trade, rent or burn rather than license from a publisher. The game itself runs on the Hive blockchain, where accounts, card ownership and transfers are recorded on-chain, while its SPS governance token also circulates on other networks including BNB Chain. Cards are organised into sets, and matches are played through the browser client at splinterlands.com against other players' assembled teams.
How to play Splinterlands
Every battle sets a mana cap plus one or more rulesets — modifiers such as Little League, Back To Basics, or the newer Pandamonium, which starts all units in random positions. Players choose a summoner and fill a team of units within that mana budget, then the fight resolves automatically: there is no turn-by-turn input, so team composition and reading the ruleset decide the result. Ranked play is split into two formats, Wild, which permits every card ever released, and Modern, limited to the two most recent sets. New accounts begin in Campaign Mode to earn Foundations cards and unlock Frontier Mode; Modern play and tournaments open after 100 Frontier battles or after buying the $10 Summoner's Spellbook. Battles consume Energy, which regenerates daily and can be topped up with DEC, Glint or Credits.
Splinterlands tokenomics & earning
Two tokens anchor the economy. DEC (Dark Energy Crystals) is the working currency for the shop, marketplace and rentals, and is also what unwanted cards convert into through the burning mechanism, with higher-level, higher-rarity and gold foil cards returning more. SPS (Splintershards) is the governance token: staking it grants votes on proposals and increases battle reward multipliers. Ranked wins pay Glint, spent in the Rewards Shop, along with rating points and staked SPS, and a Modern win yields 50% more Glint than a Wild win. SPS rewards require a Spellbook account, though free accounts can still battle, earn Glint, join guilds and rent cards.
Our verdict
Splinterlands is an auto-battling collectible card game whose economy is the actual product. You pick a summoner and fill a team under a mana cap, then the match resolves on its own — there is no turn-by-turn input, so every decision is made before the fight starts, in reading the ruleset and building around it. That makes it closer to a deckbuilding puzzle than a tactics game, and it is the single fact most likely to decide whether you stay.
What works is the ownership layer: cards, packs and rentals are on-chain assets on Hive, and unwanted cards burn into DEC rather than sitting dead in a collection. Renting also means a competitive team does not require buying one outright. What does not work as well is the on-ramp. Free accounts can battle and earn Glint, but Modern ranked, tournaments and SPS rewards sit behind 100 Frontier battles or a $10 Spellbook, and the split between Wild and Modern formats adds a decision new players are not equipped to make. Note also that the game itself runs on Hive; BNB Chain carries the SPS token, not the gameplay.
It suits card-game players comfortable with market mechanics, not those wanting hands-on combat.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you start playing Splinterlands?
You create an account at splinterlands.com and get a free starter set of cards to learn the basics. To unlock ranked rewards and the full game, you buy the Summoner's Spellbook, a one-time purchase that also activates your in-game wallet and account keys.
How do battles work in Splinterlands?
Each match gives you a mana cap and a set of randomly applied rulesets, and you build a team of one summoner plus up to six monsters within those limits. Combat then plays out automatically with no further input, so all your skill goes into deck selection and unit placement before the fight begins.
How do players earn rewards in Splinterlands?
Winning ranked battles fills a daily focus and season progress that pay out reward chests containing cards, potions, merits, and Glint. You can also earn by renting or selling your cards on the in-game market, since every card is a tradable asset you own.
What are the tokens in Splinterlands?
SPS (Splintershards) is the governance token used for staking, voting, and reward boosts, while DEC (Dark Energy Crystals) is the in-game currency used for purchases and rentals. Both trade on open markets, so their value fluctuates and is not guaranteed.
Is Splinterlands still active and worth playing?
Yes, the game is still live with ongoing ranked seasons, tournaments, and regular card set and gameplay updates from the development team. It rewards strategic deck building, but competitive play generally requires investing in or renting stronger cards, and any earnings depend on volatile token prices.

Questions
What does this score mean?
It is an automated check of the token’s smart contract and of who holds it. It answers one question: could someone mint new tokens, block sales, or suddenly dump a large share on the market? It does not rate the game itself, and it is not a professional security review.
How is the number calculated?
Four parts adding up to 100: code and ownership 30, trading safety 25, holder distribution 25, liquidity 20. A honeypot, or an owner who can change balances, drops the score straight to High risk whatever the rest says.
How do you know who holds the tokens?
From public data, in this order: the verified contract name on the block explorer, whether the token’s own deployer created the contract, ENS names, multisig signer rules, and public exchange labels. Anything we cannot identify is shown as “Unidentified wallet”.
Does an unlocked liquidity pool always mean risk?
Only when a DEX is where the token mainly trades. That is where rug pulls happen: the owner pulls the pool and the price collapses.
What if the game has no token?
Then there is no check on its page. Games without a token, or with NFTs only, lose nothing in ratings or rankings.
