If you're not on AI - you're not on internet 👻
Well...... that's actually not right. But there's some truth to it. Some folks use AI as their primary source when searching. Others use AI as extra. When they see lots of info - they ask some AI for a summary 🤖
That's not really fun news for a new Dapp. It takes a lot of time for AI to add new data. So it's got to rely on search to get some info on games like Arcade Colony, Genesis League Goals, Splinterlands & others. 🕹️
Just SEO isn't enough anymore! We've got to learn new tricks to get in people's radar. They're not gonna magically find us. Either we spend millions on ads or we just up our game to get noticed by AI. Since lots of crypto stuff happen around X we need to focus on Grok. It's readily available for X users to dig more info on Dapps 🔍
Arcade Colony X Profile Summary
Basically there weren't enough data for Grok. It couldn't come up with an answer. Even if someone finds Arcade Colony they cannot do easy research. This is some extra friction. Here's a response I got when I kept pushing 👇
I couldn't find any specific information about the X user @arcadecolony
based on recent posts or profile details available to me. It's possible that the account has limited public activity, is private, or hasn't posted recently. If you want me to dig deeper, I can search for any real-time mentions of @arcadecolony
on X or check for related web content. Would you like me to do that, or is there something specific about @arcadecolony
you're looking for (e.g., bio, recent posts, or interactions)?
I asked around more. *Goal: figure out how to get Grok's ** 👀
I've got few prompts and answers in this post. Read them to figure few tricks. Eg: recent posts is needed to summarize X profiles. Even if it's recycled content - Grok might like it. We've got lots of support articles. Use them for posts 🗯️
Prompt: explain post requirements
To summarize an X user profile like @arcadecolony, I need a sufficient number of posts to analyze to provide a meaningful summary. While there's no strict minimum, typically 5-10 recent posts are required to identify patterns, themes, or key details about the user's activity, interests, or content. If the account has fewer posts or they're too sparse (e.g., one-word posts or unrelated content), I can't generate a useful summary. In this case, @arcadecolony doesn't have enough recent or substantial posts for me to analyze effectively. If you want, I can search for specific posts or details about the account, or you can clarify what you're looking for!
GLS X Profile Summary
GLS went a lot smoother. Being older with more content must be a reason. At least it gives a good impression for someone window shopping. There will even be AI agents that depend on summaries like this. 🤖
@GenesisLSports is a vibrant soccer gaming community, hyping up MLS and World Cup action while pioneering web3 with $GLX staking and GLG card mechanics!
GenesisLSports is hyping up Season 2 of Genesis League Goals with thrilling tournaments and epic NFT soccer action! ⚽🏆
The X community is buzzing with excitement for @GenesisLSports, praising their innovative #Play2Earn sports gaming and high APY staking opportunities.
Genesis League has just 1 game so far. It's name is goals. Work is getting done to make a full fledged soccer game out of it. We've got new NFT designs. I feel like GLG team is too small right now. But we can't expand it without revenue. So it's a tough spot to be! We need to play this smart & efficient 🧠

SPL X Profile Summary
7 Years history is huuuge! Splinterlands survived many bears. It peaked in 2022 NFT craze. Splinterlands had more users than any other Dapp. I hear some say this was bots. Like other chains didn't have lots of bots on them 👾
@Splinterlands is an thriving blockchain gaming ecosystem that has been going strong for nearly a decade, empowering players to shape its universe with legendary cards such as Yaba’s Pickle and Conclave Arcana, where tactical gameplay and a strong sense of community are paramount.
Splinterlands is generating a lot of buzz with the release of new cards like Tasoshi and Yaba’s Pickle, igniting intense battles and unpredictable card pulls! 🃏🔥
Fans on X are abuzz with excitement for @Splinterlands, cheering for its engaging updates, legendary card pulls like Yaba's Pickle, and intense tournaments.
Prompt: Explain Yaba’s Pickle
Grok had lots of info. Here's how it started 👇
Yaba’s Pickle is a promotional water element card in the blockchain-based trading card game Splinterlands, introduced as a fun tribute to co-founder @yabapmatt. It’s a 4-mana, common-rarity monster card with distinctive traits, engineered to serve as a tank in battles, especially when combined with the Weapons Training ability. Here’s a comprehensive overview based on available data:
It's all thanks to folks that added the right info to web 2 places AI check. Grok check X. So posting right info to X from many sources help get favorable outcome. If X has right info - X is gonna give it to users. Not saying AI is perfect or uncontrolled by big tech. Just look at what I learned from Grok ⏬
Key Stats and Abilities
- Mana Cost: 4 (affordable, making it adaptable for various deck builds).
- Attack: 0 (no direct melee, magic, or ranged attack, relying on Weapons Training for damage).
- Stats at Level 1: 2 speed, 1 armor, 5 health.
- Stats at Max Level (10): 2 speed, 4 armor, 7 health, with enhanced capabilities.
- Abilities (unlocked as the card levels up):
- Dodge (Level 3): 25% chance to evade melee or ranged attacks.
- Shield (Level 5): Mitigates damage from melee and ranged attacks.
- Slow (Level 8): Reduces the speed of all enemy monsters by 1.
- Self Heal (Level 10): Restores health each round, making it a resilient tank similar to Baakjira but with lower health and common rarity.
I'm still on Explain Yaba’s Pickle. Everything in quotation comes straight from AI. There was hardly any info on Arcade Colony or Genesis League Goals. But look at this analysis 👀
The card’s lack of direct attack makes it perfect for soaking up damage in the front line while supporting other cards with Weapons Training, enabling it to deal damage based on adjacent monsters’ attack stats.
It's good info given to X users. They get educated on game before they even make an account. Isn't that cool. Grok is good enough to give tips on Splinterlands play. 7 years of X activity from tons of users saved the day 😎
Acquisition Methods
Yaba’s Pickle is part of the Conclave Arcana set and is available in three foil types: Regular, Gold (2% drop rate, 4% with Alchemy Potions), and Black (1 in 4,000 drop rate, 1 in 2,000 with Midnight Potions). It can be obtained through a three-phase process:
- SPS Stakeholder Sale:
- Players with staked SPS (Splintershards, the game’s governance token) can buy 1 card per 1,000 SPS staked for 150 DEC (Dark Energy Crystals) or credits.
- A max-level Regular Foil card requires 400 copies, totaling 400,000 staked SPS and 60,000 DEC.
- Eligibility is determined by a snapshot of staked SPS.
- Gold Foil Arcane Raffle (7 days after stakeholder sale):
- Players can purchase raffle tickets (10 vouchers, 200 DEC, 200 Aura per ticket).
- Each ticket guarantees a Regular Foil Yaba’s Pickle and a chance to win one of 50 Gold Foil cards (one per day for 50 days).
- Black Foil Arcane Auction (7 days after raffle ends):
- 20 Black Foil cards are auctioned over 20 days, one per day, using Auction Points (1,000 Aura, 50 vouchers, 500 DEC per point).
- Points used in bids are held in escrow and returned if outbid.
That was a better summary than official announcement! Maybe I say this cause I've already read the full announcement. But I just had a better time reading this part on acquisition. Maybe.... this AI thing is really useful tool 👨💻
Strategic Importance
- Tank Role: With Shield and Self Heal at higher levels, Yaba’s Pickle is a robust front-line tank, absorbing damage and protecting high-damage units.
- Synergy with Weapons Training: Its lack of native attack means pairing it with a summoner or monster that grants Weapons Training (like Zyriel, a multi-element card) maximizes its offensive potential.
Notice this hallucination 🙃😵💫
- SPS Staking Incentive: The card rewards players with substantial SPS stakes, tying its value to the game’s economy and encouraging long-term investment.
Yaba’s Pickle doesn't reward players with substantial SPS stakes. It's actually given as a reward to players with 1K SPS upward. Each 1000 $SPS give eligibility to buy 1 Yaba’s Pickle. That's it!
- Community Appeal: Its quirky theme and connection to @yabapmatt give it a “memecoin-like” status in the NFT world, boosting its collectible appeal.
Community Reactions
Finding stuff like this is way cooler than just browsing to figure what's happening. I don't want to waste too much time outside of web 3. Once micro earnings happen it's hard to look at others ways. What's even more important is freedom to own instead of having at mercy of big tech.
Posts on X show excitement around Yaba’s Pickle, with players like @Web3Lew pulling rare Black Foil versions and @Mickvir2 celebrating Gold Foil pulls. The card’s release on June 24, 2025, sparked enthusiasm for its strategic potential and collectible value, with players appreciating its unique design and the chaotic RNG (random number generator) of foil drops. Some, like @axemaster88, suggested replacing Slow with Martyr for even greater strategic impact.
Economic Factors
- Cost to Max: Achieving a max-level Regular Foil requires 400,000 SPS staked and 60,000 DEC, a significant investment. Players can top up SPS before the snapshot or buy cards on the secondary market.
- Gold Foil Strategy: For Gold Foil cards, using Alchemy Potions increases the drop rate to 4%. For example, buying 865 cards could yield around 32 Gold Foils, enough for two max-level Gold Foil cards (400 copies each).
- Market Dynamics: Cards can be purchased or rented on the Splinterlands marketplace, with values driven by rarity and foil type. Gold and Black Foils are particularly valuable due to their scarcity and battle reward bonuses (10% per promo card played).
Still at the same prompt. This is a gold mine of info with a tiny hallucination. That's not bad at all. X has 550 active users! WE CAN BE ON THEIR RADAR 📡
Lore and Aesthetic
Yaba’s Pickle pays homage to Splinterlands’ co-founder, adding a fun, community-driven element to the game. Its pickle theme fits into the game’s whimsical lore, making it a standout addition to collections. The card’s release is part of the Arcane Event, enhancing its exclusivity and appeal.
Finally we're at end of prompt results. I started with Arcade Colony & GLS. But there was hardly anything in Grok responses I got. What's the lesson we learn?
- More X content
- Timely X content
- More user activity
- Accurate info
All of it is needed to get recommended on X. We can't remain invisible to web 2. Most web 3 users come from web 2. They spend hours in web 2. So we've got to get our AI SEO thing going 💡
I Asked: What are the best web 3 CCG games?
Splinterlands is the only Hive game that made the list. You can play here 👈
If we can do this with 1 game. We can pull it off with 2 more. We've got our lessons learned. Grok will have to notice us more if we do better. Imagine how many people will ask for best web 3 games from Grok 💬
I Asked: What is Arcade Colony And Genesis League Sports
Lucky we have search built in for AI now 🍀
All that stuff written about Arcade Colony and Genesis League Sports helped out. See that Hive logo among 15 web pages. There's Splintertalk links and even official websites linked. SEO improvements did its thing. SEO is a foundation to do AI improvements.
I took all this time to figure out strengths & weaknesses. We're fine when users specifically ask for GLS or Arcade Colony info. Challenge is to get them to ask the right questions in the 1st place. Splinterlands come up when folks ask general web 3 questions. Now we need the same for Invennium games ⚽🚀
