I think one of the biggest things I've fallen in love with for Splinterlands would be the fact that there are so many ways to not only be active in the game but also to earn rewards in so many ways.

In this article I'm going to show you all of the way I current earn and play an active part in the games ecosystem. The beauty of it all? You can choose what interest you and what you want to do. For example you might work lands but not battle. Or battle and not work farms so let's dive into it!

Battles

Battles are most likely the first thing that comes to mind for earning rewards. And it is in fact the core of the game. Build a deck and battle it out vs others for your chance at rewards.

These rewards are SPS Governance tokens and also glint which can be traded in for more cards to further build your deck or any number of other things available in the shop at the time.

Staking Rewards

This takes time but it's well worth it IMO. Getting to 1 million staked SPS was a goal of mine which I have now reached and surpassed. This gives me one of the most important things I think which are vouchers. There was a time when vouchers were talked about being removed. But now you can use them for exclusive cards. A nice little touch of some bonus rewards to either sell or continue to build your own deck with exclusive cards that can only be bought with vouchers.

You'll also earn some SPS as well but these staking rewards for SPS are starting to run thin. My hopes are that once SPS runs dry that vouchers will take over for in game exclusives and rewards that keep people wanting to stake their SPS tokens.

Liquidity Rewards

Love defi? Well how about gamefi! Splinterlands offers the ability to earn SPS tokens and some fees for placing your tokens into liquidity pools. But not only that land is becoming a big factor of this and will only balloon once higher versions of land are released.

This will be a great way to earn some extra DEC.

Land

I personally love the land game. A single plot of land might not be earth shattering but having 5 close to each other could net you some nice production value. Right now this is limited to SPS, Research and grain however it's about to explode into stone, iron and wood opening up whole new gameplay. I don't think buildings are coming out in v1.75 but when buildings start to come into play it's only going to make demand for everything run higher.

Right now land is mainly all about SPS rewards and building for the potential future but that future is now coming sooner rather land later. Only a year delayed lol.

Rentals

Yes, you can rent out your cards and your SPS to earn DEC rewards. Land might also be added to this mix at some point which could open up even more ways to build passive income. At the moment SPS and cards are in rather low demand with very high print values. That could however change in the next few months as the large pack of chaos starts to get cycled out. Keep an eye on this one. There was a time during the last bull run where I was making nearly $50/day in rentals!
