This week, the Splinterlands team is focusing on brokering the collaboration with Wasder. Wasder is a social app for gamers. The app offers its users the benefit of finding friends to play games with. Today, the new season (battle pass) went live, which will feature a lot of Splinterlands related challenges.
Wasder is a mobile app with 520,000 monthly active users and the core audience is Gen Z. Wasder has a history of converting Web2 to Web3 players and it is hoped that it would catalyze the onboarding of more web2 users to Splinterlands and Hive.
Creating my first post on Wasder was fun and the engagement is awesome so far. Collaborating with Wasder would not only benefit Splinterlands, it would benefit other Hive communities/interfaces through which Splinterlands contents are shared.
