As you may have already seen from this recent announcement post from Leo Finance, Splinterlands has built a bridge between the game and the Binance Smart Chain to allow Dark Energy Crystal (DEC) tokens to be transferred between the two platforms. This will work very similarly to how DEC tokens can currently be transferred between the game and the Ethereum blockchain.
Additionally, around 48 hours from the time of the Leo Finance announcement, a DEC-BUSD farming pool will be added to the Cub Defi platform which will allow players to earn CUB tokens by providing liquidity to the pool!
The rewards from this pool will be in CUB tokens and will be redeemed via the Cub Defi platform, not in DEC redeemed through the Splinterlands website as is currently the case for the Uniswap pools. That also means that these rewards are in addition to the existing Uniswap pool rewards and nothing will change with the rewards currently allocated to those pools as a result of the addition of the new pool on Cub Finance.
What is Cub Finance?
Whether or not you intend to participate in the new DEC-BUSD pool, we HIGHLY encourage everyone to check out Cub Finance at https://cubdefi.com and also the Leo Finance community at https://leofinance.io.
Leo Finance is one of the largest and most successful communities on the Hive blockchain and Cub Finance is their latest product (of many) to be released as a new decentralized finance (defi) platform on the Binance Smart Chain.

How to Send DEC to/from the Binance Smart Chain
When the new bridge is released - which is expected to be tomorrow, Thursday, March 18th - players will be able to transfer DEC tokens between the game and their Binance Smart Chain wallet from the Splinterlands game website.
Players will first need to link their Binance Smart Chain wallet address to their game account using the "Link External Wallets" option in the account drop down. Once a wallet address is linked, players can click on their DEC balance at the top of the game website to open the DEC details popup which will show the balance of DEC tokens held in their linked BSC wallet and allow them to transfer tokens between the game and BSC.
Unlike Ethereum, Splinterlands will not charge a fee for transferring DEC tokens from the game to a linked BSC wallet. When transferring into the game from a linked BSC wallet players will be required to pay the gas fees for the transaction on the BSC network, which are typically very small around $0.10.
In order to transfer DEC tokens into the game via the Splinterlands website, players will need to have a web3 enabled wallet installed, unlocked, and pointing to the Binance Smart Chain network. We recommend using the MetaMask browser extension or the built-in crypto wallets extension for the Brave browser.
For instructions on how to install and set up MetaMask (or Brave crypto wallets) with the Binance Smart Chain, please refer to the Cub Finance docs here: https://docs.cubdefi.com/tutorials/how-to-download-and-setup-metamask
Stay tuned for more updates from the Splinterlands!
