SparkPoint Updates #6: March 2020
Like most of the startups in the world, our team is also affected by the COVID-19 crisis. To mitigate risks, we’ve switched to full remote mode since March 11.
Even though we’re comfortable with a remote setup, our team still prefers working on-premise in our coworking space. We’re looking forward to better days soon. Hope everyone is staying at home safe and healthy.
I’ve removed the “Developer” in the title so I can cover updates outside of development. Here are five updates from our team last month.
1. Launched SparkEarn
We’ve launched our referral program platform, SparkEarn, last March 4. We wanted an easier way for real users to earn crypto while completing simple tasks. Our goal is to lessen cheating and fraud to make the experience more rewarding for everyone. We’ve now sent over 1.5M SRK tokens to 200+ verified users.
2. Burned 500M SRK Tokens
We’ve burned 500M SRK tokens (worth $14,500 as of this writing) last March 21. This is part of our Token Burn and Buy Back Program to promote long-term growth and stability of the SRK token. Total supply of SparkPoint tokens is now down to 14,500,000,000 SRKs.
3. Tournament and SparkEarn Partnership
We’ve opened up our SparkEarn and Crypto Slicer tournament for partnerships. Our first partner and tournament sponsor is FriendsterIO. Tournament starts tomorrow, April 8, 2020! Download Crypto Slicer now!
Prizes include 5M SRK + 2M FSTER for the champion. 3M SRK + 1.4M FSTER for the second place winner. 2M SRK + 1M FSTER for the third place. And 1M SRK + 100k FSTER for the 4th to 10th place. We’ve also added prizes for 11th to 100th ranked players who’ll be receiving 100k SRK each.
4. Game Ads
We’ve updated Crypto Slicer with better ads from AdMob. The performance of the game is not affected and we tried our best not to make the ads too distracting. Players also have the option to disable ads by purchasing the $9.99 All Packs IAP item.
We’re also working to put these game items on the Blockchain via NFTs. Soon players who purchased knives/swords via IAP will be able to redeem them for NFTs that can be traded. Our ad revenue will also be used to buy back SRKs from exchanges. Watch out for the announcement with more details next week, April 16, 2020.
5. Crypto Burst Development
Development of our next game, Crypto Burst, started last month. We switched to Unity from Corona (not the virus!) to develop and reskin the game. We’re looking at launching an early access preview later this month so please watch out for that!
