Add Utility for Ice Accessories & High Roller Items

Background:

DG launched aesthetic ICE Accessories in their marketplace months ago. There’s an opportunity to add utility to these accessories and High Roller items (crown & scepter) without increasing ICE emissions. (Note, High Roller items will not be limited to this utility)

Adding utility helps incentivize both delegates and owners to burn more ICE through the Accessory Marketplace and further incentivize High Roller item ownership.

Proposal:

ICE Accessories offer additional chips at check-in.

There are currently two Accessory Tiers in the Marketplace:

-Low Tier — 1000 unit items that cost 1,000 ICE -High Tier — 100 unit items that cost 10,000 ICE

An example of how this could work:

-Low Tier accessories give 400 additional chips at check-in (1,000 count) -High Tier accessories give 1,200 additional chips at check-in (100 count) -High Roller accessories give 2,000 additional chips at check-in (Can only be earned by upgrading and owning a complete set)

Note: I’d like to give discretion to the DG team to adjust and balance variables such as accessory mint prices, item tiers, rules, and chip check-in bonuses, based on community feedback.

We’ll also need to implement some rules to prevent abuse:

-Players can only use 1 active accessory when checking in. -Any given accessory may be checked in only once per 24 hour competition. -Transferring and using the item on another address would be blocked by whatever method the DG team chooses to implement.

Rationale:

There are only 400 ICE Accessories minted to date. Creating utility beyond pure cosmetics will increase demand for ICE Accessories — which increases ICE demand and burns more ICE.

Additional utility for High Roller items also further incentivizes owners to upgrade and own a complete Diamond Hand wearable set to get these exclusive items and bonuses.

This type of ICE sink is valuable for the ICE Poker Ecosystem since this burns ICE without increasing ICE emissions and it’s something both delegates and owners would see value in obtaining.

If passed, this proposal is intended to be coupled with the previously approved “Dynamic Chip Allotment”.
