Incentivize ICE Poker Guild Owners and Players to Participate in Decentral Games Governance

Background

We currently have 2,733 native ICE Poker guilds that play an important role in acquiring, vetting, and managing our rapidly growing player-base, and 7,473 daily active ICE Poker players that provide player liquidity across our several ICE Poker venues in the metaverse.

Today, a small percentage of the ICE Poker guild owners and players participate in DG governance. As active members in the community, ICE Poker guild owners and players are crucial in the long-term success of Decentral Games and ICE Poker, and the ecosystem will be stronger if they participate in governance.

Proposal

Four initiatives to incentivize ICE Poker guild owners and players to hold xDG and participate in Decentral Games governance:

1. Airdrop 500 xDG per wearable to ICE Poker wearables owners, and 50 xDG to each delegated player

2. Make Premium ICE Poker guild management tools accessible only to ICE Poker guild owners that hold 1k xDG per wearable

3. Create three tiered ICE Poker guild leagues with monthly prizes in xDG

4. Create player leaderboard with monthly prizes in ICE Poker wearables and xDG accessible only to delegated players that hold 100 xDG

1. xDG Airdrop to ICE Poker Wearables Owners and Players

All current ICE Poker wearables holders will be airdropped 500 xDG and all delegated players will be airdropped 50 xDG in order to kickstart the best ecosystem distribution.

The airdrop will be 500 xDG per ICE Poker wearable and 50 xDG per delegated player held at the time of the snapshot. If you hold 12 ICE Poker wearables at the time of the airdrop, you will receive 6,000 xDG.

• Snapshot of wearables and delegated players will be taken at 6pm UTC, Feb 25th
• Airdrop of xDG will happen at 6pm UTC, Feb 28th

2. Premium Guild Management Tools

All ICE Poker guild owners will still have access to the Basic ICE Poker Guild management tools, and there will be a 1k xDG requirement per wearable to gain access to premium ICE Poker Guild management tools.

For example, if a guild has only 2 wearables, they unlock all features with only 2,000 xDG; if a guild has 12 wearables, they must maintain a balance of 12,000 xDG to unlock all features.

Basic ICE Poker Guild Package

• Able to mint during ICE Poker wearables drops (with current 1k xDG requirement)
• Native delegation of ICE wearables
• Trustless daily revenue share and payouts

Premium ICE Poker Guild Package Features available for guilds who meet staking requirement (1k xDG per wearable)

• Delegation dashboard
  • See historical performance per player
  • Delegate and undelegate from the dashboard
  • View historical ICE earnings of your guild
• Ability to name your guild and players
• Access to ICE Poker player lookup tool to allow guild owners to see past performance of a player before delegating (in development)
• Ability to add a manager to your guild who can view your delegation dashboard and make delegations/undelegations on your behalf (in development)

Additional premium features will be developed over time to further improve the ICE Poker guild management experience.

3. ICE Poker Guild Leagues

Based on your guild size and respective xDG stake, your guild can join an ICE Poker league, featuring month-long seasons with prizes distributed in xDG.

To qualify for an ICE Poker league, you must meet the xDG staking requirement at any time during the season.

5k xDG (5+ Players) - Fren League

• 1st place: $2k in xDG
• 2nd place: $1k in xDG
• 3rd place: $500 in xDG
• 4th place: $250 in xDG
• 5th place: $100 in xDG

10k xDG (10+ Players) - Ape League

• 1st place: $5k in xDG
• 2nd place: $2.5k in xDG
• 3rd place: $1.3k in xDG
• 4th place: $700 in xDG
• 5th place: $350 in xDG

25k xDG (25+ Players) - Chad League

• 1st place: $10k in xDG
• 2nd place: $5k in xDG
• 3rd place: $3k in xDG
• 4th place: $1.5k in xDG
• 5th place: $750 in xDG

Note: We will not start distributing prizes until assigned seating is live.

Extra Chad League Feature: Submit name/logo to create custom non-ICE guild wearables (via a template for shirts, polos, jerseys, or hoodies) for 25k ICE, plus 500 ICE per wearable. Guild owners will be able to mint these for their players to wear to represent their guild during gameplay.

Scoring

Each guild will receive a Guild Score calculated by:

Guild score = (net chips)/(number of wearables active)^0.9

Net chips = total net winnings of all the players within your guild within the season time frame Number of wearables active = maximum number of wearables active in your guild at any point during the season

The 5 top scoring guilds of each ICE Poker league will receive xDG prizes claimable at the end of the season.

Rules

• You are removed from the league if you drop below the xDG staking requirement mid-season
• You can join any league mid-season, but you can only join one league per season
• If you join a league mid-season, your Guild Score is only based on the player data after you join

4. Delegated Player Leaderboard with Monthly Prizes in Wearables and xDG

All delegated players who hold 100 xDG will be included on a delegated player leaderboard based on net chips featuring monthly prizes in wearables and xDG:

• 1st place: ICE wearable
• 2nd place: ICE wearable
• 3rd place: ICE wearable
• 4th place: $500 in xDG
• 5th place: $250 in xDG

Rationale

The 500 xDG airdrop per wearable and 50 xDG airdrop per delegated player will reward early ICE Poker guild owners and players, and position the Decentral Games community for growth and highly engaged governance participation going forward.

Premium ICE Poker guild management tools and gamified ICE Poker guild leagues will further incentivize guild owners to hold xDG and actively participate in Decentral Games governance. As owners of several ICE wearables, guild owners will make community decisions that directly impact their livelihood and solidify the long-term sustainability of the ICE Poker ecosystem in which they operate.

A leaderboard with prizes accessible to delegated players who hold 100 xDG will incentivize delegated players to participate in Decentral Games governance and give the top 3 players the opportunity to graduate to player-ownership each month.
