Based on their contributions to the research, players will receive rewards. Furthermore, by contributing the most to their respective territories, players can earn distinct titles.
To cultivate their land plots, players will be required to stake their Splinterland Cards. Each card that is staked, with a maximum of five cards per plot, will produce production points, the quantity of which will be determined by the card’s rarity, level, and set. Moreover, based on the terrain type and card affinity, players will also receive supplementary bonuses or penalties.

At the outset of the game, players will commence by conducting a land survey, which will unveil the terrain type and any distinctive characteristics of the plot. During this phase, players will also have the option to procure a specialized Starter Package, which will enable them to save time.
The six principal categories of Splinterlands lands are designated as “magic sources.” These magic sources encompass Fire, Water, Earth, Life, Death, and Dragons. Each source is linked to specific factions that determine the summoners and monsters available for gameplay.
All of these mechanics are can be optimized to ensure gamers make the most out of the play-to-earn model that sustains the Splinterlands in-game economy. By participating in gameplay, players can earn monetary rewards.
Initially, players must pay a fee of $10 to access the Summon Book, after which they will gain entry to daily rewards and quests. Certain plots of land will also feature a Keep or Castle, which will serve as marketplaces for the local region and provide the proprietor with a passive income in the form of taxes. In the future, players will likely have the option to lease their land plots.
