Access to information is fundamental for any user who intends to delve into a web3 project, knowing the most important indicators, and this is no different in web3 games. Therefore, the HBD Stats website, specifically the SPS tab, has become essential for evaluating key data such as the amount of SPS in Stake and the amount of DEC in Stake in the Lands. Both data points provide rich insights and serve as a bridge for players to seek even more information about the project.
A brief note is that, since web3 projects tend to be highly technological and linked to blockchain technology that records data, it's quite possible, as will be shown below, that the games themselves provide this information to players without a third party needing to compile it. After all, knowing the project's data is necessary to recalculate routes and devise new strategies to improve what's working and fix what's going wrong.
That's why this initiative to start gathering data in one place in the form of graphs is very useful for understanding how the game is performing according to certain metrics, not guesswork, but facts. Among the data that HBD Stats shows are: SPS Supply, SPS Staked, SPS Burned, DEC Supply, DEC Circulating, and DEC Stake on Land. Let's delve deeper into the insights that Splinterlands' Stake data can provide!
I'll be much appreaciated if you Votes, Reblogs or give any Tips. Thanks and have good reading! 🍀
Insights of the SPS Staked
Speaking of Crypto and Tokens, access to the amount of SPS Stake is very important because it shows the amount of project tokens that are somehow locked within the project itself and not readily available in the market to be traded or sold to other users. The more SPS Stake, the better for the project.
It's interesting to note that in the SPS staking quantity chart, it's normal to expect the quantity to always be increasing because SPS staking has a compound interest effect, since a portion of the APR paid for the stake is paid in SPS, which can be staked again, always increasing this quantity until it reaches the token's printing limit, at which point a new methodology has to be implemented.
Knowing that the token has a natural tendency to increase the amount of staking, it's quite curious to observe that the token experienced a very sharp drop at two points. The first was in 2024, around February, when it was approaching 900 million SPS staked and quickly dropped to 700 million. More recently, there was another sharp drop in 2026.
Shortly after hitting the historical high in the amount of SPS tokens staked in January 2026 with almost 1.2 billion, there was an unstake of almost 200 million. Then it started rising again, but very slowly, which could be due to the APR itself, which is paid on top of the 1 billion tokens staked. I believe this unstake is related to the pre-sale of packs that took place in the game, where players used SPS to buy the packs, but I could be wrong.
DEC Staked x Land Demand
Once again, the analysis of the information shows us an interesting insight. Although this graph doesn't have a large sample period, starting in 2024, we can already see that it has remained quite stable around 1.5 billion DEC in stakes on lands. If I'm not mistaken, land owners need to stake a fixed amount of DEC, so why hasn't this number increased? Has the system changed?
