**Splinterland a blockchain-based game** have been around for quite a couple of years but with the introduction of *SPS** ( the game native token ) and 365 days long airdrop the platform, without doubt, has attracted more users to the gaming platform with its staking features investors get a chance to earn more SPS by locking up liquid SPS these and more are some interesting features that create use case in the game.

I came on board late on Splinterland which means in other to earn more SPS I would be investing more time and effort playing more battles and building up a reputable playing strategy this would be time-consuming I guess for the working class and busy people.

*Buying more DEC ( dark energy crystal ) is one of the incredible ways players can earn more SPS on Splinterland.*

Above is my Splinterland dashboard showing the number of DECs I've held so far while most players earn their DEC through completing quests in a battle some prefer buying directly.

Buying more DECs and holding increase a player's chance of earning more SPS through the current ongoing airdropping process.

**Currently, I earn approximately 1.5 to 2 liquid SPS from the current total number of DECs I'm holding (9,805 DECs ) this means the more DEC players hold the more chance of earning more SPS at the time of writing this article 1 SPS is equivalent to $0.936 this earning will continue none stop till mid or early July 2022.**

**How to buy DEC**
