Splinterlands, a crypto-powered card trading game, stood as the most popular decentralized application (DApp) on the Steem network. Now, however, this is no longer the case, as the game has officially migrated over to the rebel fork of the Steem network, Hive<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It should be commented at what strange times these are that this news occurred to begin with<\/p>\n

A Rebellion In Blockchain<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As one would imagine, the number of daily transactions within the Steem network has dropped by a third. Due to this, however, a key event had occurred for the first time in this little rebellion\u2019s history: The Hive Network had managed to overtake Steem in the total amount of transactions.<\/p>\n

Hive stands as a community-run fork of the Steem network, having broken off from the network itself shortly after Justin Sun, the founder of Tron, bought Steemit Inc. Fearing what Sun would do to the network, many opted to create their own network, to begin with.<\/p>\n

Flexing Power Resulting In Loss Of Splinterlands<\/strong><\/h2>\n

However, the nail in the coffin for the Splinterlands move came far later, the migration itself coming as a response to the Steem network\u2019s surprise hard fork<\/a> that was initiated in late May. This hard fork, however, was deployed in order to freeze the tokens of former block validators to Steem. To put it in perspective, Steem was punishing unruly elements within its network, doing so by presumably Sun\u2019s directive.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As a response<\/a>, Splinterlands explained that the game couldn\u2019t stay within a network that holds such a massive, unacceptable risk to itself. Besides the obvious risk of having your entire holdings deleted if the new regime doesn\u2019t agree with you, Splinterlands cited the fact that the changes aren\u2019t public as a key reason, as well. Another reason is\u00a0 the fact that there\u2019s no adequate time given for testing and reviewing the proposed changes.<\/p>\n

Splinterland Move Proves Successful<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On the 2nd of June, 2020, Splinterland announced its successful migration towards the Hive network, encouraging its users to rejoice in the move.<\/p>\n
