Alien Worlds Syndicates Updates

In a recent article, we shared the features of Syndicates v1.0 and committed to making releases more frequently to continue evolving the Syndicate experience.

A month has passed since the launch of the Syndicates, and we have been working hard to provide new features and improvements. Read below for a recap of recent updates to Syndicate functionality and the overall user experience.

Features added

  • View Proposals: proposals can now be viewed from the Planetary Details page and the Custodian Center.
  • Confirmation Windows: pop-up windows alert players when performing important Syndicate actions. These actions include – Canceling a Proposal – Staking Tokens – (For new Explorers) Member Terms prompt – Removing a Vote – Resigning Custodianship – Withdrawing Candidacy
  • Vote Decay in Candidate Tables: we added Vote Decay to the Planet Details section of the View Candidate list to give members a better understanding of the candidates’ overall position in an election.
