Last year on November 7 I have set a goal of reaching 500,000 staked SPS tokens. At the time I was at 370,650 SPS tokens staked in my account. Fast forward less than seven months and the 500k staked SPS goal is achieved:

In fact it was achieved yesterday, but I had no time for the post yesterday so posting the latest balance today and I am up 521 staked SPS since yesterday.
SPS was trading at $0.0087 at the time compared to $0.0091 currently and it was trading at 0.04695 Hive for SPS token and now it is trading at around 0.038 Hive per token, so in Hive SPS now is a better deal than it was back then. And that is because Hive was at around 19 cents in November:

In dollar value despite dropping recently SPS is still above what it was back in November of 2024 and my overall staked SPS grew from $3,234 to $4,335:

So now that I have achieved my goal of 500K SPS staked, what now? Now I am setting my goal on 1,000,000 SPS staked! How long will it take? I don't know, but after we look at my latest Season Report below I will hopefully be able to make some educated guesses.

Season Summary
Last Season results
| Statistic | Wild | Modern |
|---|---|---|
| Battles | 495 | 8 |
| Rank | 320 | 232 |
| Rating | 4100 - CHAMPION_II | 3080 - DIAMOND_III |
| Rating High | 4160 | 3200 |
| Win PCT (Wins/battles * 100) | 50.71 (251/495) | 12.5 (1/8) |
| Longest Streak | 8 | 1 |
This was the first season where most of my battles were primarily in Wild League. This is due to the fact that Chaos Legion Set was removed from Modern League and most of my cards are in that set. After doing some analysis comparing Modern and Wild SPS earnings I came to conclusion that playing in Wild league is more profitable with my deck at this time.

Earnings Breakdown
| Earnings | # |
|---|---|
| SPS staking reward | 1289.575 |
| SPS validator reward | 355.647 |
| SPS validator block validation | 5646.975 |
| SPS ranked battle (modern) | 13.239 |
| SPS ranked battle (wild) | 1077.727 |
| SPS brawl | 284.685 |
| MERITS brawl prizes | |
| GLINT ranked | |
| GLINT season |
As you can see my main source of SPS earnings continues to be my SPS Validator followed by staked SPS and Ranked SPS earnings.

You can see that I continue following my strategy of purchasing first tier of all Chests followed by buying Legendary Card Draws. Those Legendary draws are quite expensive at 35,000 Glint per Draw so I was not able to purchase all ten draws stopping at six draws.
Legendary reward cards are the only cards I have not maxed out yet.

As you can see jack pot prizes of packs and land plots continue to evade me... Oh well one of these days I will open a chest and get a land plot :)

This season I was lucky enough to earn two Gold Epic cards: Night Reaper! There were also some other gold foils and non-gold foil epics which is always nice.
League rewards

Because I have basically stayed out of Modern format you can see that I earned no Modern League Advancement chests so all of my chests come from the Wild Format

Once again no Jack-Pot prizes for me :(

I opened nine ultimate chests but besides some gold foils no super special cards for me.
So if we total up all of my SPS earnings this season we will get: 8,664 SPS since there are basically two seasons per month it means that I earn around 17,328 SPS per month or 207,936 SPS per year. At this rate it will take me almost five years to get to my next SPS goal. That might be until the next crypto bull cycle.
That sounds like a good long term goal!

Congrats mate, very nice milestone reached, commitment and dedication 💪.
Thank you!
Congrats! I am pretty happy with my 180K or so that I have staked. It took me a long time to earn that. I just wish it was worth what it would have been at launch!
Yeah, it is unlikely it will see those prices of around one dollar, but who knows if we get an altcoin market and a pump in Gaming narrative it might get there. I would be happy with a x30 to 30 cents or so :)
I'd be happy with that too!
wow, this is huge. Congratulations
