#### Cryptoeater - [Aqualis DAO](https://www.aqualis.io/):
* Aqualis DAO is an upcoming DeFi platform on the Ethereum blockchain
* Team plans to integrate on BSC soon after launch
* Aqualis utilizes a unique asset multi-utilization algorithm to dynamically ensure all funds in the ecosystem are used as efficiently as possible
* Allows users to not manually move their funds around while chasing best yield farming rewards
* Phase #1 launch is planned for January
* Phase #1 will include a fully functional stablecoin AMM and lending platform
* Whitelist Sale registration is currently ongoing
* You can find out more by joining the [**Aqualis Discord Server**](https://discord.com/invite/5s7gb76RSB)
* Also, you can find more information on [**PeakD - @aqualis.dao**](https://peakd.com/@aqualis.dao)

-----------------------------------

#### Neal McSpadden - SPS Proposal Discussion:
* **Disclaimer**: Neal is a valued community member; he does not represent the DAO, community, etc
* His feedback is very insightful and valuable as a whole!
* [**SPS Governance Proposal - Adjust Rewards Based on Card Level**](https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@sps.dao/sps-governance-proposal-adjust-rewards-based-on-card-level)
* This has been a four year exploit that was attempted to be fixed by CP
* However, CP didn't solve the issue as players weren't incentivized to level up cards to increase their CP
* Instead, this SPS Proposal is the next step to push players to level up their cards so they aren't playing with extremely low levels in higher leagues
* Neal thinks this is more of a patch rather than a fix
* Main problem lies in the ranking system rather than the earning system
* Modifying the ranking system takes a ton more effort and time so this proposal will act like a temporary band-aid
* Neal and Aggroed are both supporters of this SPS proposal as they believe it should continue to incentivize leveling up cards and competing at higher leagues
