#### [First SPS Proposal - SPS Governance](https://splinterlands.com/?p=sps_management&tab=proposals)
* The proposal is to split out the ranked battle reward pools for both modern and wild formats by league, similar to the way that the loot chest reward pools for SPS are split by league
* The Splinterlands team believes that this change will help properly align the incentives with the goals of long term growth for the game and the assets, but it is ultimately up to the community of staked SPS token holders to decide
* More details about the proposed change can be found by clicking on the proposal title to view the full proposal post on the Hive blockchain
