Axie Infinity is like Pokémon but make it 2023, ya know? 🕹️ It’s built on Ethereum, and it’s like the coolest blockchain-based game out there.
Sky Mavis, this lit Vietnamese dev, dropped Axie Infinity back in 2018. 🤠
The whole vibe is about players vibing with these adorable creatures called Axies — like, you breed 'em, raise 'em, and make 'em throw down in battles. 🐾
It's all about creating the ultimate land-based hangout for your Axies. If you're lacking Axies, just cop some from others on the Axie Infinity Marketplace. 💰
NFT flex? Yup, Axies and virtual land are all sold as NFTs in the game marketplace. 🔥
The spicy diff between this and an OG game? Players collect crypto tokens for leveling up the ecosystem. 💸
This whole new gaming wave is all about that “play to earn” mood. ✨
Basically, in a “play to earn” setup, you can hustle by selling items (shoutout to Axies, in-game real estate, and extras like lamps and barrels) on the Axie Infinity Marketplace while stacking game tokens. 💪
Most of the action happens on Ronin, a sidechain designed by Sky Mavis to clutch those low fees over Ethereum. 🚀
Tokens
Two main tokens headline this game:
- Axie Infinity Shards (AXS)
- Small Love Potion (SLP)
The MVP token, Axie Infinity Shards (AXS), is like your game ticket — it's ERC-20 and capped at 270 mil of these babies. 🎟️
You can flex AXS by playing in the Axie Infinity Universe and dominating those leaderboards. 🏆
AXS is the governance token, so you get a say in future game updates. 🤔
Trade AXS like it’s bitcoin, ether, or Cardano — you get the drill! 💹
The runner-up token, Small Love Potion (SLP), is all about rewarding you for that game grind. 😍
Earn your SLP by KO’ing opponents’ Axies or smashing those game quests. The more you grind, the more SLP you stack. 🎮💰
