Buy Axie Infinity

Axie Infinity is a blockchain game with its own economy, allowing users to earn money by playing the game. Inspired by Pokémon and Tamagotchi, the game allows players to collect, breed, raise, and battle digital creatures called Axies. Each Axie is a unique non-fungible token (NFT), adding diversity to the game and potentially increasing the value of an Axie.

The play-to-earn (P2E) model is at the heart of Axie Infinity. Players can earn money by playing the game thanks to two Axie Infinity tokens: Axie Infinity Shards (AXS) and Smooth Love Potions (SLP). AXS is the platform’s governance token and is used as currency on the Axie marketplace. SLP tokens are used to breed new Axies. Breeding makes Axies stronger and more valuable. Players can buy, sell, and trade Axies on the Axie marketplace.

In addition to collecting Axies, AXS, and SLP tokens, players can also collect plots of land. These plots of land, called Lunacias, serve as the Axies' home bases. Developers can create unique games on these plots of land using the Lunacia SDK (Software Development Kit).

Who founded Axie Infinity?

Axie Infinity was founded in 2018 by Trung Nguyen and Aleksander Larsen as part of the Vietnamese company Sky Mavis. Trung Nguyen is the CEO and has extensive experience as a software developer before starting Axie Infinity. Aleksander Larsen is the COO and has experience in the gaming industry.

In Axie Infinity, players have several possibilities, including:

• Collecting Axies: Players can collect unique digital creatures as NFT.
• Breeding Axies: Using AXS and SLP tokens, players can breed new Axies and make existing Axies stronger, making each one unique.
• Battle other Axies: Players can enter their Axies into battles and tournaments to earn AXS and SLP tokens.
• Trading: The Axie Marketplace allows players to trade Axies, Lunacia land parcels, and tokens.
• Developing Lunacia Land Plots: Players can purchase, manage, and develop virtual land plots called Lunacias within Axie Infinity.

Each Axie has four stats that are important in combat: Health, Morale, Skill, and Speed. These stats determine, among other things, the damage an Axie can deal or take, as well as who attacks first in combat. There are nine classes of Axies, each with unique strengths and weaknesses.

Additionally, an Axie's body parts affect its combat abilities. Each Axie has six body parts: back, ears, horns, mouth, and tail. Players can breed Axies to create new combinations of these body parts that are potentially more powerful. There is a limit of seven breeding cycles per Axie, and breeding requires AXS and SLP tokens. The genetics of Axies play a significant role in determining the characteristics of new specimens.

Axie Infinity also features rare Axies with unique parts that only appear in the first few units sold during the pre-sale. These Axies are highly sought after and are traded for record amounts on the NFT market.

Technical functioning of Axie Infinity

Axie Infinity uses the Ethereum blockchain and runs on a sidechain called Ronin. This sidechain is designed to avoid Ethereum’s high transaction fees and network congestion, providing players with a faster and cheaper gaming experience. Players can transfer tokens to Ronin via the Ronin Bridge to reduce transaction fees. As a result, Axie Infinity benefits from the security and decentralization of Ethereum, while Ronin offers scalability and ease of use.

NFTs are a key component within Axie Infinity. Each Axie is an NFT and uses the ERC-721 token protocol, making it unique and non-fungible. This allows Axies to be traded and collected within the game.

Smart contracts also play a crucial role in the operation of Axie Infinity, and govern everything from breeding Axies to enforcing the rules during Axie battles.

Axie Infinity uses two tokens that play an important role in the game: Axie Infinity Shards (AXS) and Smooth Love Potions (SLP).

AXS is a governance token that gives holders voting rights on the development and future direction of the game. Additionally, AXS can be used as a means of payment on the Axie marketplace and for staking to generate passive income.

SLP tokens are essential for breeding Axies. Players can earn SLP by winning battles against other Axies and completing missions.

In terms of token supply, AXS has a maximum supply of 270 million, while there is no set maximum for SLP. The number of circulating SLP tokens depends on gaming activity.

Players can earn money by playing Axie Infinity thanks to the AXS and SLP tokens. By participating in battles and tournaments against other players, they can earn AXS. Another way to earn AXS is by using them for staking.

SLP is earned by completing daily missions and battles, and is required to breed Axies. Both AXS and SLP tokens can be traded on various crypto exchanges, allowing players to convert their in-game earnings directly into real money. Axie Infinity’s economic model makes the game attractive to both gamers and investors.

Axie Infinity distinguishes itself by the following features:

• NFT creatures: Each Axie is a unique NFT, meaning no two Axies are the same. This makes Axies unique collectibles.
• Play-to-earn model: Unlike traditional games, Axie Infinity allows players to earn real money by playing. In-game items such as AXS and SLP tokens can be sold on crypto exchanges to receive money instantly.
• Strategic gameplay: Axie Infinity combines strategy and tactics, requiring players to carefully choose and train their Axies for combat.
• Community-driven: Thanks to the AXS tokens, players have the right to vote on the future and development of the platform, making Axie Infinity a community-driven game.
