The popular Pokémon video game series served as inspiration for the blockchain game Axie Infinity. During the game, players can acquire tokens through various means. Since 2017, online games based on NFTs have gained increasing popularity. Axie Infinity enables players to acquire, breed, combat, and trade digital creatures called Axies in a manner reminiscent of games like CryptoKitties.

Axie Infinity features unique Axies, which are NFTs that players can breed to produce offspring or trade on the in-game Axie marketplace. In addition to breeding and trading Axies in Axie Infinity, players can also earn income in the form of two ERC-20 tokens: Axie Infinity Shards (AXS) and Smooth Love Potions (SLP). 

AXS serves as the primary governance mechanism of Axie Infinity, allowing players to have an impact on the platform’s development. 

On the other hand, SLP is earned by playing Axie Infinity and can be used to breed new Axies, which can then be traded in-game for AXS. In this manner, investors who do not wish to play Axie Infinity also can buy and sell both tokens on decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges (DEX). 

In addition to these core functionalities, the developers of Axie Infinity have created new game areas by opening up certain aspects of the Axie universe to community developers. 

With this intention in mind, they aim to foster communities of players who actively contribute to the game universe. This also includes not only earning tokens but also actively participating in shaping the future development of Axie Infinity.

What Makes the Axie Infinity Unique?

Axie Infinity places a significant emphasis on fostering a player community, so this commitment is a key feature of the game. Players actively contribute to shaping the player-driven universe by engaging in the game’s governance and generating their own content.

Through the “play-to-earn” functionality, which is based on the AXS token, so this involvement is becoming more and more included in the game.

Within this decentralized framework, also a Community Treasury accumulates revenue from Axie Infinity and staking rewards players earn. 

Once game governance fully decentralizes, players will actively influence the utilization of Community Treasury funds.
