Axie Infinity
Axie Infinity is a blockchain-based game where players collect, breed, and battle digital creatures called Axies. The platform utilizes non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to represent unique Axies, which can be traded on an open marketplace. The native token, AXS, gives holders access to governance voting and rewards for staking their tokens.

Technology & Use Case
Axie Infinity runs on Ronin, a sidechain built by Sky Mavis to reduce Ethereum’s high fees. Players use AXS for staking, governance, and in-game rewards. A second token, SLP (Smooth Love Potion), is used for in-game activities like breeding Axies, creating a two-token economy for gameplay and incentives.
Origins & Team
Axie Infinity was developed by Sky Mavis, a Vietnamese studio founded in 2018 by Trung Nguyen, Aleksander Larsen, and Jeffrey Zirlin. Their vision was to blend gaming with blockchain ownership, giving players real control over in-game assets. The project exploded in popularity in 2021, becoming the flagship play-to-earn title.
Ecosystem & Partnerships
At its peak, Axie Infinity had millions of daily active players, especially in Southeast Asia. While its economy later cooled, Sky Mavis continues to build Axie as a gaming platform, expanding with Axie Origins and Axie Homeland. Partnerships with exchanges, NFT marketplaces, and developer grants keep the ecosystem growing.
