Axie Infinity AXS

Game ecosystem and governance.

Axie Infinity is a game ecosystem built around digital creatures and related experiences. AXS is its governance and staking token.

What is Axie Infinity?

Axie Infinity includes games and blockchain-based assets. AXS has a governance role and can be staked under the ecosystem’s rules. Owning AXS is different from owning an Axie game asset or playing a particular game.

Game participation does not guarantee income. Asset prices, rewards, and game rules can change, and wallet or contract failures can cause losses.
