Axie Infinity was created in 2018 by the Vietnamese video game developer Sky Mavis. The game contains creatures called “Axies” that the player collects and uses to duel the player and enemies. Each Axie is a non-fungible token or NFT that is minted on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain.

One known way to make money is to buy and sell Axies in the market. Axies come in a variety of rarities, powers, and attributes. Most axes have very weak stats, but a few are very strong and were created through trial and error. These are the most commonly searched. Each Axie can only be bred a certain number of times to control the population, resulting in scarcity.

It takes three digital currencies to grow Axies; Smooth Love Potion (SLP), Axie Infinity Shard (AXS), and Ethereum (ETH), which are used for gas charges. Game Insights from Chill Axie listed the requirement to breed the rare Top Axie as 10,200 SLP ($ 683.90), 1 AXS ($ 137.81), and 0.1813 ETH ($ 823.30). ) for a total cost of $ 1,645.01.

Market data shows that over 2 million Axies have been bought and sold in the past few months – a value of 140,956.7 ETH ($ 639.5 million). The record for the most expensive Axie ever sold was hit last year at 300 ETH, or $ 1,375 million today.

But the earning potential isn’t limited to buying and selling Axies. By completing daily quests, defeating monsters and defeating other players in the arena, the user can get SLP as a reward. You can then sell them on a cryptocurrency exchange. In July, leaked videos showed an entire farm, including smartphones and other electronics, destined for harvesting SLP on the Axie Infinity. Some players have banded together on these farms and see them as an abuse of the game’s monetization game ecosystem.
