What Is Axie Infinity? (AXS)

Axie Infinity Explained

Axie Infinity es un juego de cartas por turnos basado en la red Ethereum que permite a los jugadores reproducir, criar, poner a pelar e intercambiar criaturas Axie.

Axie Infinity se describe a sí mismo como un juego inspirado en Pokémon y Tamagotchi que utiliza Tokens no fungibles (NFTs) para representar criaturas únicas, habilidades, terrenos y otros recursos del juego.

Los jugadores pueden ganar dos tokens, Axie Infinity Shards (AXS) y Small Love Potions (SLP), al jugar Axie Infinity en los modos Aventura o Arena. AXS sirve como token de gobierno, lo que permite a los poseedores de tokens votar sobre el desarrollo futuro de la experiencia de juego. SLP es el token del juego que se usa para criar Axies.

Who Created Axie Infinity?

Axie Infinity was founded by Trung Nguyen, the current CEO of Sky Mavis, a Vietnamese gaming studio that is building the Axie Infinity game.

Sky Mavis has gone through several rounds of funding, receiving funds from several notable investors, including Blocktower Capital and Mark Cuban to further develop the Axie Infinity ecosystem.

How Does Axie Infinity Work?

Axie Infinity’s core gameplay focuses on battling and breeding Axies, the unique creatures at the heart of the Axie Infinity experience.

Axies are defined by a specific set of characteristics, such as class and body parts, used to both differentiate them from other Axies and to determine their level of rarity.

Gameplay

Like other turn based games, Axies are meant to battle and their effectiveness in combat is determined by four statistics:

Health determines the amount of damage an Axie can take before being knocked out.
Speed determines turn order, with the fastest Axies attacking first.
Skill adds damage when an Axie plays multiple ability cards at once in a combination.
Morale increases an Axie’s critical strike chance, which determines its ability to knock out an opponent.

Battles

Axie Infinity players face their Axies off against other players in battles of three versus three by using various tactics and strategy to position their Axie on the board. Central to this gameplay is the Axie’s Ability Cards, which determine the attack moves Axies can perform to drain the health of their competitors. Each Ability Card is unique to their respective Axie, as it depends on their individual body configuration and class.

Battling in arena matches and tournaments is the best way to level up Axies and earn Axie Infinity Shards (AXS) and Small Love Potion (SLP). But, players can also take a more adventure-based approach to their experience. By exploring the Axie Infinity world and battling the in-game non-player combatants called Chimera, players earn additional tokens and rare treasures that can be used to progress their characters.

Breeding

Just like their real world counterparts, Axies can create new offspring that have their own unique characteristics and capabilities. Axies can breed up to seven times, with each breeding event requiring more SLP.

After five days of development, new Axie offspring can be used for battle, further breeding with other partners, or put up for sale in the Axie Infinity Marketplace.

Land

Axie Infinity does not limit players to only being able to collect and trade creatures. It also allows players to purchase plots of land that serve as homes for Axies, called Lunacias. Developers will also be able to create unique games within these plots through the Lunacia software development kit.

Players will be able to upgrade the plots over time with the resources and crafted ingredients they find while on in-game adventures.

Axie Infinity Marketplace

The best place to find and access Axies that are available for sale is on the Axie Infinity Marketplace. Here, players can view the Axies that have been listed for sale or those sold to other players most recently. Players can also use the filters within the marketplace to narrow in on Axies that match their desired class, body parts, statistics, price and more.

Players can purchase Axies through their Ronin Wallet, the purpose-built cryptocurrency wallet Sky Mavis created for Axie Infinity. Players can fund their wallet with ETH that they can purchase from an exchange like Kraken.

Ronin Sidechain

Axie Infinity has found that their users’ experience can grind to a halt under high network congestion and gas fees on the Ethereum blockchain. In 2020, Sky Mavis announced they will begin developing their Ronin Ethereum sidechain in an effort to alleviate this issue.

Why Does AXS Coin Have Value?

Al igual que muchas otras criptomonedas, el suministro de Axie Infinity Shard (AXS) es limitado, lo que significa que las reglas del software garantizan que solo habrá 270 millones de tokens AXS.

AXS es un token de gobierno de Ethereum creado para el juego Axie Infinity. Aunque las compras dentro del juego en el mercado de NFT se realizan actualmente con ether, Sky Mavis planea convertir a AXS en la moneda nativa del mercado de Axie Infinity.

Además, los jugadores pueden hacer staking con sus tokens AXS para participar en el mecanismo de gobierno de la plataforma y tener una voz directa en el desarrollo futuro del juego. Esto crea un incentivo para que mantengan sus tokens AXS mientras obtienen recompensas y permite la propiedad distribuida y el gobierno de la experiencia Axie Infinity para todos los jugadores.

Por último, Sky Mavis tiene la intención de crear un tesorería comunitaria para ayudar a promover la innovación y el desarrollo dentro del juego Axis Infinity. La tesorería de la comunidad recibiría los ingresos generados por las tarifas de compra en Axie Infinity, así como una parte de las recompensas de participación generadas por los jugadores.
