Axie Infinity is an NFT-based video gaming platform developed by Sky Mavis. The game operates on the Ethereum blockchain and has its in-game economy.
Players collect and mint NFTs representing digital pets known as Axies. These Axies can be bred, battled, and traded within the game.
Axie Infinity operates on the Ronin Network with “Axie Infinity Shards/Token” or AXS as the primary gaming currency.
In February 2020, the starting cost for a new player was estimated at US$400. By August 2020, the cheapest Axie was priced at approximately US$307. However, by March 2022, the floor price of an Axie had reduced to around US$20.
As of June 2021, some individuals in the Philippines began treating the game as their primary income source.
However, by September 2021, earnings from playing Axie Infinity dropped below the national minimum wage in the Philippines.
According to a report from April 2023, the price of Axie Infinity’s cryptocurrency token had decreased by 99% from its peak in February 2022.
This led to a decline in the average daily players from a high of 2.7 million to approximately 250,000.
In March 2022, the Ronin Network faced a security breach, resulting in the theft of approximately US$620 million worth of cryptocurrency.
