What is Axie Infinity?
Axie Infinity is a game universe where players collect, battle and breed creatures called Axies, owned as tokens on the Ronin chain. Its titles include Axie Infinity: Origins, Classic and Atia's Legacy. AXS is the governance token; Sky Mavis runs the games and the Ronin Wallet.
How Axie Infinity works
Each Axie has six body parts and a body shape, and each part carries a dominant gene and two recessive genes.
When two Axies breed, the dominant gene passes with 37.5% probability, the first recessive with 9.375% and the minor recessive with 3.125%. An Axie can breed seven times. Axies cannot breed with their children or siblings, and a new egg takes 5 days to mature into an adult.
AXS is an ERC-20 governance token with a hard cap of 270,000,000: 29% staking rewards, 21% Sky Mavis, 20% play and earn, 11% public sale, 8% ecosystem fund, 7% advisors and 4% private sale, unlocking over 65 months from the public sale. A Community Treasury on Ronin receives 4.25% of all Axie marketplace transactions plus the AXS portion of breeding fees. Sky Mavis's help center tracks Origins, Classic, Atia's Legacy, Terrariums and the marketplace on one status panel.
How to start with Axie Infinity
- Sky Mavis's guide has four steps: create a Ronin Wallet (browser extension or mobile app), set up a Mavis account on App.Axie (wallets created by social login or email sync this step automatically), get Axies on App.Axie, then download a game.
- You can create the wallet with a secret recovery phrase, which lets you generate several addresses, or with social login or email plus a recovery password.
- The second option gives one address that stays bound to that email.
Axie Infinity fees and limits
- Marketplace sales carry a 4.25% fee that goes to the Community Treasury, per the whitepaper.
Breeding costs a variable amount of AXS plus SLP per parent that rises with breed count: 900 for the first breed, then 1,350, 2,250, 3,600, 5,850, 9,450 and 15,300 for the seventh. Sky Mavis does not sell SLP to players directly; you earn it in the PvP Arena.
Risks to know before using Axie Infinity
- Sky Mavis support warns that anyone with your recovery phrase, private key or recovery password can move your assets, and that changing your account password does not stop them.
- It names a Trezor or Ledger hardware wallet as the only way to get 2FA on wallet transactions.
- The whitepaper, last updated November 2021, calls the game experimental and says roadmaps can change radically.
- Quantstamp audited the AXS and SLP contracts on April 25, 2021.
