Axie Infinity

Axie Infinity logo artwork header

Axie Infinity is a battle game made by Sky Mavis. Players need to own at least three little creatures, called Axies, to be able to battle in the game. This strategy game has a strong tactical layer, because each Axie has its own unique powers. By combining the strengths of their Axies, players can develop a tactic which they can use to outsmart their opponents.

Players store each Axie creature in their own wallet as a non-fungible token (NFT). Sky Mavis has created their own sidechain for the Ethereum network, allowing players to exchange NFTs without having to worry about gas fees.

Axie Infinity doesn’t only offer battle gameplay. Players also own land parcels in the world of Lunacia. Land gameplay will allow players to explore the world and battle chimaera. Ultimately the community will govern the world of Lunacia through a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).
