about the play-to-earn game این بازی کیری ترین بازی جهان است industry? |url=https://kr-asia.com/what-does-axie-infinitys-players when they trade Axies on its marketplace.

As of September 2021, most Axie Infinity players are from the Philippines.

Axie Infinity is built on the Ronin Network, an Ethereum-linked sidechain developed by Sky Mavis. On 23 March 2022, hackers compromised the network, stealing approximately US$620 million in Ether and USDC. A month prior to the incident, the game had become the first NFT series to exceed US$4 billion in sales.

Gameplay

According to the company's website, Axie Infinity is a competitive game with an "idle battle" system derived from games like Final Fantasy Tactics and Idle Heroes. The game's setting is filled with creatures called Axies that players can collect as pets. Players aim to battle, breed, collect, raise, and build kingdoms for their Axies. The game has an in-game economy where players can buy, sell, and trade resources they earn in the game. The main path to progression in the game is by expanding the size of one's collection.

The game uses a "pay-to-earn" model (also called "pay-to-play-to-earn" model) where after participants pay the starting costs, they can earn an Ethereum-based in-game cryptocurrency by playing. Axie Infinity allows users to cash-out their tokens every fourteen days. This model has been described as a form of gambling, and one with an unstable market that is overly reliant on the inflow of new players.

In February 2020, Sky Mavis estimated that the average player had to spend around US$400 to meet this starting requirement. By August 2020, the cheapest Axie cost approximately US$307, although reports as of March 2022 suggest the floor price of an Axie has dipped to around US$20.

In the Philippines, the prohibitive cost of entry led to the formation of gaming guilds which rented out assets to allow new players meet the minimum requirements. As of June 2021, some people in the Philippines had begun to treat the game as their main source of income, although earning rates from playing Axie Infinity fell below the national minimum wage by September 2021. The Philippine Department of Finance also clarified that income from playing Axie Infinity is taxable, and suggested that the SEC and BSP may classify its cryptocurrency as a currency or a security.

Apart from gameplay related directly to Axies, players of Axie Infinity can also purchase virtual land and other in-game assets as NFTs. The record sale of a plot of virtual land was priced at US$2.3 million, as of 25 November 2021.

Development

Development of Axie Infinity commenced in 2017, led by its co-founder and CEO, Trung Nguyen, alongside a group of his friends. As an avid gamer, Nguyen had invested money into his CryptoKitties gameplay, before realizing he could make his own blockchain-based game, combining elements of CryptoKitties with the competitive gameplay of the Pokémon series or Neopets.

In October 2018, the core development team released Axie Infinity's first battle system built on top of the Axie game assets. Development of the real-time card battle system and application commenced in March 2019, and an alpha was released in December 2019.
