The project is inspired by the phenomenon Of pokémon collectible cards and video games, allowing users to collect digital Pets and earn AXS through skillful gameplay, as well as by helping to power the network.

The coin debuted on Binance Launchpad and is supported by crypto research firm Delphi Digital.
“Delphi Ventures has invested in the future management token Axie Infinity, in the development of which we played a major role.
On October 28, our team purchased 5 Axies for 473.5 ETH for about 159 thousand dollars at that time. Recent market movements may have pushed some to the side, but we saw the recent turmoil as an opportunity. The ability to spend a lot of money on digital “battle pets”. While at first glance this may seem like a confusing impulsive purchase caused by the recent hype around NFT, it is actually a purchase that we have been patiently waiting for since we launched Delphi.”
The project started long before the decentralized Finance (DeFi) asset market reached its peak.
According to Dune Analytics, DeFi volume has plummeted over the past month from a record $ 8 billion in September, to about $ 3 billion at the end of October.
