The Axie Infinity is a blockchain-based game that is now taking over the crypto space and is currently dominating the non-fungible token (NFT). This video game is spreading like wildfire in the Philippines.

How does it work?

Axie Infinity has multiple layers of tactical strategies. The game revolves around your axies that have a unique set of skills and powers.

The game runs on blockchain technology. However, instead of mining new blocks on the chain, the video game provides a ‘play to earn’ structure. People can earn in player versus player (PVP) battles, breeding, and selling axies on the marketplace. They can also collect rare Axies.

Smooth Love Potions (SLP) are needed to breed axies. Like any other cryptocurrency, SLPs are volatile. Players are rewarded based on their effort and skill. You can buy SLPs via Binance or Uniswap.

Gamers have the option to level up their pets through the Adventure mode where they will have to go through different levels or put their pets to the test by playing the Arena Mode. To earn SLPs, they have to complete Daily Quest to conquer different levels in Adventure mode.
