Axie Infinity Announces the First Winners of its Builders Program

Axie Infinity

2021 was the year of NFTs and crypto games. A lot of games achieved world-class fame, attracting hundreds of millions of dollars to the cryptomarket. However, the glory was short-lived, and 2022 has been the worst year for many crypto games; including the biggest of all: Axie Infinity.

On May 31, Sky Mavis, the company behind Axie Infinity, included 12 projects in its Builders program, which, by creating new gaming experiences to help increase the number of users – which, by the way, dropped exponentially, just like the price of its native tokens.

As per Sky Mavi’s press release, the startup selected 12 projects out of more than 2,000 submitted applications. The winners will receive $10,000 in AXS, Axie Infinity’s native currency, to fund their projects’ development. They will be also able to monetize them on a shared basis using the game’s branding.

Axie Infinity seeks to strengthen its ecosystem through The Builders Program

The Builders program is just one of the many initiatives Sky Mavis is rolling out to provide a better and more engaging user experience.

With the Builders Program, the team behind Axie Infinity will leverage the knowledge and experience of its community and will roll out new game modes that help “strengthen the Axie ecosystem.” Sky Mavis also reported that it is partnering up with major game studios to develop new experiences for both Axie Infinity (as a game) and Ronin (its standalone blockchain network).

Meanwhile, Philip La, Head of Game Products at Axie Infinity, said co-creating projects alongside the Axie Infinity community “will be a key driver of value creation at scale over time. “. A big part of WEB3’s philosophy is to promote decentralization, and having a community deeply involved in the development of an ecosystem is essential for Axie Infinity to live long in the world of blockchain.

“The Builders Program is the first step in a new world where the community can make significant and meaningful contributions directly toward games and projects they love and is one of many initiatives that will allow players to gain more enjoyment from the Axies they own.

AXS and SLP are still fighting to recover

AXS was one of the tokens that suffered the most after the 2022 downtrend, dropping over 85% after hitting its ATH of $160. However, the token has currently managed to stay above $18, a price that many analysts see as support.

On the other hand, SLP, which is the token given to players as a reward for victories in battle mode, has fallen more than 98.80% after reaching its ATH of $0.42 in May 2021. A situation that was mostly related to controversial decisions taken by the developers to try to curb players using multiple accounts to benefit from the rewards.

Although Axie Infinity’s internal economy continues to crumble, the community behind the game is so large that it could really help this game position itself at the top of crypto gaming – if the winter ends.
