Sky Mavis marks Axie’s 2nd birthday with exclusive rewards campaign

In the still early days of blockchain games, only a dozen titles can celebrate their second birthday. Now it’s time for Sky Mavis to mark the occasion since the reboot of Axie Infinity.

Originally launched in 2018, Axie Infinity was then revamped, with a particular focus on more sustainable tokenomics, and re-released on the 14th September 2022 in the shape of Axie Origins. To clarify, it’s worth pointing out that the game is still generally referred to as Axie Infinity.

As a way of thanking its loyal players, Sky Mavis has announced it will be giving away rewards such as AXP boosters, Moonshards, and other exclusive limited-edition prizes like an avatar, sticker, and more. Users have to log in for 9 consecutive days, starting 11th September, to claim all of them. 

In conjunction with the 2-year rewards campaign, Axie Infinity is also kicking off season 10. This features an additional 24,000 AXS ($100,000) prize pool.

As for Axie Infinity’s recent game performance, daily active users have steadily increased since its introduction of Bounty Boards in April 2024. Prior to this, DAUWs remained between 10,000-20,000, whereas today it’s around 80,000-mark. 

More generally, Sky Mavis’ Ronin blockchain continues to be the one on which games are finding a decent audience of players and token claimers. Apart from the long-reigning web3 game with the most daily active users, social RPG Pixels, other games on Ronin including Apeiron, Wild Forest and Lummiterra have also gained recent traction.

Ronin currently has 27 million total lifetime wallets.
