“Your Axie Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are a ticket to an infinite realm of experiences,” Sky Mavis developers wrote on Twitter yesterday when announcing the launch of their Builders program. With this, they are allowing new teams to create gaming experiences for their community, which is enthusiastically receiving the initiative.
The Builder program is designed to reward select builder teams who have submissions for the Axie Infinity community to live new experiences.
with his ad, Sky Mavis announced the proposals of the first 12 selected teams. Now your projects will receive technical assistance, along with funding of at least $10,000 in AXS tokens to promote its development.
Following the announcement, the price of Axie Infinity tokens rallied, after several consecutive weeks losing value. In that sense, AXS, which was trading at USD 20 on May 30, climbed to USD 27 the next dayearning more than 20% in a few hours.
However, AXS has pulled back in the last few hours and is at $23 at time of writing, according to Coingecko. With this, it remains more than 85% below its all-time high of USD 164 recorded 7 months ago.
The same happens with the price of the Smooth Love Potion (SLP) token, which the play to earn platform uses to award rewards to its players. Before the announcement of the Builder program, the asset was trading at $0.0054, and after the Sky Mavis news, its value shot up to $0.0061. Although just as quickly as it went up, it also fell back and is now in the order of $0.0056, as sample Coingecko.
Axie Infinity, a new territory to explore games
Last year, as CriptoNoticias reported, the fever that broke out around Axie Infinity led the project to become the first NFT collection to reach move more than USD 2 billion. However, over time, other proposals have been capturing more of the players’ attention, although Sky Mavis remains the one that has moved the most money so far.
as it sample DappRadar, Axie Infinity continues to lose interest from players who have left even as the company made pitches to retain them. In any case, it is now shaking hands with the best creators in the community, hoping to retake the leadership position it once held.
With this, you are entering the field of competition metaverses like Decentraland or The Sandboxwhich allow their users to create gaming experiences and organize activities for the rest of the community to enjoy.
So, to understand what path they’re taking, we’ll take a look at some of the pitches coming from the creator teams that Sky Mavis has handpicked.
First of all, there is Inter the Dungeon, which is a dungeon exploration game where gamers can use Axie to probe after consuming SLP. This project that invites you to live a great adventure is inspired by well-known board games, including Inca Treasures and Dungeon Legends.
There is also the proposal Defenders of Lunacian Land (DOLL) which is a survival action game loaded with many intelligent algorithms, whose tasks are to never take a player on the same paths. As part of the action, gamers just need to control an Axie which will auto attack to fight against endless waves of enemies.
The third initiative mentioned is Axie To The Moon, which is described as a mobile air combat game, where the player controls an Axie that shoots weapons instead of a plane. The project is based on the same concept as Axie Infinity, which allows players to progress through an infinite universe.
