What is Axie Infinity

Axie Infinity is a creature collection and battling game, we use blockchain technology to really empower our players and allow them to earn crypto despite playing the game. We also seek to be the first game that's really owned by its community. So we just released a governance token called AXS to achieve that goal.

I see that AXS token is pumping hard.

I try not to focus too much on the price. Axie Infinity is the number one NFT project in terms of traction and community right now.

A lot of investors are looking into Axie infinity. That's for two reasons. One is because you guys are doing great work and you are funded as a company. The other one is the community, which is sharing all day long.

The community is doing a lot of really hard work to expand and evangelize the game. And yeah, Axie Infinity is fun. There's a very engaging kind of collection and economic aspect to it, which lends itself to really deep analysis.

Recently, you guys partnered with Chainlink. In the official announcement, you guys stated that you are integrating price feeds for US dollars for the marketplace. Why are you doing this? Why integrate a decentralized feed, rather than taking a centralized price?

We're doing two things with Chainlink.

One, we integrated decentralized price fees for the ETH/USD price on our marketplace, which makes sure that the price feed is accurate and never doubted.

If we were taking it from centralized websites, the price could go down, and, that could impact the service. This is also good especially for newcomers who might not be familiar with ETH prices.

The second thing that we're doing is that we're integrating the

Chainlink VRF that ensures when there's some kind of random element or event related to chance, then you make sure that that act of rolling is fair.

Take for example origin Axies. Those axes can only be created from a special token that's leftover from the beginning of the game. So you can think of them as kind of like the unknown Opened first edition booster packs from Pokemon. There's still a chance of opening an origin Axie and some of them could have mystic parts, which are rare.

The cheapest is around six or seven ETH right now. A triple mystic Axie just sold for 300 ETH. That property is very important, and it needs to be as transparent as possible.
