By trading volume, Axie Infinity is the largest NFT project of all-time, but the world’s leading play-to-earn game has traveled a rocky road. If you remember, in March 2022 Axie was the victim of the largest crypto hack in history, losing approximately $622 million. However, things are looking up. While all of Axie’s industry comps and KPIs are well under their high water marks, Axie is making a comeback. Which raises the question: Why?
This is a case study worth studying. Start with Andrew Hayward’s article on Decrypt, then do some research of your own. Keep in mind that for some players, Axie Infinity is the way they earn their living. That’s not the most common use case, but there are enough people using the game to put food on the table to get your attention.
I’m fascinated by the potential of engage-to-earn models. Axie Infinity’s modest resurgence is informative and encouraging.
