Axie Infinity

Funding guaranteed! Sky Mavis Serie A

Sometimes you arrive in a market so early that it feels like you are building for yourself and for close friends. When Axie was born 3 years ago, hardly anyone cared or understood what an NFT was.

Our office in 2018. The grind of the bear market is imprinted in our culture.

We knew most of our players by name, and Axie Discord felt like an intimate conversation around a campfire. How things have changed!

Looking back, this was a crucial rite of passage for us and our seasoned community. It was dark and cold, but scar tissue is our secret weapon and this environment can never be recreated. In the beginning, we attracted a community of missionaries more interested in a game changer than quick money.

Here are our core beliefs:

  • NFTs enable new types of games : Just as mobile games have unlocked new design spaces and new player archetypes, so will NFT games. These games will not look like games from the past and will require an entirely new perspective and skills to develop.

  • Gamers crave property rights - The rights of property inspire players to act more like founders and employees than users. These rights include: being able to sell your gaming assets to anyone in the world, earning cash tokens for playing / contributing, and being able to own any part of the game you are playing.

  • Play to win - Unlock new types of jobs in Metaverse's digital economies, just as Uber, AirBNB, and DoorDash have created new types of jobs and professions.

From humble beginnings, Axie has grown into the largest NFT gaming ecosystem with the metrics to prove it:

  • Over 41 daily active users + 000+ Axie owners

  • Over $ 15 million in monthly NFT volume.

  • A fully diluted market capitalization of over $ 2 billion.

  • The number one NFT game and one of the most used apps on Ethereum.

This is just the start of a long and fascinating journey. The following steps involve:

  1. Lower barriers to entry. It is still very difficult to get started in NFT games. So we built Ronin, a bespoke Ethereum side chain designed to evolve Axie Infinity and other digital nations in the future.

  2. More fun. We have already started hiring traditional game developers. Tesla was able to learn the skills they lacked as his vision was huge and he acted as a magnet for talent. Why wait for triple AAA game studios to grow when we can just hire their star talent?

  3. Climb the game to win. As an NFT game grows its community, advertisers and sponsors will begin to inject capital into these ecosystems, making them even more attractive to gamers. This means that NFT games will benefit from network effects in a way that games have never been able to do before.

NFTs with built-in utility and fun are inevitably part of the future.

So far we have not received enough funds. We have been tough and it will always be in our DNA. Fortunately, this new round of funding will allow us to be more aggressive in our recruitments and our growth experiments. We expect Axie to scale to millions of users through:

  • A program of creation of world class which combines the best sponsorship systems ever created and adds a touch of blockchain magic.

  • Play and win for free will unlock millions of new users who will try Axie for fun before making financial decisions. Hundreds of thousands of users try to play Axie every month but give up because of all the steps.

  • Content generated by users will unlock the true potential of Axie. Going forward, Sky Mavis will be one of many organizations to rely on Axie and Ronin. Axie will become a beehive mind not limited by the ideas of a single core team.

Axie's success will act as a magnet to attract more developers to NFT games. We will help these pioneers launch and evolve their projects both technically by using Ronin and by showcasing their products to our unrivaled community.

This is the future we see ahead of us. It's still very early days, especially for NFT games which, in our opinion, require the most work but also have the most potential.

To help organize that future, we're excited to share that we've raised $ 7,5 million through an amazing group of new community members.

We hire courageous, talented and persuasive missionaries to help us on this epic quest.
