April Axie Infinity Ecosystem Update
GamerSpeak’s Monthly Newsletter Covering Key Details and Observations about the Axie Infinity Economy and Community
This newsletter will be a form for our team to talk to our community while sharing key details in the Axie ecosystem that are important for our future as a guild. This is our way of giving back and helping everyone in our ecosystem stay up to date.
Land Staking - The Lunacian
Land Staking Launches!
Axie Infinity has released details on how owners can stake their land. Owners can expect specific rewards depending on their land type. According to Axie Infinity, “Land Staking is an initiative designed to increase ownership of AXS among our landholders…. we want to make sure that their long term outlook is rewarded with more ownership and influence over our collective ecosystem.”
This update comes with criticism from land investors as land gameplay has continuously been delayed.
$AXS rewards for land will continue to increase $AXS circulating supply in the market. $AXS has continued in a downtrend and these emissions will possibly add to the selling pressure.
Axie Infinity: Taking Steps Towards Land
Sky Mavis has released a video showcasing their updated version of Land to their community. Check out the video of Axie Infinity Land here.
Phil and Zyori went on Twitch live to discuss the progress on Land. Check out their presentation here.
The video showcases: Harvesting 🪓, Producing 🌽, and Crafting 🛠️. They have provided a disclaimer that states, “This is a very early version of land. The final product will be much more fleshed out-- we wanted to give you all a visual update, nonetheless.”
Land will be a mix of various games we have seen in the Web 2 era such as Farmville. There is a lot that is unknown about land but it is encouraging to see the team continuously providing the community with updates.
🛠️ Origin Update🛠️
Building Origin From The Ground Up 🛠️
The Sky Mavis team has released various articles discussing the changes they have made with Axie Infinity: Origin.
With the launch of Origin, various updates have been deployed in the new gameplay. The majority of the updates are directed toward creating a more competitive game while focusing on receiving general feedback from all the players.
These updates have included; changes to the energy system within the gameplay, card balancing, visual changes, new and improved matching-making systems, and so much more.
