This Pokémon-based crypto game allows players to earn “real gold”

Axie Infinity, a Pokémon-based crypto game that allows players to collect and fight cute creatures, has now added something that can be even more appealing than the adorable animals that are collected in the game: real gold.

Rather, tokens covered with real gold. The game’s developers teamed up with Digix to introduce special Axie-DGX game tokens that can be collected and exchanged for a native, gold-covered DGX token (one DGX equals one gram of gold).

A Pokémon-based crypto game is an innovative way to use digital gold

Until August 2, the Golden Season game campaign will bring players new Axie-DGX tokens worth $ 1,500 through random drops. 100,000 Axie-DGX tokens can be exchanged for one DGX token. At the time of writing, DGX is priced at around $ 60 per token.

“This initiative will take the play-to-earn narrative to a new level,” said Aleksander Leonsard Larsen, co-founder of Axie Infinity and COO. “For the first time, players can earn real gold just by playing the game. Experiments that benefit and reward users are key to fostering the adoption of blockchain technology.”

In addition, the two companies teamed up with Bullionix to create a gold, stackable non-convertible token (NFT) for promotion called the Golden Ax coin. The coin is available for 0.35 DGX, of which 0.25 is stacked and another 0.10 as a fee. The number of Golden Ax coins created is not limited, but will be available until August 2.

“This partnership with Axie Infinity is not only a significant milestone for Digix – but also for the growth of digital gold and the emphasis on its benefits across a range of industries, including gaming,” said Digix and COO co-founder Shaun Djie. “By providing a gaming currency backed by gold – a time-tested asset – we remain true to our vision of democratizing our approach to gold and further introducing innovative uses for digital gold.”

Axie Infinity recently saw an increase in the price of its Small Love Potion (SLP) token, which is used to breed Axie creatures. The ERC-20 token recorded a pump of more than 5,000%. According to EthereumPrice, thanks in large part to the discussion on the anonymous 4chan forum.

The wave has receded and the price of the SLP token is currently around $ 0.019, which is 92% less than at its peak on June 8. However, this price is still 502% better than ever before a month ago.
