Axie Infinity

Axie Infinity has been a pioneer in the field of blockchain gaming for creating its own sidechain network, Ronin network, to lessen the value of gas fees for every transaction within the ecosystem. Its attempt to balance the tokenomics because of the sudden huge surge of decentralized autonomous users (DAU) minting SLP making the number of minted tokens much greater than token burnt.

Amidst its success, however, it has been ridiculed by critics for decisions like delivering updates that are only band-aid solutions.  The community rose up and shared their thoughts and suggestions to the developers and luckily, there seems to be constant communication now from both ends.

Though, as of writing, Origin (V3) and Land game has not yet been released but all are rooting for the game to bounce back. Game developers are submitting their entries to build the Axie-verse in their own way while more scholars are learning to  invest in RON and AXS for their financial gains.
