Not long ago, Axie Infinity launched the Builders Program. This was an initiative that allowed developers to create independent projects using the Ronin blockchain and other resources from Sky Mavis. The goal is to expand Axie’s ecosystem and offer more gaming options. One of the products resulting from this program is Mech Infinity.
What is Mech Infinity?
Mech Infinity is a battle royale video game inspired by the Axie universe. It involves the use of avatars, Axie Mechs, to engage in duels and various contests. The winner will receive $AXS, $SLP and NFT as a reward. This project will be hosted on the Ronin blockchain. It uses the free-to-play mechanism, which means you don’t need to own any digital assets before diving into the game.
Although Axie Infinity’s resources support it, it is an independent idea. However, it will still use some of Axie’s intellectual property. That’s why it uses $AXS and $SLP. However, the game will have its own currency. The team has not yet decided which on-chain token to use.
Despite its early introduction, this project is not yet available to the public. The team proposes the second quarter of 2023 as a tentative release date. Although they are aiming for a full launch, the mobile version will go live first. There are already plans to work with Google PlayStore and Apple Store.
After the full launch of the game, the launch of the marketplace will follow. Then the team will kick off the use of this online trading platform by sanctioning the sale of large mysterious NFT boxes. Meanwhile, the prototype will be ready by the end of 2022. After that, there will be a private beta test for specific “MVPs”.
Other details
In introducing the program, Mech Infinity also highlighted a few things. First, investors can offer scholarships by lending their NFTs to other users. Better yet, the devs will create a guild to support players. This product will participate in the burning of SLP tokens alongside Axie Infinity. More details are available on the roadmap site. Those interested can also visit the official website to learn more.
Meanwhile, the market is not yet like. This launch is subject to the approval of Sky Mavis. Therefore, there are no NFTs or mystery boxes for sale. Members can continue to support the project by sharing their thoughts and opinions on social media. They should also actively participate in community activities. Users can also create content to promote this new initiative.
