Interview With Axie Infinity's Jihoz - Decentralise #54
NFTs, community-led growth and the play-to-earn revolution
Axie Infinity
Axie Infinity have been setting a blazing trail in the Ethereum gaming scene with their NFT battle pets.
I’ve covered their updates a couple of times, but today I had the privilege of chatting with Axie Infinity’s Jihoz.
We covered everything from the platform’s governance token AXS, successful Binance launchpad, community growth, and the play-to-earn revolution.
Make sure to subscribe to their Medium, the latest post gives a detailed insight into the Community Treasury.
1) For anyone new what’s your ELI5 of NFT gaming and why this is literally game-changing?
2) What can users do in the land of Lunacia? There’s PvE, PVP, and breeding, with every Axie unique and infinite genetic possibilities. You guys are championing the play to earn revolution. Getting paid to play a game sounds way too good to be true for a lot of people, so how does it work?
3) Axie Infinity is the NFT gaming industry’s leader with over 18k monthly active users and a highly active community, what's been the key to the project's early success?
4) Last month you guys launched with Binance, congratulations! What are Axie Infinity Shards (AXS) and what do players need to do to be rewarded? Token holders will completely own the future of the game, so how will governance work?
5) The latest update saw an early version of Axie Land, what’s it all about?
6) Recently Delphi Digital spent $160k on 5 triple mystic Axies. How do you see Axies as *collectables* developing?
7) Could you talk a little bit about scalability and keeping the game accessible, does anything happen off-chain and what is the plan for the future?
Conclusion
Axie Infinity are building not just a gaming community but a new economy.
They’re getting so much right, and I agree completely with Jihoz’s strategy of community-led growth. I love how the official Medium posts player spotlights, celebrating community members.
Axie are big believers in the viral power of gaming, spreading Ethereum adoption and decentralised technology to a new wave of users.
Personally I think it’s very likely that this comes to pass, and with the way the game is heating up it may happen sooner than some think
Thank you Jihoz for taking the time to lay out your thoughts on the space!
