Key facts:
AXS token staking is now available on the Axie Infinity platform.
The price of AXS had a slight increase in the last hours, after knowing the news.
One of the most anticipated news for Axie Infinity players and investors in the ecosystem has arrived play-to -earn : the staking of the AXS token was activated, allowing cryptocurrencies to be earned by depositing it in a smart contract.
“Staking allows you to lock your precious AXS to earn rewards” in that same token, indicates the game’s developer team in its Blog. The option to deposit tokens is now available on the platform , although the distribution of rewards will only begin tomorrow, October 1.
Over time, and as the decentralization plans of Axie Infinity , the tokens deposited will not only serve to generate rewards, but also will enable the user to take part in the governance of the game. It is something similar to what happens in several decentralized finance platforms (or DeFi, for its acronym in English) whose tokens give voting power to their holders.
Sky Mavis, a Vietnamese studio that created the game, defines the AXS token in a similar way to that of company shares: “each AXS token represents a small slice of the Axie universe. With this in mind, they consider allowing staking to be “a way of rewarding community members for being long-term minded and locking down their AXS tokens.”
At the time of writing this article, the reward is 1,238% per annum. As usually happens on the platforms of yield farming (agricultural yield), this number will decrease as new users deposit their tokens in the smart contract.
