Axie started in 2018. Creatures you could collect, battle, and raise while learning about a magical new technology called blockchain.
Part of the original concept were axie homes called Terrariums. Places where your axies could live, get stronger, and harvest resources. Battles ended up getting prioritized instead, and Terrariums got shelved.
But for eight years, that original idea held a special place in our hearts.
Terrariums are a nod to that original dream. We're hard at work and our goal is to deliver the first version in late June.
Here's how they'll work on day one:
1. You activate a plot of land.
2. You put your axies on it.
3. Every hour, the world ticks forward on its own. While you're away, your land is working.
4. It earns a reward called bAXS, the in-game currency that feeds back into the broader Axie economy.
5. To stay running, your land burns a fuel called Lunium. You get it two ways: buy packs, or let your land generate it slowly for free.
6. How much you earn scales with your axie power, a stat currently called Atia's Flame. Stronger (collectible) axies earn more points. More points means a bigger share of the prize pool.
7. Each land type has its own pool, split between everyone who owns that type.
8. There will be free terrariums that can be used to earn axie experience points (but not bAXS). These should also be useful for onboarding newcomers.
The day-to-day is simple by design as we want to make sure that the gameplay is easy to grasp at first and doesn't become a grind for landowners.
