Axie Infinity is an Ethereum (ETH) blockchain-based game with a non-fungible token (NFT) ecosystem. Each player must first have Axies to play. Well, these Axies are known as NFT. You can store Axies in a personal wallet, transfer them to another ETH address, or trade them with other players using a blockchain-based marketplace.
Axie Infinity has been in existence since 2018 and was developed by a Vietnamese startup, Sky Mavis. Being an ETH-based collection game, Axie Infinity is now very popular among traders and gamers alike. This game uses a turn-based fighting style with Axies as the characters. These Axies are described as Pokemon that have various skills in them. You will use Axies/Pokemon to fight in PVE or PVP.
Tokens in this game use Small Love Potions (SLP) which you can get by playing Axie Infinity — then they can be exchanged for ETH. When this article was written, the price of 1 SLP was in the numbers:
0.00016138 ETH;
Rp4,557.
Nominal amount depends on the crypto market
In a day you can get 150 SLP up to an indefinite amount (depending on your craft level to play). If you add up in a month, you can get:
150 SLP x 31 days = 4,650 SLP.
