Axie Infinity (@AxieInfinity): The 2024 Lunacian Address

The 2024 Lunacian Address Fellow Lunacians. We’re ready for a new year. A new adventure. Our victories over the past twelve months have put us in a strong position to capitalize on the year ahead— together. Let’s take a moment to look back on the last 365 days of Axie growth👇 🖼️ https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gg776c1bkAAsim8.jpg Axie by the Numbers We’ve seen dramatic growth over the past year. Game DAA and MAA saw steady increases as Bounty Board participants grew month-over-month. App.axie trading volume surpassed $30M USD in 2024, with a $4M surge driven by Coinbase’s Learn and Earn Campaign. The Premier Bounty Board and Wings of Nightmare releases fueled the continuation of this trend through H2. The Axie Treasury also grew by $4M USD, averaging over $330K in revenue per month. A good chunk of this volume came from the Wings of Nightmare event in November. The SLP Stability Fund’s monetary policies resulted in an annualized deflation rate of 0.57%, which means more tokens were burned than emitted in 2024. AXS even got a dose of institutional adoption, joining the https://x.com/coinbase 50 Index with other top tokens beyond gaming. It was a good year to be a Lunacian. 🖼️ https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gg78KrlbQAAb6Va.jpg Mystic Axies: the Ronin Jewel Over the past year, Mystic axies received a firehose of benefits including Whitelist access to major Ronin launches, a steady stream of Fortune Slips, access to the Premier Bounty Board, a high Axie Score bonus, in-game discounts, and more. During that time, demand for Mystic axies also increased: in January, floor price sat at 4.4 ETH when ETH was around $2.3K USD and rose to 5.5 ETH by the end of the year. It’s no secret that Mystic axies are the most-coveted collectible in Lunacia. At this point, holding one is becoming a statement that says, “I made it.” 🖼️ https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gg78NRhboAAsuTN.jpg App.axie’s Banner Year “All of Axie, Together.” That was the headline we used in 2022 after upgrading our marketplace to a full-fledged app and website of its own. Looking back on 2024, we’ve stayed true to that mission and even delivered a few long-awaited features. Here’s a recap: Play-to-Rice and Bounty Boards 🍚 At the beginning of the year, we challenged ourselves to reimagine the ways our community earned rewards. The answer: Bounty Boards. The first Bounty Board launched in April, and we doubled down afters its early success by creating a second Premier Bounty Board. Today, thousands of players earn AXS through these Bounty Boards every week — all through App.axie. Delegation 🎯 Axie Infinity introduced millions of gamers to Web3 a few years ago by leveraging an informal rental model that matched scholars with managers. Last year, we formalized this model and launched Axie Delegation on App.axie! Anyone, anywhere can now play with another Lunacian’s axies and land plots. Governance 🤝 Since the beginning of Axie Infinity, we’ve had a big idea: together, we can build and improve an immersive gaming world within Lunacia through a process of governance. May 17th, 2024 marked the birth of the Axie Governance Portal on App.axie. The Portal enabled the first proposal to pass after a nation-wide vote!

It was a fun year for Axie players! So much to do, so many rewards. Let’s talk about it: Axie Classic Classic is the game that brought millions to our movement. We introduced Guilds to the game last year, which means players can now team up, compete against other teams, and earn tons of rewards! Stay tuned for the Axie World Cup in 2025. 🖼️ https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gg79C-XasAA6sE2.jpg Axie Origins Origins saw the addition of new features including Meta Morph, which enabled players to transform their axie’s cards. This led to unprecedented SLP burning, and brought even more utility to axies. We also pushed through five seasons together, where players earned over 500,000 AXS in total rewards. That amounts to over $3.4M USD at today’s prices! 🖼️ https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gg789Ufa4AAVbPT.jpg Axie Homeland Homeland saw the addition of new features including upgraded an upgraded Passive Adventure, a new Avatar Mode, and an injection of fresh rewards through various events. We also minted Luna’s Landing plots, and handed out exclusive Luna’s Landing badges! 🖼️ https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gg786IEbAAAdRYt.jpg Axie Tournaments IRL Esports Tournaments took place around the world for both Classic and Origins — with thousands of AXS in rewards up for grabs. Axie Classic Guild Wars SEA became the highlight of the year, showcasing that Web3 games can deliver great esports experiences. Axie esports were thriving — even through a bear market. 🐦 https://x.com/i/status/1804896097019826639 What’s Cooking for 2025? There’s only one way to say this: 2025 will be like nothing Lunacia has ever seen. We’ve spent the last year launching new features, fine-tuning games, and tying up loose ends — and we’re ready for a new chapter of growth. Next year, we’re looking to make bigger, bolder bets on YOU. We’re consolidating our forces. Loading new artillery. Look to our channels for a major update in Q1. We will call on each and every Lunacian to rise up. And then, during this dawn of 2025, we ride together once again ⚔️ Full announcement 👇 📜 :https://blog.axieinfinity.com/p/the-2024-lunacian-addresss
