Along with the AXS token, The value of the NFT creatures required to play the game is also surging high. Rare Mystic Axies sell for more than $56,000 on the game’s marketplace, exceeding the current floor price of roughly $42,000 for NFT parent CryptoPunks.
With Axies increasing popularity, the participation cost of the game has significantly increased. A player will need $1300 to buy 3 axies to get going, as most users hail from backward nations they cannot afford to make this big investment to win big. Hence, to solve this problem the community has come up with Axie Scholarship Program.
An Axie scholarship is when a manager or guild (the scholar) provides three Axies to a player (student) to utilize in order to play the game and earn Small Love Potions (SLP). The amount of SLP earned by the player is split in a predetermined ratio with the manager or guild.
