Axies Infinity saw an increase in users and sales

The price of Axie Infinity has skyrocketed in recent months, and with more than a million active users, the play2earn game has surpassed the $1 billion mark in total sales. What's most impressive is the rate at which the number of users has grown. On June 8, Mavis stated that the platform had just over 100,000 active daily users. In just two months, that number has increased to one million active users. At least two-thirds of users are on Android, with the rest mostly on Windows.

While the game is free to download, it forces users to assemble a team of three Axies before playing. These Axies are offered for sale on Opensea as NFTs and cost anywhere from $200 to several thousand dollars each.

On August 2, Mavis announced how many users actually owned these Axies. At that time, there were at least 836,000 wallets. So it seems that a significant portion of daily active users also own these NFTs. Since players are forced to buy a team of Axies, the game seems to be able to generate such a high volume of sales.

What is Axies Infinity?

Axie Infinity is inspired by Nintendo's popular Pokémon series, in which you collect adorable monsters and pit them against each other in cartoon-style battles. The focus is on turn-based battles, either against computer-controlled Axie teams or live opponents over the internet. The game runs on the Ethereum blockchain using Ronin, a sidechain that helps minimize fees and transaction delays.

NFTs represent items in the game. These tokens can be linked to digital content; in Axie Infinity, Axies and land parcels populate the game. After purchasing these NFTs, you can exchange Axies for real money in the game's marketplace. You can also breed Axies, which allows you to build potentially stronger teams and gives you additional NFTs to sell in the marketplace.

What makes the game so unique is its successful "play-to-earn" mechanism. Users can breed Axies and earn real money from them, and the "play-to-earn" approach rewards them with crypto tokens that they can exchange for cash. Thousands of "Axie Scholars" can often be found on Discords, where Axie owners lend their NFTs to other players to play Axies and earn a living. The profits are split between the parties, and in countries like the Philippines and Indonesia, people play Axie to support their families.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
