This season’s Championship winner claims the eighth seat.

Note: the Classic Champions Invitational runs next Sunday, Sept 27. Details will be shared soon.

Looking Beyond This Offseason

We named Season 16 the final competitive season under Sky Mavis’s direct structure. This offseason is what’s left: one more Championship and one more Invitational, both ours to run before we step back.

Axie Governance already formed CORC, the Classic Origins Resurrection Committee, to take the game beyond Sky Mavis. Funding comes from the ecosystem fund for now, then shifts to the Community Treasury over time. The last piece is the legal groundwork to hand over the IP and infrastructure. Once that closes, the transition begins.

Classic’s next chapter belongs to the community. We’ll keep sharing as it moves forward.

Key Points

• A new goal for every run. Fight through nine dungeon floors, build your Talents, and face Kilnbane on floor 10. Keys now cost $1, down from $2. Every treasure earned counts toward USDC rewards.

• $6,000+ in launch prizes. Collect Shards to compete for a $5,000 leaderboard pool and enter raffles for Axie Land items, Ronke PFPs, and RONKE rewards. Beat Kilnbane for a chance to claim the Throne and unlock the Stella skin.

• More Bounty Board points. DoM quests now award more points at every tier.
  

Play Axie: DoM

Axie: Den of Mysteries 2.0 is LIVE!

The Den is open, and it plays nothing like it used to.

Onchain Heroes rebuilt Den of Mysteries from the ground up for better accessibility and replayability. DoM 1.0 laid the foundation for risk-to-earn dungeon crawling. DoM 2.0 gives you a boss to beat, a build to grow, and a Throne to claim.

Here’s what’s new:

What is DoM 2.0

DoM 2.0 is a turn-based roguelike dungeon crawler. All you need is a Ronin Wallet. No Axie required, nothing to mint, so anyone can jump straight in.

Log in and you arrive in the Lobby, a shared hub where you can chat with other players, show off your skins, and reach every feature in the game. Head to the stone portal when you’re ready to run.

Each run spans 10 floors: nine procedurally generated floors across distinct biomes, then Kilnbane’s arena on floor 10. Collect Treasure on the way down. It sets your cut of the Weekly Prize Pool, and Kilnbane’s chest holds a shot at instant rewards.

Keys are your entry ticket, now $1 each, down from $2. Buy them with USDC, RON, WETH, or AXS.

One Key starts a run, and you can spend up to 100. Using more Keys multiplies your Treasure yield and your Blessing payouts, and raises your chance of winning the Throne. A run that collects 100 Treasure on 1 Key collects 500 Treasure on 5 Keys.

More Keys = More Loot.

How to get started

Step 1: Connect your Ronin Wallet at axiedom.xyz.

Step 2: Buy Keys with USDC, RON, WETH, or AXS.

Step 3: Enter the Den and fight toward the final boss floor.

Step 4: Level up and build your Talents.

Step 5: Claim Blessings instantly, or your share of the Weekly Prize Pool at reset.

A run takes about 10-15 minutes. Playable on both desktop and mobile.

Rewards and Economy

Every Key spent on a run funds three separate pools:

• Weekly Prize Pool (70%): paid out in USDC based on your Treasure haul for the week. The pool grows all week and settles at the Thursday 4:00 PM UTC reset.

• Blessings Pool (18%): instant USDC payouts from Kilnbane’s chest.

• Throne (5%): a progressive bounty pool that rolls when you defeat Kilnbane and finish the run. The winner takes 80% of the pool, and the remaining 20% seeds the next Throne.

The other 7% supports ongoing development of DoM.

Blessing Gems

Defeating Kilnbane gives you a 12% chance at a Blessing Gem. Cut it after your run to reveal a multiplier from 0.5x to 21x, applied to your Key buy-in.

Payouts scale with the Keys you spent, up to 100 per run:

E.g. A 100-Key buy-in on a 21x cut pays 2,100 USDC.

How to win the Stella skin: The Throne

Stella is the rarest reward in DoM, and the Throne is the only way to get her. Here’s the full path:

1. Reach floor 10 and defeat Kilnbane.

2. Finish the run. Leave the boss lair to lock it in. Runs left open at the Thursday 4:00 PM UTC reset skip the Throne roll.

3. Win the roll. Every completed Full Clear triggers one roll for the Throne. Hit it, and you take 80% of the Throne pool plus the soulbound Stella skin.

Your odds climb with the Keys you ran and the size of the pool. On a $2,500 Throne, a 1-Key run gives you about 1 in 2,000, while a 100-Key run gives you 1 in 20. Push the pool to $3,750, and that 100-Key run becomes 1 in 13.

Every $250 in the pool adds another 0.005% per Key to your chance. The longer the Throne goes unclaimed, the hotter it gets. For the full odds table, check the whitepaper.

The Launch Event: $6,000+ up for grabs

The DoM: Reborn Launch Event runs September 10 to October 22, 2026, opening and closing at 4:00 PM UTC.

There are two ways to compete.

Collect Shards for the $5,000 leaderboard

• $5,000 ($2,500 in USDC + $2,500 in AXS): split between the top 100 players who hold the most Shards at the end of the event, with higher ranks earning a larger share.

• Shards drop from mobs on floors 1-8, and your total multiplies with the Keys you ran.

• Shards are uncapped, and all six weeks add up into one cumulative leaderboard.

Beat Kilnbane for raffle tickets

• Kilnbane’s chest drops one raffle ticket for every Key you ran.

• Take your tickets to the Raffle Board in the Lobby to enter a draw. Tickets sitting in your inventory stay out of the running.

• Raffles run every other week for various prizes, including:

  • $500 worth of Axie Land items

  • 15 Ronke PFPs

  • $500 worth of RONKE rewards

Three draws run over the event, on September 24, October 8, and October 22, with 5 winners each. Winners are announced on the Axie: Den of Mysteries X account.

Play Axie: DoM

Build your way to Kilnbane

You start each run with 100 Stamina. Moving costs one Stamina; attacking costs none. Read enemy attack patterns, dodge their hits, and find your opening.

Defeat enemies and collect orbs to level up. Each level boosts your stats and restores 10 Stamina. Choose five Talents during levels 1–5, then strengthen your build with Enhancements as you progress.

Defeat Kilnbane or run out of Stamina, and your run ends. The loot you collected is yours to keep.

You can pause mid-run and pick it back up any time before the weekly reset. Anything still open at Thursday 4:00 PM UTC finalizes automatically, forfeits uncut Blessing Gems, and skips the Throne roll.

During the 6-week launch event, defeating Kilnbane also drops raffle tickets.

Levels and Talents

Defeat mobs and grab orbs to earn XP. Every level raises your base stats and restores 10 Stamina on the spot, up to the cap at level 15.

You have 5 Talent slots. Levels 1 through 5 each offer 3 Talents to choose from, and you can reroll the options for a Treasure cost. From level 6, Enhancements start appearing so you can power up the Talents you already hold, twice each at most.

The Unknown Trainer spawns on floors 5 through 9, more often the deeper you go. Pay him 20 Stamina, and he swaps one Talent for a fresh roll, with better rarity odds the further down you are.

Items

You can carry 3 at a time. Buy them from the Armory or pull them from breakables on floors 4 through 9. Every Item is active, so you decide when to trigger it.

A few worth hunting: Midas Touch turns an enemy into a statue you shatter for 150 Treasure. Escape Rope pulls you out of a bad floor into a safe Special Room. Decoy drops a lure the whole swarm chases while you work. Pocket Portal teleports you to another room on the floor.

Check the whitepaper for the full roster.

Special Rooms

Every floor from 1 to 9 has a staircase down. Clear enemies for a chance at Special Stairs instead, and the more you clear, the better your odds.

They open one of two rooms:

• The Shrine: trades Treasure for 20 Stamina, at a price that climbs with each heal.

• The Armory: sells Items off tiered pedestals.

After floor 9, everyone stops at The Sanctum: four Item pedestals and two healing fountains. Your last chance to gear up before Kilnbane.

For the full breakdown of gameplay, mechanics, and rewards, read the official whitepaper.

Bounty Board quests got a points boost

DoM quests on the Bounty Board are getting a points boost. Every tier pays more now, making the quests worth the risk and the leaderboard easier to climb.

• Complete a run (Basic): 15 → 60

• Break 5 pots/crates (Basic): 15 → 60

• Reach Floor 3 (Intermediate): 100 → 330

• Defeat a mimic (Intermediate): 80 → 330

• Defeat 20 enemies (Advanced): 400 → 1,020

• Earn 500 treasure in a single run (Advanced): 450 → 1,020

• Earn 1,000 treasure in a single run (Master): 900 → 3,000

• Reach Floor 7 once (Master): 850 → 3,000

Play DoM, complete bounties, and climb the leaderboard. Earn bAXS from the Bounty Board on top of your share of the DoM Weekly Prize Pool.

  The Axie Vibeathon is LIVE! Every Axie game began as a simple question. What if Axies battled? What if they farmed, raced, or explored? Turning ideas like these into a real game used to take months of work and a team of engineers. That has changed.
  

  The Axie Vibeathon gives you one challenge: build a playable Axie game and show what Axie Core can become. You bring the idea, and AI coding tools help you build it.
  

  Here is how to take part.

  

  What is Axie Vibeathon

  The Axie Vibeathon is a two-round online event where you build your own playable Axie game, centered on Axie Core.

  Each builder enters as an individual and builds one game. Host it wherever you like, then submit the link. The game stays on your hosting, so the platform links to it and never runs it.
  

  You do not need to be a programmer to join. With a clear idea and direction, AI tools can help you turn it into something playable. Whether this is your first game or you already know your way around an engine, choose the tools that best fit your idea. The goal is the same for everyone: make a game people enjoy.

  How to join

  1. Sign in: Register with your Sky Mavis Account. One entry per builder.

  2. Build and host your game: Publish a playable build on a hosting service you control.

  3. Submit your best version: Add your game link, thumbnail, and details, then finalize your entry.

  4. Follow the results: Approved games appear in the gallery, and finalists are contacted directly.
     

  When you finalize, you receive an on-screen receipt with the exact time of your entry. You can finalize a newer version before the deadline, and your latest valid entry counts as the official one.

Judging Criteria

Round 1 is scored on five weighted criteria:

• Axie Core ー 35%

• Gameplay ー 25%

• Product vision ー 20%

• Feasibility ー 10%

• Prototype and documentation quality ー 10%

Before scoring, every entry goes through eligibility and safety screening. Each valid entry then receives three independent judge scores. Up to eight finalists advance to Round 2, and only if they meet the approved quality, eligibility, and safety requirements.

Final Thoughts

This is the first iteration of the Axie Vibeathon. We’re starting with the Lunacian community to get the foundation right: the tools, the format, and the path from an idea to a published Axie game.

What you build here shapes what comes next. Future editions will grow from this one, and the strongest ideas can become lasting Axie experiences.

The next great Axie game could be yours to build.

We look forward to playing it, Lunacians.

Key Points

• Redemption is open on App.axie. Combine five Atia Original Crystals to summon one brand new Origin axie.

• Every Origin has six body parts, and each part takes its own 7% roll to become Mystic.

• Only 1,375 AOC remain, enough to summon 275 Origin axies, and once they are rolled they are gone.

Roll on App.axie

Some stories from Axie’s earliest days were never finished.

Back in 2018, the very first axies were sold in the Origin presale. A way to summon more of them was built long ago, then left waiting for years.

Today, that story picks back up. For the first time in a long while, a new Origin axie can be born, and with a little luck, it may be born Mystic.

Here is the full story, how the roll works, and what your odds really are.

What is an AOC?

AOC stands for Atia Original Crystal, and its roots run all the way back to the beginning of Axie.

In February 2018, Axie Infinity launched its presale. The axies sold there became known as Origin axies, the first ever made and the foundation of the whole collection, capped at 4,088. The presale also let early supporters invite friends and earn referral rewards, and AOC descends from those outstanding claims. Five referral tokens were meant to create one Origin axie, and those tokens were later renamed Axie Origin Coins.

For a time, five AOC could be burned on Ethereum to summon one Origin, with a chance of Mystic parts. That original system was retired by January 2022. Two years later, on January 22, 2024, the remaining AOC moved home to Ronin and took on a new name, Atia Original Crystal. The coins were here, but a way to actually redeem them had yet to arrive.

Now it has.

How to Roll on App.axie

Combine five Atia Original Crystals on App.axie to summon one Origin axie.

Step 1: Open app.axie and connect your wallet.

Step 2: Click the grid icon in the top bar, then select Summon an Origin Axie.

Step 3: Press Summon with 5 AOC.

Step 4: Sign the transaction in your wallet.

Step 5: Your new Origin axie is summoned

Every Origin axie has six body parts: eyes, ears, horn, mouth, back, and tail. When you roll, each of those six parts takes its own separate check to become Mystic, and each part has a 7% chance.

One part turning Mystic does not change the odds for any of the others. Every part rolls on its own. So a single Origin can be born with zero Mystic parts, one, or several on the same axie. Two is rare. Three or more is the stuff of legend.

Roll on App.axie

What Are Your Odds?

Every part you roll is a fresh 7% shot at Mystic, and with six parts on every Origin, the chances add up fast. Close to 1 in 3 rolls brings home an Origin carrying a Mystic part, so a Mystic result is well within reach on any given summon.

Landing two Mystic parts on one axie is a genuine standout, and three or more crosses into legend. To this day, no axie has ever carried above four. A five or six part Mystic has never existed.

The next roll could be the first.

The AOC Supply Today

There are 1,375 AOC left in circulation, enough to summon up to 275 new Origin axies. That is the entire runway.

Snapshot as of now:

• 1,232 AOC in a Sky Mavis owned wallet

• 143 AOC across other holder addresses

When the tokens migrated to Ronin, Sky Mavis reserved its AOC for future marketing and community rewards. Those distributions may support community contests, events and campaigns, and giveaways down the line.

Take Part in the Story

There is more than one way in. Roll your own Origin with five Atia Original Crystals, or bring home an Origin or Mystic that already exists.

• Buy Atia Original Crystals: https://app.axieinfinity.com/marketplace/materials/atia-original-crystal/

• Adopt Origin axies: https://app.axieinfinity.com/marketplace/axies/origin/?auctionTypes=Sale

• Adopt Mystic axies: https://app.axieinfinity.com/marketplace/axies/mystic/?auctionTypes=Sale

The crystals have been waiting since 2018. Now it is your turn to roll.

Five crystals. One Origin. 💎

Key Points

• AOC stands for Atia Original Crystal. The item traces back to Axie Origin Coins and the referral tokens from Axie’s 2018 Origin presale.

• Five AOC can summon one new Origin axie. Become one of the owner of the first 4,088 supply capped axie.

• AOC redemption is returning soon on Ronin. Each part will have an independent 7% chance to become Mystic.

Lunacia, one of Axie’s oldest stories is about to move again.

Before Ronin. Before Origins. Before millions of axies found homes across the world, there were Origin axies — the first collection at the foundation of the Axie universe.

Some of those Origins were born during the 2018 presale. Others were waiting inside a small but powerful token: Atia’s Original Crystal, or AOC.

Five AOC could summon one new Origin axie. Each of that axie’s six parts received its own chance to become Mystic.

The original rolling experience eventually went quiet. The remaining AOC later migrated from Ethereum to Ronin, but holders still could not complete the roll through a public redemption experience.

That changes soon.

Here is the story of AOC and why the next roll will complete a piece of unfinished Axie history.

February 2018: The Origin Presale Begins

Axie Infinity’s presale began in February 2018 and introduced the first axies to Lunacia.

Origin axies became the foundation of the broader axie population. Their supply was capped at 4,088, giving each one a permanent place in Axie history.

The presale also included a referral program. Early Lunacians could invite others into the movement and earn referral tokens. When that program ended, those tokens became known as Axie Origin Coins, or AOC.

Their purpose was simple: 5 AOC → 1 Origin axie

The Original AOC Roll

AOC gave holders another path to summon an Origin axie after the presale.

From the beginning of the 2018 presale, every Origin had a chance to receive Mystic parts. Every axie has six body parts, and each part received its own Mystic check:

• Eyes

• Ears

• Mouth

• Horn

• Back

• Tail

An axie has six body parts and Origin could therefore be born with no Mystic parts, one Mystic part, or in increasingly rare cases, several Mystic parts.

The AOC roll did more than create an Origin. It also carried the possibility of creating Mystic parts.

Mystic parts cannot be inherited through normal breeding. They are tied to the limited Origin creation process, which makes every AOC roll a moment of Axie history.

January 2024: AOC Comes Home to Ronin

On January 22, 2024, 1,375 unrolled AOC migrated from Ethereum to Ronin. At five AOC per roll, they represented the potential for 275 new Origin axies.

AOC later took on a new name: Atia Original Crystal.

The migration brought the remaining crystals home, but a public, user-facing redemption experience did not open at that time.

The crystals were on Ronin. The Origins inside them were still waiting.

August 2026: The Roll Returns

Soon, holders will be able to combine five Atia Original Crystals on App.axie and mint a new Origin axie from the 4,088 supply.

The upcoming roll keeps old mechanics where:

• An Origin has six body parts.

• Each part independently has a 7% chance to become Mystic.

• A single Origin may receive zero, one, or multiple Mystic parts.

Why This Roll Matters

AOC is more than a material.

It is a bridge between Axie’s earliest days and the Ronin era.

Every roll can bring a new high-ID Origin or even Mystic axies into Lunacia. Every part carries a chance to make that Origin even rarer. Every result continues a collection whose story began more than eight years ago.

Some holders earned their AOC through Axie’s earliest referral program. Others collected them later. Some have waited years for the roll to return.

Soon, they will be able to finish what those crystals started.

Five crystals. Six chances. One Origin.

More details are coming soon.

Stay tuned, Lunacia.

Classic Champions Invitational Update

Congratulations to Chan, our Season 15 Champion! Winning the season earns a Champions Invitational slot, but as a former Champion, Chan is already qualified, and so is our S15 Arena Leaderboard #1, JL. The slot passes down to Eshaz, the S15 Championship runner-up.

Two more players from Season 16 will earn their spot in the Champions Invitational and a shot at the 5,000 bAXS prize pool.

Looking Beyond Season 16

We also want to share an important update about Classic’s future.

After Season 16 and its Mini Tournaments wrap, we’ll be pausing regular competitive seasons and active development for Axie Classic. Classic quests will also be removed from the Bounty Board when everything wraps on September 10.

But this isn’t the end of Classic’s story.

We’re working toward handing Classic’s continued development and direction over to the community. The details aren’t settled yet, so Season 16 will be the final competitive season under the current structure. When the time comes, we’ll help get the handover off the ground, and from there, where Classic goes next is yours to shape.

Classic has been a big part of Axie’s history, and we’re grateful to everyone who returned, competed, hosted tournaments, and kept the game and its community alive.

One final leaderboard. One final round of Mini Tournaments. And two final spots in the Champions Invitational.

Let’s make Season 16 one to remember. ⚔️

Key Points

• 🧬 Multi-Collectible Part & Evolution Benefits are getting buffed. Collectible evolved parts will provide more Atia’s Flame, while evolving multiple parts on the same axie can multiply that boost by up to 2.8×.

• 🏘️ Terrariums Estates are coming. Connect adjacent Land plots to form an Estate and unlock an additional Atia’s Flame boost.

• 📅 Terrariums V1.2 goes LIVE August 19th at 3PM PHT.

Enter Terrariums

Terrariums has always been about bringing more of your Axie collection together.

V1 laid the foundation: bring your axies home, put them to work, and let your Land earn.

V1.1 expanded that foundation. Evolved parts, accessories, Land items, and Fortune Slips became new ways to raise your Atia’s Flame.

Now, V1.2 goes one step further.

Instead of only looking at the individual assets you own, we’re introducing more ways to reward how those assets come together.

Own an axie with multiple collectible parts? There’s more Flame waiting.

Evolve those parts? The benefits stack even further.

Own multiple connected Land plots? Bring them together into an Estate and boost your strongest Terrarium.

Let’s dig in 👇

Multi-Collectible Parts & Axie Evolution Benefits

Collectible axies with multiple evolved collectible parts are about to burn brighter.

We’ve been thinking about two things as we continue expanding Axie Core utility inside Terrariums:

How do we give more value to axies carrying multiple collectible parts?

And at the same time, how do we better reward Lunacians who go the extra mile and evolve those parts?

With V1.2, we’re bringing both together. We’ve increased the base Atia’s Flame provided by collectible evolved parts and significantly increased the multiplier for evolving multiple parts on the same axie.

The biggest change comes from the Evolved Part Count Multiplier, which now scales up to 2.8× for six evolved parts. That means concentrating your evolutions on a collectible axie can now have a much larger impact on its Atia’s Flame.

The more collectible parts you own and evolve on the same axie, the stronger that axie can become inside Terrariums.

💡 Pro-tip: Concentrating evolutions on the same collectible axie can unlock increasingly powerful multipliers. Six evolved parts now reach a massive 2.8× multiplier.

Adopt a collectible axie

Introducing Terrariums Estates

Your Land is stronger together.

Until now, every Land plot in Terrariums has largely stood on its own.

V1.2 introduces Estates: groups of connected Land plots that work together to unlock an additional Atia’s Flame boost.

An Estate is formed when your Land plots meet three conditions:

• They belong to the same Land Environment

• They are activated under the same Terrariums account

• They are directly adjacent to one another horizontally or vertically (diagonals don’t count)

The more plots you connect, the larger your potential Estate Boost.

But there’s one important detail. Which plot gets the boost?

The Estate Boost applies to one plot within your Estate at a time. But you don’t select it manually. Terrariums automatically applies it to whichever plot within the Estate currently has the highest Atia’s Flame.

Think of it as your Estate channeling its power into its strongest Terrarium.

Want another plot to receive the boost? Raise that plot’s Atia’s Flame until it becomes the highest within the Estate. Once it takes the top spot, the Estate Boost will move over on the next tick.

This means you still control where your Estate’s power goes, just by how you build and optimize your plots.

Build your Terrariums Estate

What’s Next

We covered more of the thought process behind these changes during today’s Lunacian Lounge.

V1 gave Land and axies a new way to work together.

V1.1 brought more of your collection into the equation through evolved parts, accessories, Land items, and Fortune Slips.

V1.2 expands that idea again. It goes LIVE August 19th at 3PM PHT.

And we’re not done yet. Once V1.2 is out, our next focus will shift toward expanding activity inside Terrariums and exploring more ways for Lunacians who don’t own Land to participate.

See you in the Terrariums 🌱

Key Points

• Axie Pin Drop is LIVE! Axie takes over Pin Drop, the free match-3 game from Good Vibes Club for one week until Aug 10. Play in your browser and climb four leaderboards for exclusive rewards.

• Nine Axie pins and one Grail to chase. Match pins to earn capsules, then rip them open to fill your collection. Every pin scores, and the rarer ones score higher.

• 5,889 limited-edition Axie accessories to win, plus a Good Vibes Club NFT, 250K $VIBESTR, 100 collectible axies, and a team of axies airdropped to every GVC holder who plays.

Play Axie Pin Drop

Axie Pin Drop is LIVE! For the next seven days, Axie takes over Pin Drop.

We teamed up with Good Vibes Club to bring Axie into the game. Axie Pin Drop runs Aug 3 through Aug 10, 9PM PHT | 9AM EDT.

Match pins to complete the full Axie set, climb the leaderboards, and win prizes exclusive to this event. Here’s how it works 👇

How to Get Started

Step 1: Go to pindropgame.com and start playing. Sign up to save your progress and pins.

Step 2: Pick a mode. Classic = 30 turns (strategy). Frenzy = 1 minute (speed). Both reward the same capsules.

Step 3: Match 3 or more pins to score. Bigger matches and combos earn more capsules.

Step 4: Open capsules. Each reveals a pin. During the event, capsules can drop limited-edition Axie pins.

Step 5: Fill the rarities, complete the set, and chase the Grail.

Note: you must connect your wallet to your profile to be prize eligible

How It Works

Pin Drop is a match-3 game with one goal: score high enough to win capsules, then rip them open for pins.

The loop is simple:

Match pins → win capsules → rip capsules → collect Axie pins → climb the boards.

The basics

• The board has 6 pin types on an 8x8 grid, with 30 turns to score as high as you can.

• Tap a pin, then tap one next to it to swap them.

• Match 3 or more of the same pin in a row or column to clear them and score.

• Cleared pins drop in fresh from above. Land another match and you get a cascade, boosting your multiplier for the rest of the turn.

Power moves

• Bomb (match 4): Blows up a 3x3 area around it.

• Laser Party (match 5): Wipes the full row and column.

• Cosmic Blast (match 6+): Clears every tile of that pin type from the whole board.

A few more moves worth knowing:

• Cosmic tier upgrade: Matching Cosmic pins upgrades the tile they spawn by one level, so a Cosmic match-4 spawns a Laser Party, and a match-5 spawns a Cosmic Blast.

• Chain reactions: Tap a special tile to set it off. If its blast hits another special tile, they chain for massive clears.

• Cascades: Each extra match from a single swap adds +100% to your score.

• Shape bonuses: L shapes score 1.5x, T shapes 2.5x, and Crosses 4x. T and Cross shapes also grant +1 Pin Capsule.

How to earn Pin Capsules

• Score 15K+ in a game to win 1 Capsule, 35K+ for 2, and 75K+ for 3.

• T and Cross shapes also grant +1 bonus capsule.

• You can earn capsules during your first 10 games each day, plus the Daily Challenge.

• Referrals earn you bonus capsules.

• Duplicate GVC pins can be rerolled for fresh capsules.

Note: only capsules won or rerolled during the event drop Axie pins. Capsules earned before the event will not drop Axie pins.

Pro tip: Hunt for Legendary and Cosmic pins first, since they multiply everything, and set up cascades with high-tier pins to blast past 15K.

Play Axie Pin Drop

Nine Axies and a Grail

The Axie set is nine pins across three rarities, plus the ultra-rare Kotaro Grail. The rarer the pin, the more each one scores toward the Points leaderboard:

• Grail (25 pts): Kotaro

• Mystic (10 pts each): Bubba, Olek, Puffy

• Epic (4 pts each): Momo, Mit, Venoki

• Rare (2 pts each): Ena, Tripp, Pomodoro

Complete all nine for +25 bonus points.

The Grail is the hardest pull in the event, capsule-only, and it has a leaderboard all its own.

Four Ways to Win

The event runs four leaderboards, each updating live as you play, with no cap on Points.

• Points: Your total from every pin collected, with rarer pins worth more. Top 3,000 win.

• Full Set Race: First to complete all nine, ranked by finish time. Top 500 win.

• Grail Chase: Ranked by how many Grail pins you pull. Top 150 win.

• GVC Holders: A Points ranking for verified GVC NFT holders only. Connect a GVC wallet, delegate wallets welcome. Top 100 win.

Note: This is a time-based event. The Full Set Race is ranked by time to completion, so the fastest to find all nine win. Everywhere else, speed is the first tiebreaker: reach any mark first and you’ll rank higher.

The Prizes

5,889 limited-edition Axie accessories are up for grabs across four GVC-inspired designs: the Ranger Helmet, Bubble Goggles, Pothead, and Shaka. These accessories are event-exclusive, so this is your only chance to earn them.

On top of the accessories:

• 1 Good Vibes Club NFT (#5598) to 1st place on the Points board.

• 250K $VIBESTR, split evenly by finishers #2-#51 at 5K each.

• 100 collectible Axies for the top 100 on the GVC Holders board.

• Full team of axies airdropped to every GVC holder who plays at least once.

All Axie rewards will be airdropped to qualifying winners one week after the event ends.

Here’s what each rank pulls:

Points Leaderboard rewards

Ranked by your total points, where rarer pins are worth more. Top 3,000 win Axie accessories.

Full Set Race rewards

Ranked by how fast you complete all nine pins. Top 500 win Axie accessories.

Grail Chase rewards

Ranked by how many Grail pins you pull. Top 150 win Axie accessories.

Key Points

• Terrariums V1.1 is LIVE! Accessories, land items, and Fortune Slips now raise your plot’s Atia’s Flame, joining the evolved part benefits that shipped July 15.

• Equip up to 5 accessories per axie and place up to 8 land items per plot. Match an item to your plot’s environment and the boost multiplies.

• Spend Fortune Slips for a 10% Flame buff. Every purchase adds 24 hours to the timer, and the buff runs down on its own.

Enter Terrariums

Atia’s Flame is the heart of each Terrarium. Every axie brings its life to the flame: birthright, accompaniments, evolved parts, devotion, and tended ground. The more an axie offers, the higher the flame climbs. The higher the flame, the more shards rise from the ground.

Birthright comes first. Every axie carries a measure of Atia’s Flame. Bloodlines vary in depth, and the strongest lines burn brightest from hatching.

Accompaniments come next. Some sit quiet: an idol, a talisman, a token of fortune. Some live, like a pot golem woken in Atia’s Flame, a spirit that stays at an axie’s side through the seasons.

Evolved parts stir the flame as well. An axie that has shed its hatchling shape draws more than any other, for its evolved parts were won in Atia’s own flame.

Devotion too, moves the flame. Those who give their days to the shrine, who tend it and pray before it, learn to call the fire higher than it would climb alone. Such mastery holds for a season, then needs renewal, for the flame answers only those who return to it.

Aesthetic excellence powers the flame, in ways that are still being understood. What is known: crystals, blooms, and adornments grace each plot, and every land bears its own. The Forest differs from the Arctic; the Arctic differs from the Savannah. A tended plot draws a richer answer from the flame, for the land rewards those who tend it.

Lately, the flames burn brighter and higher than in seasons past. Strength has been gathering across Lunacia. Plot by plot, beyond what quiet years would call for.

The might of the axies has awakened.

Today, the flame answers all of it. Terrariums V1.1 is LIVE!

V1 gave your land one job: mine bAXS every hour, powered by the axies you sent to the shrine. Rarity decided everything. The accessories in your inventory, the items you collected, the slips you prayed for: none of it reached the flame.

That changes now. Accessories, land items, and Fortune Slips all feed your plot’s Atia’s Flame, joining the evolved parts that went live July 15.

Here’s how to put them to work.

Enter Terrariums

The New Formula

V1.1 adds three new inputs to your Flame, on top of the evolved parts already live:

• Each axie carries Flame. Rarity sets its base, the way it did in V1. Evolved parts and accessories now add on top.

• Your plot totals that Flame. Add up every axie working the shrine. Land items and Fortune Slips then multiply the total, so they lift every axie on the plot at once.

• The pool splits by share. Every hour, each land category pays out a fixed pool of bAXS, divided between plots by how much Flame each one brings. Bring 5% of the Flame in your category, take 5% of the pool.

That’s the whole system. Raise your Flame, raise your share, raise your payout.

Accessories

Equip up to 5 accessories per axie, and each one adds Atia’s Flame directly. The boost scales with the accessory’s rarity and your axie’s collection. A Mystic axie with a Mystic accessory adds 9 Flame. A Normal axie with a Common accessory adds 0.1.

Accessories work in both modes. While your axie mines in the Shrine, they raise its Atia’s Flame. While it rests, they raise its AXP by rarity.

You can now equip accessories to your axies inside Terrariums, without leaving the game.

Go through your inventory before the next tick. Every accessory sitting idle is Flame your plot could be earning.

Grab accessories

Land Items

Land items were decoration for years. Today they earn.

Place up to 8 land items on your plot. Each one raises your plot’s Flame by rarity:

• Common: 0.05%

• Rare: 0.10%

• Epic: 0.75%

• Mystic: 1.5%

Land items lift your AXP too, climbing from 1% at Common to 4% at Mystic.

Environment decides how far each boost climbs. Match an item to your plot and a multiplier applies:

• Savannah, Forest, Arctic: ×1.2 on matching items

• Mystic: ×1.5 on matching items

• Genesis: ×1.2 on every item you place

• Luna’s Landing: ×1.5 on every item you place

Genesis and Luna’s Landing owners get the multiplier on everything, whatever environment the item came from. Everyone else earns it by matching, and items that clash still count at their base boost. Here’s the formula:

% Land Item Boost = ( Total % Boost of Matching Environment Items × Environment Multiplier ) + Total % Boost of Remaining Items

Take a Forest plot with six items placed:

• Matching (Forest): Common 0.05%, Rare 0.1%, Mystic 1.5%

• Non-matching: Savannah Rare 0.1%, Savannah Epic 0.75%, Arctic Epic 0.75%

The three Forest items total 1.65% and trigger the ×1.2 multiplier, which brings them to 1.98%. The other three add their base 1.6%. Together the plot earns a 3.58% Land Item Boost, applied to the Flame of every axie working the shrine.

Note: once a land item is placed and locked, it can’t be listed or traded until you unlock it again.

Grab land items

A Bigger Canvas

The map is larger now, with space to spread your items out and decide how your plot actually looks. Scroll left and right to take it in, and to find where your axies are hanging out or hiding.

With the extra room in place, this sets up for a future update that could let you move around the buildings and objects that sit locked on your land today.

Fortune Slips

Spend Fortune Slips to activate a buff that adds 10% Atia’s Flame to your plot.

Each buff runs 24 hours. Buy as many at once as you like, and every purchase adds another 24 hours to the timer. The buff runs by itself until the timer ends, so you can buy several days at once and leave your plot alone without a daily check-in.

The buff starts the instant you activate it, not on the next tick, and runs 24 hours from that moment. If you activate at 1:30PM, it expires at 1:30PM the next day, so the final 1–2PM tick falls outside the window and misses the bonus. Activate just after a tick to capture the most full ticks.

Note: the 10% doesn’t stack, so extra purchases extend the time rather than the strength.

Buffs apply per plot, and the cost scales with your land type:

• Savannah: 3 slips

• Forest: 8 slips

• Arctic: 22 slips

• Mystic: 48 slips

• Genesis: 960 slips

• Luna’s Landing: 2,880 slips

To earn Fortune Slips, hold a collectible axie and pray to Atia daily.

Adopt a collectible axie

New to Fortune Slips? Learn how they work.

Play Your Collection Right

Terrariums rewards placement. The same collection earns differently depending on which axie carries your evolves, which plot holds your rarest items, and which category your axies mine in. Four decisions worth making:

• Evolves. Concentrate them on one axie. Five parts hit the ×1.45 multiplier and stack their Flame, while one part each across five axies stays at ×1.0.

• Land items. They multiply your plot’s total Flame rather than adding to one axie, so they pay hardest where your rarest axies work. Put your Mystic items on that plot.

• Fortune Slips. The buff is a flat 10% on any plot, so a Savannah costs 3 slips for the same lift Luna’s Landing charges 2,880 for.

• Plot Categories. Your share depends on the total Flame of every mining plot in your category. A quieter category can pay better, even from a lesser plot. Check which categories have low total Flame before you place.

Lunacia Woke Up Before We Shipped

We announced V1.1 on July 1. Lunacians started building for it that week, before a single benefit went live:

• 2,249 axies bred, up 49% week over week

• 1,864 part evolutions started, up 40%

• 4,862 ascension events, up 21%

• 134 Mystic ascensions, twelve times the week before

Then came July 14, the day before evolved parts went live. In 24 hours, finished evolutions climbed 92.8%, evolutions started climbed 58.5%, and Mystic ascensions ran 29 times their usual rate.

The wider market followed. Over the past 30 days, Axie ranked first among all gaming NFT collections by volume on OpenSea at 191.8 ETH, with Axie Land second at 92.7 ETH and Axie Consumable Item sixth.

It’s always been Axie.

What’s Next

V1.1 closes the loop the sneak peek opened. Evolved parts, accessories, land items, and Fortune Slips all reach the Flame now.

V1.2 moves up a level, from what sits on your axies to how your holdings work together:

• Estate multipliers: Rewards for holding your plots together rather than scattered.

• Multiple collectible parts buff: Flame for axies carrying several collectible parts at once.

We’ll share the details as V1.2 gets closer.

Everything in V1.1 came from Lunacians telling us what was broken and what was missing. Local Lunium recovery, the tick interface, every buff in this post: you asked, we shipped. Keep the feedback coming and we’ll keep building what you actually want.

How to Get Started

New to Classic? Getting started takes minutes. Our onboarding guide walks you through every step: Axie Classic Onboarding Flow

Play Classic

Key Points

• Evolved parts now raise your axie’s Atia’s Flame in Terrariums, giving your plot a bigger share of the bAXS pool.

• Rarer pairings give more Flame per part, and evolving several parts on one axie multiplies the total.

• Evolved collectible parts also generate more Fortune Slips for that axie.

Enter Terrariums

Every axie you evolved carries a story. Hours of battles, levels climbed, Mementos spent to shape a part into something your own.

Until now, that work lived on your axie and stopped there.

Starting today, it lives on your land.

Evolved Part Benefits are live in Terrariums. Every part you have evolved raises your axie’s Atia’s Flame, and a higher Flame means a bigger cut of the bAXS pool each tick.

Here’s how it works.

How Evolved Parts Raise Your Flame

Your Evolved Part Boost comes from two things: how rare each evolved part is, and how many parts you have evolved on that axie.

Each evolved part adds a Flame value set by your axie’s collection and the part’s collection. Rarer pairings hit harder. A Shiny axie with an evolved Shiny part adds 10 Flame, the same axie with an evolved Japanese part adds 8, and with a normal part adds 4.

The More You Evolve, the Higher the Multiplier

Evolving several parts on one axie compounds the reward. Once you total the Flame from every evolved part, a multiplier scales it based on how many you evolved:

• 1 part: ×1.0

• 2 parts: ×1.1

• 3 parts: ×1.2

• 4 parts: ×1.3

• 5 parts: ×1.45

• 6 parts: ×1.68

Note: the rarer your axie, the more each evolved part is worth on it. That’s why the same part gives different Flame in the two examples below.

Here’s a full example. Take a Mystic axie with:

• 1 evolved Shiny part: 20 Flame

• 2 evolved Nightmare parts: 14 each, so 28 Flame

• 1 evolved normal part: 6 Flame

That’s 54 Flame across 4 evolved parts. Apply the 4-part multiplier (×1.3), and the axie’s Evolved Part Boost comes to 70.2.

Now take a Christmas axie with:

• 1 evolved Xmas part: 10 Flame

• 1 evolved Shiny part: 10 Flame

• 2 evolved Nightmare parts: 8 each, so 16 Flame

• 1 evolved Normal part: 4 Flame

That’s 40 Flame across 5 evolved parts. Apply the 5-part multiplier (×1.45), and the axie’s Evolved Part Boost comes to 58.

Pro-tip: Concentrate your evolves on one axie. Five parts hit the ×1.45 multiplier and stack their Flame, while one part each across five stays at ×1.0.

Note: evolving raises your Atia’s Flame, but your AXP earnings remains the same.

Evolved Collectible Parts Earn More Fortune Slips

Collectible parts have always generated Fortune Slips for the axies that carry them. Evolving those parts increases the slips that axie earns.

So a single evolution pays you twice. Your Flame climbs, and your slips climb with it.

How to Evolve Your Axie

Evolving takes three steps:

• Earn AXP to level up your axie from playing Axie games, feeding Cocochoco, or resting your axies in Terrariums.

• Ascend your axie at Lv. 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50

• Spend Mementos and AXS or bAXS to evolve the part you choose

Origins S18 Timeline

Mark your calendars! Here’s the schedule for each era in S18:

• July 8: Rare Era

• July 22: Epic Era

• August 5: Mystic Era

• August 19: Final Era

• September 2: S18 Ends

bAXS Rewards

bAXS (Bonded AXS) is a non-transferable utility token backed 1:1 by AXS. It can be used for breeding, ascending, evolving, and staking, but cannot be transferred between accounts. This keeps value circulating within the Axie ecosystem and rewards players who are here for the long run.

Converting bAXS to AXS requires a Treasury fee scaled to your Axie Score. Mythkeepers and other high-reputation players enjoy significantly lower fees, rewarding long-term dedication over short-term farming.

Learn more about Axie Score

In S18, the Top 2,000 players will share an 80K bAXS prize pool. The Rare Era alone features 20K bAXS in rewards, alongside additional bonus incentives.

Competitive Integrity Checks

Keeping Origins fair is a top priority. Era rewards will be held until each check is complete so legitimate players can trust that the leaderboard reflects real competition, not just at season’s end but throughout.

Multi-accounting and leaderboard manipulation will result in a permanent ban from Axie Origins. No exceptions.

Reminder: Collectible Chest Rewards

The Collectible Chest pool returns with 10,000 bAXS up for grabs and like season rewards, Collectible Chest payouts will be in bAXS.

The rules are the same: finish the Rare Era at Tiger rank or higher while holding your Collectible Axie for the entire era to earn Collectible Chests. Open them for Tickets, then redeem those Tickets for your share of the bAXS pool.

Key Points

• V1 drove big jumps in land and axie volume across the ecosystem.

• Accessories, evolved parts, land items, and Fortune Slips will feed your plot’s Atia’s Flame in V1.1. An updated formula ties them together.

• We’ve read everything you’ve sent since launch. The first changes ship July 2. Keep the feedback coming.

Enter Terrariums

Two weeks ago, we shipped the first iteration of Terrariums. As a first draft, it hit many of the major notes we were aiming for. Rare axie collections got a new headline use case. A majority of land has been locked up in the terrarium system. Land and axie volume has soared.

We want Terrariums to be a sandbox for giving use cases to the Axie Core mechanics and NFTs that have been overlooked the Axie ecosystem.

So with version 1.1, we’ll be introducing features that leverage accessories, evolved parts, Land items, and Fortune Slips to bestow greater Atia’s Flame to your Land Plots.

Let’s dig into the details below:

The First Week by the Numbers

V1 shipped with a single mechanic: your land mines bAXS every hour. In its first week, Terrariums moved real volume, with activity rising across the Axie ecosystem:

• ~3.32B Lunium sold in the first week

• $95,753 in Lunium revenue

• 52.78% of all 16,886 land plots activated and locked

• Collectible floors climbed across every type since the launch date reveal

• $520,551 in collectible volume, $193,316 in land volume

We gave land a real reason to hold axies, and demand for both followed. Now your plots and axies work as one, earning every hour, active or idle.

We laid the foundation in V1. Now we build on it.

New Reward Formulas

In V1, your share came down to the Atia’s Flame your axies bring against everyone else mining in your land category. V1.1 keeps that core and adds new ways to raise your Flame at three levels: the axie, the plot, and a temporary buff.

It starts with each axie. An axie’s power now grows with the evolved parts and accessories it carries:

Individual Axies' Flame = Base Atia’s Flame + Evolved Part Boost + Accessory Boost

Add up the Flame of every working axie on your plot, then apply your plot-level bonuses:

Your Plot's Flame = Round down [ Total of ALL Individual Working Axies’ Flame x ( 1 + % Land Item Boost ) x ( 1 + Fortune Slips Buff )

Each tick (one hourly payout), your shared comes from how your plot’s Flame stacks up against everyone else in your land category:

bAXS per tick = Your Plot's Flame ÷ Total Flame of all mining plots in your category × Total bAXS pool for that category

In V1.1, four new inputs feed that formula. Evolved parts and accessories raise each axie, land items lift your whole plot, and Fortune Slips add a temporary buff on top. Here’s how each one works.

Evolved Parts

Evolving an axie raises its Atia’s Flame, and the boost scales with how rare the evolved part is and how many parts you evolve.

Each evolved part adds a Flame value set by your axie’s collection and the part’s collection. Rarer pairings hit harder. For example, a Shiny axie with an evolved Shiny part adds 10 Flame, the same axie with an evolved Japanese part adds 8, and with a normal part adds 4.

The more parts you evolve on a single axie, the higher the multiplier:

• 1 part: ×1.0

• 2 parts: ×1.1

• 3 parts: ×1.2

• 4 parts: ×1.3

• 5 parts: ×1.45

• 6 parts: ×1.68

Note: the rarer your axie, the more each evolved part is worth on it. That’s why the same part gives different Flame in the two examples below.

Here’s a full example. Take a Mystic axie with:

• 1 evolved Shiny part: 20 Flame

• 2 evolved Nightmare parts: 14 each, so 28 Flame

• 1 evolved normal part: 6 Flame

That’s 54 Flame across 4 evolved parts. Apply the 4-part multiplier (×1.3), and the axie’s Evolved Part Boost comes to 70.2.

Here’s another example. Take a Christmas axie with:

• 1 evolved Xmas part: 10 Flame

• 1 evolved Shiny part: 10 Flame

• 2 evolved Nightmare parts: 8 each, so 16 Flame

• 1 evolved Normal part: 4 Flame

That’s 40 Flame across 5 evolved parts. Apply the 5-part multiplier (×1.45), and the axie’s Evolved Part Boost comes to 58.

This raises your Atia’s Flame, while your AXP remains the same.

If you want to evolve your axie, here’s how:

• Earn AXP by playing Axie games, feeding Cocochoco, or resting your axies in Terrariums

• Ascend your axie at Lv. 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50

• Spend Mementos and AXS or bAXS to evolve the part you choose

Pro-tip: Concentrate your evolves on one axie. Five parts hit the ×1.45 multiplier and stack their Flame, while one part each across five stays at ×1.0.

If everything goes according to plan, evolved part utility arrives in the next few weeks, separately from the rest of V1.1.

Evolve your axie

New to evolving? Read the Axie Evolution overview to see how it works.

Accessories

You can equip up to 5 accessories per axie. Each one adds Atia’s Flame directly, scaled to the accessory’s rarity and your axie’s collection.

The rarer the axie and accessory, the bigger the boost. A Mystic axie with a Mystic accessory adds 9 Flame, while a Normal axie with a Common accessory adds 0.1.

Accessories help in both modes. While your axie mines in the Shrine, they boost its Atia’s Flame. While it rests, they boost its AXP by rarity.

Land Items

For a long time, land items were decoration and nothing more. In V1.1, they finally have functionality on your land, boosting both your Atia’s Flame and AXP earning potential.

You can place up to 8 land items on your plot. Each item raises your plot’s Flame by rarity:

• Common: 0.05%

• Rare: 0.10%

• Epic: 0.75%

• Mystic: 1.5%

Land items boost your AXP too, climbing from 1% at Common to 4% at Mystic.

Your item and plot environments matter too. Matching them adds a multiplier to the Atia’s Flame boost. Items that don’t match still count at their base boost, so a mix works fine. The full formula is in the graphic above.

Pick up land items on the marketplace and put them to work.

Grab land items

Fortune Slips

In V1.1, you can now spend Fortune Slips to activate a buff that adds a 10% Atia’s Flame boost to your plot.

Each buff lasts 24 hours, and you can buy as many at once as you like, with every purchase adding another 24 hours to the timer. The buff counts down on its own, so there’s no need to check back every day to keep it active. Note: the 10% boost itself doesn’t stack, so buying more extends the time, not the strength.

Buffs apply per plot, so buy one for each plot you want boosted. The cost scales with your land type:

• Savannah: 3 slips

• Forest: 8 slips

• Arctic: 22 slips

• Mystic: 48 slips

• Genesis: 960 slips

• Luna’s Landing: 2,880 slips

To earn Fortune Slips, hold a collectible axie and pray to Atia daily.

How Your Feedback Is Shaping V1.1

We’re putting the full V1.1 picture out ahead of launch on purpose. We want you reading the numbers, testing the math against your own collection, and sending us your feedback. Some of these updates roll out in the coming weeks, and your feedback shapes how they land.

And we’re listening. We’ve read all the feedback since launch, and two updates are now in the pipeline:

Recover Local Lunium while spending Global

Right now, your plot has to refill its Local pool all the way to full before it can mine again, and while you spend Global, that Local pool sits idle and doesn’t regenerate.

With this update, your Local pool keeps recovering even as you mine on Global, and that recovery is credited toward your Global cost. You might expect the credit to equal your full recovery rate, but recovery only counts while a plot rests, not while it mines.

Take a Mystic plot. It mines at 600 Lunium per tick and recovers 120, which means for every tick it mines, it would take 5 ticks to recover that Lunium. Average that recovery across the full 6-tick cycle, and it comes to 100 per tick, not 120. So while you spend Global, your Local recovery covers part of the cost, bringing it down from 600 to 500 per tick.

This update ships July 2, ahead of the rest of V1.1.

Reworking the tick system’s interface

The hourly tick logic can get complicated, so we’re reworking the UI and UX to make what’s happening on your plot clearer at a glance.

Keep the feedback coming so we can ship what matters most to you. We’ll share more as launch gets closer.

Key Points

• Playtest 3 brings a new PvP mode across 6 scheduled sessions. 8 Lunacians, free-for-all, first to 10 kills takes the crown.

• Five weapons, three new features, and identical stats where skill alone decides the match.

• Compete in the Trial of Eight: 1 AXS entry, three prize events, 2,500 bAXS up for grabs.

6,000 Lunacians descended into Lunacia’s ancient dungeon in Playtest 2. The rebuilt combat system brought faster action and fights won by skill. Yet one question lingered in the torchlight: when the threats have been defeated who among you stands strongest?

The dungeon taught you to survive. The trials will reveal who you are.

Playtest 3 is all about PvP. For four days, you will face 8 rivals in a free-for-all to the death. Only the strongest Lunacians will survive. It’s time to sharpen your skills, climb above the rest, and claim your place as the strongest warriors in Lunacia. Do you have what it takes?

The gates are open. Let the battle begin.

New PvP Mode: Free-for-All Deathmatch

Every warrior starts the same way: alone, in the open, surrounded by rivals who want the crown as much as you do. That’s the free-for-all. Eight players enter a 5-minute session, and the first to reach 10 kills or hold the highest kill-to-death ratio walks away the champion.

The map matters as much as your weapon. Designed for this playtest, it gives you bushes to hide in, walls to block attacks, and a special power-ups that grants buffs. Use the map to your advantage and ambush your opponents.

Here’s how to step into your first match:

Step 1: Download Atia’s Legacy from App.axie (For iOS, install TestFlight first)
Step 2: Sign in using your email and invite code
Step 3: Talk to Mei in the Town Hall
Step 4: Select PvP Combat
Step 5: Equip your weapon and click Find Match

Atia’s Legacy is playable on iOS, Android, and PC. Read this support article for a full guide.

4-Day Playtest, 6 Sessions

The purpose of this playtest is to introduce real-time PvP and stress-test latency to see if the server holds when many players queue at once. That’s why we’ve curated 6 focused sessions across the four days, so everyone can have the smoothest experience going into matches without long queues.

Refer to the graphic above for the time slots and mark your calendar so you don’t miss the session you plan to join.

Note: The Mystic owners-only session wrapped on June 30. Thank you to everyone who joined!

Five Weapons

In Playtest 3, we’re focusing on five weapons: axe, dagger, tome, bow, and lantern. Each opens a different play style, from tank to assassin, marksman, artillery, and mage. Here’s a recap of each weapon’s skills:

• Axe: High-damage bruiser with repeating strikes.

• Dagger: Dash and teleport for fast, agile strikes.

• Tome: Ranged magic nuker with crowd control.

• Bow: Ranged physical dealer that hits multiple lines.

• Lantern: Hybrid damage dealer with area-of-effect bursts.

Within a category, every weapon shares identical stats. The axe you wield matches your opponent’s axe exactly, so skill decides the fight, not gear. What your weapon changes is your Movement Speed, Max HP, and Stamina Regen. Test all five, find the one that fights like you do, and dominate the trials.

New Axie Features

Beyond the basic attack, ultimate, and dash, Playtest 3 brings three new features that change how you fight:

• Speed Up: A new skill button that boosts your axie’s movement speed while active.

• HP Regen: Recover HP when you stay out of combat for 5 seconds.

• Respawn: After a defeat, move your axie to the spot where you want to return.

Speed up to run down a fleeing opponent, or slip into the bushes to heal and fight another round. How you use them is the difference between a good run and a winning one.

Note: Every axie in this playtest carries the exact same stats, including Mystic axies. There are no passive skills or stat differences from axie parts.

The Mushroom

Sometimes the trials offer a gift, and the Lunacian brave enough to take it pulls ahead. The mushroom is a new PvP power-up that spawns at random across the map. Smash it to get one of three buffs: increased movement speed, attack damage, HP regen, or all three at once if you get lucky.

These buffs can be stacked on top of each other and last until you’re defeated, at which point you’ll lose all your buffs. Taking down a buffed opponent lets you steal half of what they carried. The longer you survive, the deadlier you become, and the bigger the target on your back.

The PvP Challenge: Trial of Eight

Glory is its own reward, but the arena offers more. Trial of Eight brings live competition to Dojo with three prize events and 2,500 bAXS on the line.

One entry unlocks all three. Pay 1 AXS entry fee, and you’re in for every event below:

Main Event Leaderboard — 1,500 bAXS

The heart of the Trial. Climb across the reward sessions, where wins, kills, and K/D ratio decide who rises to the top.

The Kill Race — 500 bAXS

A hunt for the most kills across the reward sessions. Stack your eliminations and claim your share.

The Letter Race — 500 bAXS

Every 5 kills earns a roll, and every roll draws a random letter. Spell out “TRIAL OF EIGHT” to complete the phrase. The first to finish ranks highest. Rolls open July 2, 04:00 UTC and close July 4, 18:00 UTC.

Reward sessions run from Session 3 through 6.

Your 1 AXS entry must be confirmed before Session 3 begins on July 2, 04:00 UTC.

How to enter:

Step 1: Go to Dojo and sign in
Step 2: Link the Ronin wallet you’ll use for the event
Step 3: Press Enter Competition
Step 4: Pay 1 AXS entry fee
Step 5: Wait for Dojo to verify your payment, then play the scheduled sessions

Track every leaderboard in the Events tab, and follow your progress and standings from your Dojo profile. Full payout breakdowns live in the Events tab.

Your 1 AXS entry fee is eligible for refund if you have a valid verified entry and play at least 10 total scheduled Playtest 3 matches. Eligible refunds are processed manually with rewards after Dojo review.

Key Points

• Terrariums V1 is LIVE! Activate your plots, send your axies to their Atia’s Shrines, and watch your land earn bAXS every hour. It’s the first step toward the Land vision we shared back in 2019. With this release, Homeland has officially sunset.

• Your plots start empty and spend the opening 48 hours recharging. The First Earning Tick lands June 19 at 07:00 UTC, so use the window to activate your land and set up your plots. Top up Global Lunium to mine from the very first tick.

• Top up during the 7-Day Flash Sale: Every Essentials package comes with a Lunium boost of up to 50% for the first seven days, and bigger packages earn bigger bonuses. The new Blessings package opens once the sale ends.

Enter Terrariums

Terrariums are as old as Lunacia itself.

Listening to the land, the planet’s first inhabitants marked plots based on the rhythms of the soil and stone. Then they built shrines to mark where the ground had spoken.

When Atia came, he placed eternal flames in each shrine. Upon his death, his heart became the moon, and its pulse fell into rhythm with the energy of the land. The heavens and earth united in an eternal heartbeat.

During the great war, the moon burst and its shards rained across Lunacia, pieces of Atia’s heart driven into the land. They gathered in the nodes where his essence had always run strong.

Terrariums are the fertile lands surrounding these ancient shrines, the spiritual and functional foundation of axie life.

Axies live their lives protecting these sanctuaries. Here they breed and raise their young, with bloodlines sharing the same ground for generations. A Terrarium becomes home to a lineage: elders who remember the old wars, and hatchlings born into peace. Over time, each Terrarium earns a history of its own, woven through every axie who lives, works, battles, and is laid to rest on its hallowed grounds.

A thriving Terrarium carries as many as thirty axies. Some work the shrine, feeding its flame and harvesting shards. Others train, building their strength hour by hour. When the war drums sound, these same axies are called to action.

Through all of it, one rhythm continues. Once an hour, Atia’s heart pulses in the sky, and the planet beats with it. The moonlight brightens for half a breath, the flame stirs, and the shards rise. Every Terrarium answers the same beat at the same moment, and Lunacia steps one hour on.

Today, your land answers the beat. Terrariums V1 is LIVE!

V1 is the first step toward the Land vision we shared in 2019. It’s lightweight and passive by design. Think of it as gamified staking that respects your time. The core loop is simple:

Activate your land → Assign your axies → Consume Lunium per Tick → Earn bAXS every hour.

We’re starting small and solid, then growing the world from here. More gameplay and features are coming in future updates, so stay tuned.

Here’s everything you need to know:

Enter Terrariums

How to Get Started

1. Go to terrariums.axieinfinity.com

2. Connect your wallet

3. Activate your land and add your axies in the Registry

4. Assign axies to Atia’s Shrine to provide Atia’s Flame

5. Spend Lunium each Tick to earn bAXS

Don’t own land? A plot is what pays out bAXS, so pick one up on app.axie to start earning. If you want to explore before you buy, you can claim a free plot and roam Terrariums right away. It comes with 10 axie slots, no earnings, and no AXP, but a full look at how the world works. Read the support article for more details.

Buy a Land Plot

2 Days to Prepare Before the First bAXS

Terrariums is now live, and your plots start empty. Activating your land puts it into resting mode, where it recharges Local Lunium over about five days. Earning doesn’t begin yet, so use these two days to activate your land, bring your axies in, and set up your plots the way you want.

The First Earning Tick begins on June 19 at 07:00 UTC. From that point, your land mines every hour around the clock.

Here’s the catch: free Local Lunium can’t be spent until it fully recharges, which takes about five days. Earning starts in two. So a plot on Local Lunium alone earns nothing at the First Earning Tick. Top up Global Lunium during the 7-Day Flash Sale and your land mines from the very first earning tick.

Core Mechanics: Basic Terms to Know

Here are the core terms to know before you dive in:

• Tick: The hourly heartbeat of Terrariums. Every hour, your land burns Lunium, draws Atia’s Flame from your axies, and earns its share of the bAXS pool. Any changes you make to a plot take effect on the next Tick.

• Lunium: The off-chain resource that powers your land and lets it earn bAXS. Comes in two types, Global and Local (more below).

• Atia’s Flame: Your axie power. The rarer your axies, the more Flame they bring, and the bigger your share of the bAXS pool.

Global and Local Lunium

There are two types of Lunium:

• Global Lunium is purchased Lunium. You can buy it in the in-game shop starting at $0.99 for 25,000 Lunium, with no cap on how much you hold. It works across every plot under your account.

• Local Lunium is free. Each plot generates it slowly on its own, roughly five days of regen for one day of earning at full pace, and it’s capped per plot.

Top up if you want full speed, or let it tick over at its own pace.

You can also choose which Lunium to spend first:

• Prioritize Global: spends Global first, then rolls into Local once it runs out.

• Prioritize Local: spends Local only, then stops without touching your Global.

Lunium Packages

You can stock up two ways in the in-game Shop, under Essentials and Blessings.

Essentials give you Lunium instantly, in whatever amount suits you:

• Lunium Stash: 25,000 Lunium at $0.99

• Lunium Cache: 131,250 Lunium at $4.99

• Lunium Vault: 575,000 Lunium at $19.99

• Lunium Trove: 1,562,500 Lunium at $49.99

• Lunium Hoard: 3,375,000 Lunium at $99.99

The Lunium Blessing ($9.99) drips 11,000 Lunium into your Global Lunium Reserve every day for 30 days, 330,000 in total. Claim it daily, and if you miss a day, it stacks until you come back. For players who plan to keep their land running around the clock, the steady daily drip makes it one of the best value-per-dollar options. Blessings becomes available in the Shop once the 7-Day Flash Sale ends.

7-Day Flash Sale

For the first seven days of launch, every Essentials package comes with a Lunium boost of up to 50%, and the bigger the package, the bigger the bonus. Stock up while the boost lasts.

Note: Revenue from Lunium sales goes to a Sky Mavis-controlled wallet, where it’s used to strengthen the Axie economy in meaningful ways, such as buying axies.

Maximizing Your Atia’s Flame

Your Atia’s Flame decides your share of the bAXS pool, so the goal is simple: bring as much Flame onto your plots as you can. Rarer axies carry more Atia’s Flame than common ones. A normal axie brings 5, while a Mystic brings 1,000, so a handful of rare axies can outweigh a plot full of commons.

To earn from that Flame, your axies must be in Atia’s Shrine. Only axies in the Shrine generate Atia’s Flame and earn bAXS, while any axies left outside earn AXP each Tick instead. From there it comes down to slots: owned plots hold 30 axies and free plots hold 10, so fill every slot with the rarest axies you own.

Note: Axies and plots listed for sale on App.axie can’t be used in Terrariums. The reverse is also true: axies and plots locked in Terrariums can’t be listed for sale or transferred. Delist or unlock first before moving them between the two.

Pro-tip: Axies you’ve delegated can stay delegated and still work on your own Terrariums. No need to end your delegation.

Adopt a Collectible Axie

How Rewards are Calculated

Each plot type shares a set bAXS prize pool, split between owners by the Atia’s Flame they bring each Tick.

For example, an Arctic plot has a monthly pool of 38,893 bAXS, paid out at 54.02 bAXS per Tick across every Arctic owner. Your share depends on how much Atia’s Flame your axies bring against the total Atia’s Flame of all actively mining plots in that category.

Here’s the formula:

In Homeland, every plot had a fixed AXS ceiling, whereas in Terrariums, your earnings move with your category depending on the total Atia’s Flame of all actively mining plots in that category and how well your plot stacks up against them.

Pro-tip: Your share depends on the total Atia’s Flame of all actively mining plots in your category. A category with less Flame can pay better, even if that plot ranks below your best. If you own different land types and many collectible axies, check which categories have low Flame first. Spreading your axies there can earn you a bigger share than placing them all on one plot. V1 works fine if you play passively, but a little planning can boost your rewards.

What’s Next for Terrariums

V1 is the foundation. The world is live and your land is earning, but this is only the starting point. From here, each update adds more depth and ties your collection deeper into how your land performs.

V1.1

• Land item placement and buff

• Evolved parts buff

• Accessories buff

• Fortune Slips utility

V1.2

• Estate multipliers

• Multiple collectible parts buff

Each of these gives you new ways to build, optimize, and stand out, connecting Axie Core mechanics more closely to how you earn in Terrariums. We’ll share the full details as each update nears.

FAQ

Q: Does Homeland progress carry over, and can I still earn AXP from it?
A: No. Terrariums starts fresh, and Homeland is fully sunset.

Q: Do I need to revoke my land delegation?
A: No. All delegations are revoked automatically at sunset, and the delegation site is deprecated.

Q: Can I use axies I’ve delegated to others?
A: Yes. They stay delegated and still power your own Terrariums.

Q: Can I use axies someone delegated to me?
A: V1 counts axies you own directly. Delegated-to-you support arrives later.

Q: Can I list axies or plots while using them?
A: No. Locked axies and plots can’t be listed or transferred. Unlock them first.

Q: Will land items, axie levels, or evolved parts matter?
A: V1 lays the foundation. These arrive from v1.1 onward.

Q: Is Lunium a tradable token?
A: No. It’s an off-chain resource and can’t be traded.

Q: What can I buy Lunium with?
A: bAXS, AXS, USDC, and WETH. No exchange rate on bAXS purchases.

Q: Can I earn bAXS without buying Lunium?
A: Yes, but slowly. On an owned plot, free Local Lunium can’t be spent until it fully recharges (~5 days), so it earns in cycles, not continuously. Free trial plots don’t earn.

Q: Can I earn AXP without Lunium?
A: Yes. Axies always earn AXP per tick, even without Lunium, but only while they aren’t contributing Atia’s Flame to the plot.

Q: What happens during the two days before earning?
A: Your plots recharge. Nothing is spent or earned until the First Earning Tick.

Q: When does the First Earning Tick begin?
A: June 19 at 07:00 UTC. From then, your land mines every hour.

Q: Why is my plot not earning on June 19?
A: Free Local Lunium can’t be spent until fully recharged (~5 days), so a Local-only plot isn’t ready yet. Buy Global Lunium to earn right away.

Q: Should I buy Global Lunium before earning begins?
A: Yes, to earn from the first tick. Global is spendable right away, with up to 50% bonus during the 7-Day Flash Sale.

Q: Is purchased Lunium tied to one plot or all of them?
A: Global works across every plot on your account. Local stays on the plot that made it.

Q: Where does Lunium revenue go?
A: To a Sky Mavis-controlled wallet, used to strengthen the Axie economy, such as buying axies.

Q: What is Total Plot Category Atia’s Flame in the formula?
A: The combined Flame of all actively mining plots in your category that Tick. Only plots with both Flame and Lunium count.

Q: What happens when a plot runs out of Lunium?
A: It rests and recharges Local Lunium. Axies leave the Shrine and earn AXP until it’s full, then return on their own.

Q: Why is my plot not regenerating Local Lunium?
A: It won't regenerate if the plot isn't activated yet, or if you are currently consuming Lunium (whether it is Local or Global). Local Lunium only regenerates while the plot is in resting mode.

Key Points

• Terrariums V1 goes live June 17th! V1 turns your Land into a living home for your axies, where the world ticks forward and earns on its own every hour. This article covers everything you need to know before launch.

• Your land and axies decide your earnings: Rewards scale with your land tier and your axie power, called Atia’s Flame. The rarer your axies and the higher your plot, the bigger your share of the bAXS pool.

• A full mechanics breakdown and FAQ: We’ll walk through the Tick, Lunium, Atia’s Flame, and how rewards are calculated, plus an FAQ covering common questions on Homeland sunset, AXP, and more.

Terrariums V1 goes live June 17th! Back in 2019, we shared a vision for Land. A place where your axies actually lived, biomes you could walk through, a world that grew around your collection. On June 17th, that vision takes its first real step.

Activate your plots, bring your axies home, and watch your land earn bAXS every hour. The better you optimize your land and axies, the more you earn.

Terrariums V1 is here, and this is only the beginning.

Here’s everything you need to know before it goes live:

What to expect in Terrariums V1

Terrariums V1 is lightweight and passive by design. Think of it as gamified staking, built to respect your time. The core loop is simple:

Activate your land → Assign your axies → Consume Lunium per tick → Earn bAXS every hour.

This is the first honest step toward the full 2019 Land vision. We’re starting small and solid, then growing the world from there. More active gameplay and features are coming in future updates, so stay tuned.

What is the Tick?

The Tick is the hourly heartbeat of Terrariums. Every hour, your land consumes Lunium, earns bAXS, and keeps moving while you’re off doing other things. Run out of Lunium and your axies switch to earning AXP instead on each tick, so your land is always doing something. The better you optimize each tick, the more you take home.

What is Lunium?

Lunium is a new off-chain resource that powers your land and lets it earn bAXS. Your earnings then scale with your axie power, called Atia’s Flame. The reward structure works like the Bounty Board: each plot type shares a prize pool, and that pool is split between owners based on the Atia’s Flame they hold.

There are two types of Lunium:

• Global Lunium is purchased Lunium. You can buy it in the in-game shop starting at $0.99 for 25,000 Lunium, with no cap on how much you hold. It works across every plot under your account.

• Local Lunium is free. Each plot generates it slowly on its own, roughly five days of regen for one day of earning at full pace, and it’s capped per plot.

Top up if you want full speed, or let it tick over at its own pace. Both are fine.

You can also choose which Lunium to spend first:

• Prioritize Global: consumes Global first, then rolls into Local once it runs out.

• Prioritize Local: consumes Local only, then stops without touching your Global.

What is Atia’s Flame?

Atia’s Flame is your axie power, and it decides how much bAXS your plot earns. The amount depends on the rarity of your axies. For example, a normal axie carries 5 Flame, while a Mystic carries 1,000. The rarer the axie, the more Atia’s Flame it brings, and the more you generate each hour, the bigger your share of the rewards.

Pro-tip: every plot has a slot limit of 30 axies. To fully optimize a plot, fill those slots with the rarest axies you can, and stack as much Atia’s Flame as possible.

Adopt a Collectible Axie

How is your reward calculated?

Each plot type shares a set bAXS prize pool, split between owners based on the Atia’s Flame they hold each tick.

For example, an Arctic plot has a monthly pool of 38,893 bAXS, paid out at 54.02 bAXS per tick across every Arctic owner. Your share depends on how much Atia’s Flame your axies bring against the total Atia’s Flame of everyone in that plot category.

Here’s the formula:

Unlike Homeland, where each plot had a fixed AXS ceiling, Terrariums is pool-based. Your earnings rise and fall with how many axies are active in your category and how well you optimize, which means an active, well-built plot can earn more than the old fixed cap ever allowed. The higher your land tier and the rarer your axies, the bigger your share.

FAQ

Q: Will Homeland progression carry over to Terrariums?
A: No. We want to give a fresh start for this new experience.

Q: Can we still earn AXP from Homeland after the game is sunset?
A: No. Homeland will be fully sunset, meaning you’ll no longer be able to access or play it after the specified date. Make sure to claim any remaining rewards sitting in your account by June 17, 3PM PH. Check full details here.

Q: Do I need to manually revoke my land delegation contract?
A: No. All delegation contracts will be automatically revoked and withdrawn when Homeland sunsets on Wednesday, June 17, 2026. The land delegation site will also be deprecated at that time.

Q: Can we use delegated axies for our own Terrariums?
A: Not on V1, but this will be added in future updates.

Q: Will land items, axie levels, evolved parts, amount of collectible parts, land positions, and estates matter?
A: Think of V1 as laying the foundation for the future of Terrariums. These features are planned for future integrations starting from v1.1 onward.

Q: Is Lunium an on-chain token?
A: No, it’s an off-chain token that isn’t tradable.

Q: Can I buy Lunium with bAXS?
A: Yes. Lunium can be purchased using bAXS, AXS, USDC, and WETH.

Q: If I buy Lunium with bAXS, will an exchange rate be applied?
A: No. There’s no exchange rate applied when purchasing Lunium with bAXS.

Q: Will I be able to earn bAXS in Terrariums without buying Lunium?
A: Yes. Your Land NFT has a passive Lunium regeneration rate. If you choose not to buy Lunium, your plot regenerates enough for one day’s worth of earnings over a five-day period. This is your Local Lunium (plot-based).

Q: Will I be able to earn AXP in Terrariums without Lunium?
A: Yes. Axies always earn AXP per tick, even without Lunium, but only while they aren’t contributing Atia’s Flame to the plot.

Q: Will purchased Lunium be usable for a specific plot only, or all lands under the same account?
A: Usable for all lands under the same account. This is your Global Lunium (account-wide).

Q: Can I use Local Lunium from one plot on a different plot?
A: No. Local Lunium can only be spent on the plot that generated it. If you want Lunium that works across all your plots you’ll need to purchase Global Lunium.

Q: Where does the revenue generated from Lunium go?
A: While the initial plan was to route it directly to the Treasury, the team is currently exploring alternative ways to use this revenue to directly benefit the community.

Q: What is the Total Plot Category Atia’s Flame mentioned in the formula?
A: It’s the total Atia’s Flame of all owners in the same plot category.
