Season 9 Leaderboard Rewards

The Rare era has begun! This season, the rewards scheme will remain the same as it was in Season 8. In this era, the top 30,000 players on the leaderboard will share rewards from a 12,170 AXS prize pool, which represents 15% of the total seasonal prize pool. Get ready to compete for two weeks from June 12th to June 26th. Check out the prizes on the line:

Season 9 Collectibles Chest

Good news for collectible axie holders! The much-loved Collectible Chests have returned with 7000 AXS up for grabs. Earn extra AXS rewards at the end of each era — except the Final Era. Think of your collectible axie as a key to a treasure chest: the rarer the axie, the more treasure you’ll unlock.

Note: Please remember that to be eligible for the Collectible Chest, your collectible axie must be in your account before the era started and remain there until the era ends.

For instance, if you have a Mystic Axie, you can receive between 12,800 to 80,000 Collector’s Ticket if you meet the Era's criteria shown above. Keep in mind that the final AXS reward depends on the number of Collector's Tickets in circulation.

Finish the rare era at Tiger rank & above and hold your collectible Axie throughout the Rare Era to be eligible during the Rare Era!
