Reward Structure
Our Alpha seasons allow Axie trainers of all skill levels to earn tokens for winning arena battles!
25% of the DAI (375) will be distributed to the top 50 spots on the leaderboard. 75% of the DAI (1125) will have a chance of dropping from any arena battle! This means that any trainer, regardless of skill level has a chance of winning DAI!
The season will last two weeks, ending at 10 AM EST on Sunday August 23rd!

Remember that 1,000 Axie DAI coins= 1 DAI. 1 DAI= 1 USD.
Please note that each human is only eligible for 1 leaderboard position-based payout. Any attempts to abuse the system will result in a ban from Season rewards.
