Combining Gaming and Blockchain: Gaming Pet Universe Axie Infinity Joins Binance Launchpad

We are excited to announce that Binance Launchpad will support Axie Infinity, a Pokémon-inspired digital pet universe where anyone can earn tokens through skilled gameplay and contributions to the ecosystem.

Axie (AXS) $2,97M USD token sale on Binance Launchpad will follow a lottery-format ticket claim and start on October 27, 2020, at 06:00 am UTC (+0).

The Axie Infinity team is building a digital pet game that allows users to virtually battle, collect, raise, and build a land-based kingdom for their pets called “Axies.” With over 7,000 on-chain monthly active users, Axie Infinity is now the most-used game and #1 NFT game on Ethereum by monthly and weekly active users. While Axie is a game, it's also taken on characteristics of a social network and job platform due to the strong community and play to earn opportunities that have come from its early success.

“Binance with their strong reputation and devoted community—is the perfect fit for the crucial launch of our governance token”, said Axie Infinity CEO, Trung Thanh Nguyen. We aim to empower millions of gamers and AXS is the catalyst to enable this mission. Our revolution is just beginning”.

“We’re excited to bring The Axie Infinity NFT game to Binance Launchpad", said Binance CEO and Founder, CZ (Changpeng Zhao). "We’re confident that Axie Infinity will showcase the advantages of NFT gaming to Binance users and make blockchain-based games more popular”.
