Axie Infinity, the platform play-to-earn that grants SLP tokens for playing and that allows stakeholder AXS, announced the entry into force of 3 new features that are activated with patch 1.1.1, released minutes ago.
As the first announcement they mention that the axies (that is, the monsters that star in this video game) They return to level 1 every time they change ownership. It is worth clarifying that – although they reiterate it in today’s announcement – this had already been activated at the time of launching the version 1.1.0 last October 15.
On the other hand, the remaining three new features were only activated today, October 29. The first one is that the challenges are available again. «Now you can challenge a coach from your friends list to a friendly duel », informs Axie Infinity.
The challenges , which were incorporated into the game for the first time in December 2018 (and which were later withdrawn) are games whose result does not influence the ranking of the player or his axies.
Days ago, after the news that the challenges would be reactivated, there were those who began to speculate with a possibility of unofficial business around this modality: the organization of private tournaments. «It is known that there are a few poker players with academies set up, so maybe something fun can come out “, wrote last Friday on Twitter the user @ hoozh _ , who describes himself as a professional poker player.
The second novelty reported by Axie is that the If you have a score lower than 800 MMR, you will not receive any more SLP for the “adventure”, “arena” or “daily mission” modes. The Axie Infinity tutorial prepared by CriptoNoticias describes that the “adventure” mode consists of playing against the computer; “arena” mode is when you play between people “; and the “daily mission” consists of completing 10 levels in “adventure” mode and beating other players 5 times in “arena” mode.
Whoever is not familiar with the Axie ecosystem You, or novice players, are probably wondering what MMR is and what you need to do to get past 800. In short, MMR stands for “matchmaking rating.” It is a indicator of the player’s level and increases or decreases according to the victories or defeats he has.
With this implementation, starting today, how good a player you are in Axie Infinity is a deciding factor in whether you can earn tokens with this game.
Finally, the third change that was activated today in Axie Infinity is that the game history is not It will be saved on the company’s servers. As a consequence, among other things, there will be no possibility of repeating the games in adventure mode. The game developer company clarifies that this will be “for now.” “We will recover this function once we have the opportunity to optimize it”, they clarify.
AXS and SLP: Axie Infinity token price shows market sentiment
The news announced, according to what can be read In social networks and channels of the player community, they seem to have had —in general— a good reception.
The market also “speaks” with the valuation it gives to the tokens of the game. The AXS token, which will serve for governance (and can currently be used for staking ) reached an all-time high in early October, reaching $ 155. held at a price close to USD 141 at the time of writing.
Investors could be interpreted as optimistic about the future development of Axie Infinity, so they buy and s takean this token that is not yet more useful, because governance is not yet activated.
On the other hand, there is the SLP token. The novelties that were activated today should reduce their emission level. In terms of price, this is important since the token has an infinite maximum circulating and therefore is inflationary. By the law of supply and the demand, if the currency manages to reduce (or at least reduce its emission rate), and SLP purchases increase, the price could rise.
Anyway, the market seems to see no potential in SLP as an investment. Its price is USD 0.06 at the time of writing this article. A figure quite far from the historical maximum of USD 0.41 reached 6 ago months.
CriptoNoticias reported in September the possible causes of the fall in the price of SLP. The massive emission due to the arrival of new players to the ecosystem stood out as the most probable hypothesis. Perhaps, the new measures, in the long term, will cause a change that benefits SLP and its holders.
