Axie Infinity, a popular blockchain-based game, has recently made waves in the gaming community with the introduction of its Meta Morph feature. This new feature has led to the burning of a staggering 15.1 million Smooth Love Potions (SLP) tokens in just two months. The Meta Morph feature allows players, also known as Lunacians, to enhance their collectible Axies by making their cards more powerful or adaptable to the game’s ever-changing meta.
The demand for SLP has surged as more players have embraced the Meta Morph trait, resulting in unprecedented token burns. The game’s data team has been closely monitoring the situation and has observed a significant increase in Meta Morphing activity over the past two months. According to their analysis, 3,805 Axies have undergone Meta Morphing, contributing to the high burn rate of SLP.
The trend of Meta Morphing shows no signs of slowing down, leading some members of the community to humorously suggest that Lunacians may soon need to wear masks in the arena to handle the intensity of Meta Morphing fights. The introduction of Meta Morph in August has garnered attention for the new value and utility it brings to collecting Axies. By allowing players to morph their cards to increase power or adaptability, Axie Infinity has revitalized gameplay and encouraged players to rethink their strategies for success.
In addition to the Meta Morph feature, Axie Infinity has been working on improving the player experience by integrating Chainlink Data Streams into their decentralized apps (dApps). This integration provides real-time, verified market data for the game’s native coin, AXS, and streamlines in-game operations for faster and more reliable processes. Players can now maximize their earning potential with a lowered cooldown for Fortune Slips and improved monitoring of progress and rewards through the Bounty Board.
Despite these advancements, the game’s native token, AXS, has faced challenges in the market, currently trading at $4.47 with a 4.11% decrease over the last 24 hours. As Axie Infinity continues to innovate and evolve with features like Meta Morph and improved player experiences, players can look forward to an exciting and dynamic gaming environment.
