Understanding Axie Infinity's Terrariums: Earnings and Land Costs
Written with artificial intelligence.
Axie Infinity has activated 10,722 Land plots in its new Terrarium system, where each plot earns bAXS hourly when powered by Lunium. As of October 17, the lowest cost for a Savannah plot was 0.03888 ETH, approximately $94.64, with various plot types available at different prices.
Overview of Terrariums
Axie Infinity has transitioned to a new earning system called Terrariums, which has activated 10,722 Land plots since its launch in June. Each plot collects bAXS, a token rewarding players, every hour as long as it is powered by Lunium. This system is designed to be easy to use, allowing players to earn while being away from the game.
How It Works
To earn bAXS, players need to follow these steps: 1. Activate your Land: Visit terrariums.axieinfinity.com and connect your wallet. 2. Assign Axies: Use the Registry to add Axies to your Land. 3. Burn Lunium: Each hour, Lunium is consumed to activate the earning process. 4. Collect bAXS: Players receive their share of the bAXS pool based on the Flame produced by their Axies.
Players without Land can claim a free plot for testing, but it has limited functionality as it does not earn bAXS.
Earnings and Costs
In Terrariums, rewards are distributed from a fixed bAXS pool unique to each plot type. The share a plot earns is calculated based on its Flame, which is influenced by the rarity of the Axies and any accessories used. For example, a normal Axie contributes five Flame, while a Mystic Axie contributes 1,000.
Lunium, the resource powering this system, comes in two forms:
- Local Lunium: Free, recharges over five days, and allows one day of full-speed earning.
- Global Lunium: Purchased with various currencies (bAXS, AXS, USDC, WETH) and can be used on any plot without limits.
Several Lunium packages are available, starting as low as $0.99 for 25,000 Lunium.
Current Land Prices
As of October 17, the lowest asking prices for Land plots on the Axie marketplace were:
- Savannah: 0.03888 ETH (~$94.64)
- Forest: 0.0575 ETH (~$139.96)
- Arctic: 0.0896 ETH (~$218.06)
- Mystic: 0.24 ETH (~$584.17)
These prices fluctuate with ETH's value and reflect asking prices, not completed sales. Once activated, plots are locked and cannot be sold or transferred.
Conclusion
Terrariums present a new way for players to engage with Axie Infinity, offering passive earning potential through bAXS. With a clear structure for activation and earnings, players can maximize their investment in Land while contributing to the overall Axie economy.
