The Axie Infinity ecosystem has seen increased popularity over the past month, with AXS surging over 247% and a market capitalization reaching $748 million. Developer Sky Mavis has introduced a reform plan, shutting down SLP issuance, reducing market supply, and launching the bAXS token to reshape the incentive system, curb speculation and bot arbitrage, and aim to enhance ecosystem activity and sustainability.

【Blockchain Rhythm】The Axie Infinity ecosystem has been on a continuous rise in popularity over the past month. Data shows that AXS has increased by over 247% in 30 days, with a market cap reaching $748 million; while the SLP in the same ecosystem, although with a more moderate growth, has also risen by 42%, with a market cap of $38.48 million.

What is the driving force behind this surge? Developer Sky Mavis launched a series of aggressive reforms in early 2026, directly impacting the economic foundation of the ecosystem.

One major move was the complete shutdown of SLP issuance in Origins mode starting January 7. It sounds simple, but in reality, it cuts off the lifeline of automated bot farms—those bots that rely on repetitive farm-and-dump arbitrage no longer have emission support, causing the daily new supply of SLP to shrink by over 30%. This finally alleviates the long-standing selling pressure in the market.

Another significant move was the introduction of bAXS (Bonded AXS), a bonded token that cannot be freely traded. Players now earn game rewards in the form of bAXS, which can only be used for gameplay, staking, or governance participation. Interestingly, high-reputation players who want to sell can enjoy lower transaction fees. This mechanism clearly aims to reshape the incentive system—genuine players are taken care of, arbitrage opportunities for speculators are compressed, and the problem of rampant bots is naturally suppressed.

How significant are these changes? Industry experts generally believe this is the most thorough economic overhaul of Axie Infinity since its peak in 2021. Co-founder Jihoz also stated that in 2026, more aggressive strategies will be adopted, including upcoming new content updates like Atia’s Legacy MMO Beta, with a clear goal—to boost activity and ensure ecosystem sustainability.

Whoa, 247%? This time Sky Mavis finally did some personnel changes. The robot farm is dead, only then can the ecosystem have a chance to survive.

Here we go again, thinking that shutting down SLP distribution will save the day? I feel like it's just another way to cut the leeks... --- A 247% increase sounds great, but will it be a flash in the pan this time? Question mark. --- Sky Mavis is getting serious this time, directly freezing the robot farms... about time. --- SLP supply shrank by 30%? Does that mean my previous holdings will rise? Has anyone figured this out? --- Changing tokenomics every day, is this chain game just a testing ground? When will they stop messing around? --- 247%... that number sounds dangerous. Those who bought at high prices, take care. --- Will stopping Origins' SLP distribution solve the selling pressure? Feels like a band-aid solution. --- AXS has reached a market cap of 7.48 billion. Is there really something solid this time, or is it just going to fall back?

Damn, finally cut the robot farm. SLP can finally breathe a sigh of relief this time, right? --- 247%? Crazy, this is what tokenomics should look like. --- It was about time to shut down those bot farms. Farm-and-dump every day, exhausting me. --- A 30% supply reduction, now the coin has support, unlike before when it was being hammered down relentlessly. --- Wait, is this really a reform or just another scam to cut the leeks? I feel a bit uncertain... --- SLP has turned around from worthless paper money? Sky Mavis's move this time is pretty ruthless, directly cutting off the source. --- Ah, my robots are going to be unemployed, but with such a huge increase, I probably won't lose out? --- With so many bots in origins mode, can a one-size-fits-all approach really survive? Won't it collapse... --- Finally, someone took action. If this keeps up, Axie will really become a trash coin. --- A 30% reduction in supply, does this mean those still farming can turn things around?

Finally, someone dares to target the robot farm. I am optimistic about this wave of reform, but it still depends on whether the subsequent ecosystem can truly retain players.

Wow, this wave of reform is really serious, directly cutting off the robots' food supply, with SLP supply shrinking by 30%. No wonder the price is going up. It's truly a blow to the root; many of those farm robots must have gone out of business before. Now is the real test for true believers. A 247% increase sounds great, but I wonder if another wave of profit-taking is coming... Sky Mavis's move is indeed ruthless, finally targeting those automatic sell pressure tumors. In the long run, it might really improve the ecosystem. The question is, how long can this reform last? Will they create new arbitrage methods again?

Someone finally dares to take action, shutting down the bot farm was a really bold move... The 247% increase was a bit shocking, but it makes sense—cutting supply removes the selling pressure.

Wait, a 247% increase—are whales behind the scenes making early moves? I've started tracking large transfers before and after Origins shut down, and the data doesn't lie. Why was the decision to stop SLP distribution made specifically on January 7th? Is there a logic behind this timing? A 30% reduction in supply... sounds impressive, but who is secretly taking the other side? I need to observe the on-chain wallet cluster movements. Sky Mavis's recent reforms are basically about shedding the low-tier farmers, right? The institutions have already set their positions. With supply tightening, the price skyrocketed instantly—classic whale playbook. But can this really be sustained this time?
