Breeding & Earning in Axie Infinity

Like real-world pets, Axies can be bred to create new offspring. These offspring can be used in battle, breed new offspring, or can be sold on our marketplace.

In order to manage the Axie population, breeding has certain resource requirements.

Breeds cost .002 ETH as well as Small Love Potions. Please note that breeds also require a gas fee which is variable based on usage of the Ethereum network. 'Small Love potions can be earned by playing the game in PvE Adventure mode as well as the PvP Arena. Once you earn them, you can sync them to your wallet from this page.'

In the graphic 1 potion= 100 Small Love Potions. The cost to breed two Axies will be based on the breed count of both parents. For example, two Axies that have 6 breeds each will require 2,600 Small Love Potions to breed.

As of January 8th, the cheapest Virgin Axie (0 breeds) costs around .01 ETH which is 5x the breeding cost. This means that with some time and effort, there is a clear path to earning in Axie Infinity.

Here’s where it gets interesting:

Small Love Potions are also tokens which can be traded on the decentralized exchange, Uniswap. You can buy/sell SLP on the Decentralized Exchange, Uniswap, here.

If you don’t want to use your potions to breed, you can instantly sell them.

Advanced users can also try acting as liquidity provider/market maker. You can learn about how to do this here.
