Axie Infinity is planning to launch a new token, bAXS, and will conduct two rounds of airdrops to distribute it to the community.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Axie Infinity announced on its official blog that AXS will become the reserve currency for the new application token Bonded AXS (bAXS). As an ERC20-C token, bAXS has the same utility functions as AXS, including for Axie evolution, breeding, forging items in App.axie, and staking.

The project team will conduct two rounds of bAXS airdrops for AXS stakers and based on the Axie Score. The first airdrop pool will be 100,000 bAXS, with a snapshot taken at 00:01 UTC on February 5. Eligibility requires staking at least 10 AXS in a wallet. Details for the second round of airdrops are to be determined, and bAXS obtained from the first round of staking will increase the weight for the second airdrop.

Additionally, Axie Homeland will gradually shut down and be replaced by the new land game Terrariums. Terrariums is expected to launch its MVP in Q2 2026, at which point bAXS will officially go live, and players can earn bAXS rewards through various activities within Terrariums.
