Axie Infinity Fundamental Analysis
As reported by Artic who is an Axie Infinity missionary, a group of 600 dedicated and impactful community members had gathered together to help shape the future of Axie Infinity. The team at Axie Infinity announced that it has chosen these community members to join the early pilot program of the Axie Contributors, who would participate in a newly created “Governance” section on Axie Infinity’s discord channel. With such new developments, it is anticipated that there was a short-term positive trend created for the AXS token.
