"The play to earn issuance represents 20% of the total AXS supply. The goal of the play to earn tokens is to attract a wide range of players to the Axie ecosystem in the hunt for token rewards and to give ownership and stake to the most active community members." https://whitepaper.axieinfinity.com/axs/allocations-and-unlock/play-to-earn
This means that the value of its SLP comes from the investors who bough AXS tokens. Looks like a Ponzi for me.
Its just my opinion though. I wish I'm wrong.
I know AXS and SLP and different tokens.
But, how did the team create value for SLP? Where is the source of money used in the liquidity pool of SLP when it was initially listed in Uniswap?
Remember, SLP's value didn't just pop up instantly. Someone must have added an SLP/ETH pair liquidity pool in Uniswap so early gamers can convert their SLPs.
My understanding is that this was taken from the investors who bought AXS tokens as stated in its white paper.
Value was made by the investors and I just felt bad when I've seen AXS too cheap before and didn't buy any of it because I'm not even a breeder and didn't think that it's going to skyrocket that quick so I missed the run but I've seen.
