Axie Pals, an innovative Google Chrome extension, transforms your Axie NFTs into animated digital companions. Designed by Kindred, the third-party team behind projects like Meta Pals and Flora, this early-stage tool lets you feed, pet, and interact with your Axies directly from your browser—reminiscent of a Tamagotchi experience.
What Are Axie Pals?
Axie Pals animates your NFT Axies, bringing them beyond the Lunacia universe to your web browser. These AI-powered companions can sleep, wake, and even accompany you while browsing, watching videos, or playing games. Think of it as a mini Tamagotchi with blockchain tech.
Axie Pals requires permissions to access certain browser data, though Kindred assures users that no personal information is stored.
