Key Moments from 2024
Lunacia witnessed a transformative 2024, marked by steady growth, new innovations, and landmark achievements. This year’s Lunacian Address reflects on key metrics, milestones, and the promising road ahead for Axie Infinity.
Axie’s Strong Growth by the Numbers
The Axie ecosystem continued its upward momentum throughout 2024. Key highlights include:
- Game DAA and MAA: Consistent growth driven by increased participation in Bounty Boards.
- Trading Volume: App.axie’s trading volume exceeded 30 million, boosted by Coinbase’s Learn and Earn Campaign.
- Treasury Revenue: The Axie Treasury saw a 4 million increase, averaging over 330K in monthly revenue, with a significant boost from the Wings of Nightmare event.
- SLP Deflation: The SLP Stability Fund resulted in a deflation rate of 0.57%, ensuring more tokens were burned than emitted.
- AXS Recognition: AXS became the top gaming token and joined the prestigious Coinbase 50 Index.
Demand for Mystic Axies surged throughout the year. Floor prices climbed from 4.4 ETH to 5.5 ETH, further cementing their status as Lunacia’s most coveted collectibles.
Part 2: Relentless Shipping and Game-Changing Features
2024 wasn’t just about numbers—it was also a year of relentless shipping. Axie introduced new features and gameplay mechanics that reshaped the economy and attracted new players.
Key Releases
- Bounty Boards:
Launched in April, Bounty Boards allowed Lunacians to earn AXS by completing tasks. A second Premier Bounty Board followed, doubling weekly rewards and attracting thousands of active participants. - Wings of Nightmare:
This was Axie Core’s largest update of the year, introducing evolvable Nightmare parts and generating significant trading activity. Within two weeks of launch, 12K AXS flowed into the Treasury. - Axie Delegation:
The formalized Delegation feature enabled players to rent and share axies directly on App.axie, streamlining the scholar-manager model. This integration extended to multiple game modes, including Origins, Classic, and Homeland.

In May, the Axie Governance Portal launched, allowing community members to propose and vote on key initiatives. The first proposal passed successfully, enabling community-driven smart contract upgrades.
