what's Sky Mavis?
Sky Mavis is a blockchain gaming company founded in 2018, best known for creating Axie Infinity, a play-to-earn game where players collect, breed, and battle digital pets called Axies represented as NFTs on the Ethereum-compatible Ronin sidechain. The company focuses on building player-owned economies in games, enabling true digital ownership through blockchain technology. Ronin, developed by Sky Mavis, is a high-performance EVM blockchain optimized for gaming, handling transactions for Axie and other titles while reducing fees and latency compared to mainnet Ethereum. The ecosystem revolves around tokens like AXS for governance and staking in the Axie DAO, and SLP for in-game rewards from battles and breeding. Sky Mavis emphasizes community-driven development, with initiatives like the Mavis Hub for launching new games and tools for creators. Their vision promotes games as digital nations where players live, work, and play with economic freedom, supported by partnerships with major exchanges and Web3 projects.
