AXS, as the core token of Axie Infinity, has always been the central hub of the entire ecosystem. But a major move this year has changed the landscape—the official is about to launch the app version of AXS, known as bAXS.

How does this new token integrate into the existing economy? And why is it so important for the player community?

In terms of practical use, bAXS can be spent within the core Axie game and also supports staking for rewards. But the real innovation lies in—linking the in-game reputation system (Axie score) with the token sale mechanism.

Here's how it works: when players sell bAXS, they need to pay a variable fee to the treasury. The key point is—this fee is not fixed but dynamically adjusts based on your Axie reputation level. The higher your reputation level, the lower the transaction fee when selling.

This design is interesting because it directly incentivizes long-term participation and high-quality players' retention. In other words, your performance and reputation in the game now directly affect your transaction costs. This idea of tying social reputation to economic incentives is still relatively rare in game token economies.
