Do I need to own Axies to play?
For Axie Infinity: Origins, you can play for free using starter Axies provided by the game. These free starter Axies allow new players to experience the game without purchasing NFT Axies. For Axie Infinity: Classic, you need at least three blockchain Axies in your Ronin wallet to play. Alternatively, you can participate through a scholarship program where managers lend their Axies to scholars.

What is a scholarship in Axie Infinity?
A scholarship is when a manager (player who owns extra Axies) lends their Axies to a scholar (new player without Axies). The scholar plays the game using the manager's Axies and earns rewards like AXS. Earnings are typically split between the manager and scholar based on agreed percentages, commonly 60/40 or 50/50. With the new Axie Delegation feature, managers can now delegate up to 20 Axies directly through App.axie for periods ranging from 1 day to 1 year.
5
How do I become a scholar?
To become a scholar, search for managers or guilds hiring scholars through platforms like Discord, Twitter, Reddit, or the official Axie Scholar Pages database. Contact managers expressing your interest and gaming experience. Many guilds have application processes requiring you to fill out forms with your information. Once accepted, the manager will delegate Axies to your wallet address, allowing you to start playing and earning rewards according to your agreed split arrangement.

What is the Ronin blockchain?
Ronin is an Ethereum sidechain specifically designed for Axie Infinity and the broader gaming ecosystem. It was created by Sky Mavis to enable near-instant transactions with negligible fees, allowing millions of in-game micro-transactions to occur seamlessly. Ronin eliminates the high gas fees associated with Ethereum, making it economical for players to transfer assets, trade Axies, and play games within the ecosystem.

What is the Ronin Wallet and how do I use it?
The Ronin Wallet is a specialized cryptocurrency wallet for the Ronin blockchain, available as a browser extension and mobile app. It allows you to store Wrapped Ether (WETH), AXS, SLP, USDC, and RON tokens. You use it to interact with Axie Infinity games, the marketplace, and other DApps on Ronin. The wallet enables 100 free transactions per day and can be connected to exchanges like Binance for direct deposits and withdrawals without high Ethereum gas fees.

What is AXS (Axie Infinity Shards)?
AXS is the governance token of the Axie Infinity ecosystem, launched in November 2020 as an ERC-20 token. AXS holders can participate in governance decisions through the Axie Governance Portal, stake their tokens to earn rewards, and use AXS for breeding Axies. Players can earn AXS by ranking high on seasonal leaderboards, completing Bounty Board quests, and participating in competitive tournaments. AXS can be stored in any ERC-20 compatible wallet or your Ronin wallet.
RON is the ecosystem token of the Ronin blockchain used to pay gas fees and secure the network for Axie Infinity and future games on the chain. While Ronin currently offers 100 free transactions per day, RON will eventually be required for all transactions. RON ensures Ronin remains a community-owned blockchain. It can be earned by providing liquidity on Katana DEX and is tradeable on the platform.
