Catenaa, Tuesday, February 10, 2026-Axie Infinity will airdrop a new bonded token, bAXS, to eligible holders of its AXS cryptocurrency, developer Sky Mavis announced.
The airdrop, based on a February 5 snapshot, will distribute 100,000 bAXS tokens to wallets that have staked at least 10 AXS. Allocation will depend on both the amount staked and each player’s Axie Score.
The bAXS token, backed 1:1 with existing AXS, will retain core functionality within the Axie ecosystem, including evolving and breeding Axie monsters and spending on the marketplace.
Sky Mavis said the token is designed to incentivize activity within the game’s economy, supporting part evolution and upcoming in-game features.
bAXS will also integrate with Axie Infinity’s upcoming land-based game, Terrariums, expected in Q2 2026. The platform aims to expand token utility for consumables, power-ups, and in-game upgrades, further encouraging spending within the ecosystem.
Axie’s original token, AXS, has surged 57% over the past month to around $1.55, though it remains nearly 99% below its 2021 all-time high of $164.90.
The franchise, which runs on the Ronin Ethereum scaling network, has faced challenges in maintaining its play-to-earn economy, while the broader blockchain gaming space has experienced recent volatility.
Sky Mavis continues to develop Axie Infinity’s ecosystem with titles like Atia’s Legacy, expanding the gaming and economic activity supported by AXS and bAXS. The first bAXS airdrop will be followed by a second distribution yet to be detailed.
