bAXS Rewards
bAXS (Bonded AXS) is a non-transferable utility token backed 1:1 by AXS. It can be used for breeding, ascending, evolving, and staking, but cannot be transferred between accounts. This keeps value circulating within the Axie ecosystem and rewards players who are here for the long run.
Converting bAXS to AXS requires a Treasury fee scaled to your Axie Score. Mythkeepers and other high-reputation players enjoy significantly lower fees, rewarding long-term dedication over short-term farming.
In S18, the Top 2,000 players will share an 80K bAXS prize pool. The Rare Era alone features 20K bAXS in rewards, alongside additional bonus incentives.
Competitive Integrity Checks
Keeping Origins fair is a top priority. Era rewards will be held until each check is complete so legitimate players can trust that the leaderboard reflects real competition, not just at season’s end but throughout.
Multi-accounting and leaderboard manipulation will result in a permanent ban from Axie Origins. No exceptions.
Reminder: Collectible Chest Rewards
The Collectible Chest pool returns with 10,000 bAXS up for grabs and like season rewards, Collectible Chest payouts will be in bAXS.
The rules are the same: finish the Rare Era at Tiger rank or higher while holding your Collectible Axie for the entire era to earn Collectible Chests. Open them for Tickets, then redeem those Tickets for your share of the bAXS pool.
