Axie Infinity is entering another transformative phase with the introduction of Bonded AXS (bAXS), a new land gameplay system called Terrariums, and two upcoming airdrops designed to reward long-term commitment within the Lunacia ecosystem. The update marks a structural shift in how rewards are distributed, how land functions, and how value circulates across Axie experiences.
The changes reinforce Axie Infinity’s move toward a more sustainable, participation-driven economy while revisiting the project’s original vision for land and community progression.
bAXS: A New Core Token for Lunacia
At the center of the update is bAXS, a new app token that will sit alongside AXS. While AXS becomes the reserve currency, bAXS will act as the primary token used across gameplay and rewards.
Functionally, bAXS mirrors AXS. Players will be able to use it for:
- Ascending and evolving Axies
- Breeding
- Forging items
- Staking
- Participating in future Axie experiences
The key difference lies in circulation design. bAXS is structured to encourage spending and reinvestment within the ecosystem, supporting healthier economic loops over time. As the ecosystem evolves, most in-game rewards will gradually shift toward bAXS rather than AXS.
bAXS Airdrop 1: Snapshot Approaching
The first bAXS airdrop is already scheduled, with clear eligibility criteria.
Airdrop 1 Overview
- Snapshot date: February 5 at 00:01 UTC
- Total pool: 100,000 bAXS
- Eligibility: Wallets with at least 10 AXS staked
- Allocation factors: Axie Score and total staked AXS
- Distribution: At bAXS launch
This airdrop is designed to prioritize active Lunacians who have demonstrated long-term engagement through staking and gameplay contribution.
Terrariums: The Next Evolution of Axie Land
Axie Infinity is also retiring Homeland and replacing it with Terrariums, a new land-based system that brings land gameplay back to the project’s original ambitions.
Terrariums are envisioned as the foundation of Axie Core, where Axies:
- Live and grow
- Participate in mini-games and expeditions
- Engage in guild-based systems and territories
- Collect accessories and items
- Earn rewards through integrated experiences
Terrariums will become one of the primary ways to earn bAXS, tying land ownership directly to active participation rather than passive yield.
The team is targeting Q2 2026 for an initial Terrarium MVP release. By that time, bAXS is expected to be live, both airdrops completed, and land-based bAXS emissions active.
bAXS Airdrop 2: Expanding Distribution
A second bAXS airdrop is already in planning, with the goal of broadening access while still rewarding dedication. While full details are still forthcoming, the framework is clear.
Key factors for Airdrop 2 will include:
- Axie Score
- Total staking weight, including staked bAXS
Players who receive bAXS in the first airdrop and stake it will increase their weight for the second snapshot, creating a compounding incentive for long-term involvement.
A Strategic Reset Toward Axie’s Roots
Together, bAXS, Terrariums, and the dual airdrops represent more than just new features. They signal a deeper recalibration of Axie Infinity’s economy and gameplay direction.
By separating reserve value from reward circulation, reimagining land as a living system, and anchoring distribution to meaningful participation, Axie Infinity is positioning Lunacia for its next era of growth. The rollout sets the stage for a more unified, resilient ecosystem where rewards flow to players who actively build, play, and contribute over time.
Axie is evolving again, and this time, it is doing so by returning to the vision that started it all.
