The editorial team continues the experiment of investing in Axie Infinity. In the last article we told you how to buy an Axie and assemble a team. The selection of characters and further gameplay require certain costs: time, funds for electricity, amortization of equipment and others. Therefore, it was decided to rent the account to an experienced gamer on parity terms.
Sites for finding a player
According to CryptoSlam’s NFT monitoring data, there are more than 2.8 million accounts registered on the Axie Infinity platform as of March 2022. With the influx of new participants, character prices have increased. Therefore, potential players are often looking for a cheaper way to get started. At the same time, many longtime Axie fans have dozens or even hundreds of accounts. Managing all the characters at once is difficult.
It’s not profitable to sell profitable critters. It makes much more sense to lend Axies to gamers who could use them. By the beginning of 2022, this way of interaction (Scholarship) has become widespread. Most often the parties share the profit in the ratio of 50/50.
To find scholarship holders (renters), such resources are used:
- Scholars section on the official website of developers. This is a kind of bulletin board where players offer account management services. At the beginning of March 2022, there are 9,322 applications posted on the site.
- VKontakte player communities. Axie fans create local groups in social networks. In them they discuss current news of the project and post ads for renting accounts.
- Threads on Reddit. On Axie Infinity fan pages, users are allowed to buy, sell and rent characters. Bids can be discussed in the comments.
- Discord channels. This is a convenient platform for finding fellows and landlords. The former can leave applications to manage an axei team. The latter post rental offers and interview for a player’s spot.
The main problems in finding a player
It’s not enough to find a potential scholarship player. He still needs to be negotiated with. The account owner may encounter difficulties in the process of selecting a player. More details in the table.
| Problem | Description |
|---|---|
| Irresponsible candidates | A user may appear to be a suitable candidate for a manager position in correspondence, and then simply fail to show up for the final interview. |
| Players with no experience | The main reason why many users fail to start earning at Axie Infinity is the high entry threshold. The Scholarship program allows you to rent a starter team in exchange for a portion of the profits. Beginners are eager to take advantage of such an opportunity. However, landlords run the risk of not making a profit due to player mistakes. |
| Exaggerated Scholarship demands | In 2021, parties most often split profits 50/50. At the beginning of 2022, the developers reduced payments for duels and canceled rewards for completing daily quests. On thematic forums, tenants increasingly began to raise the issue of increasing the partner share to 70-80%. |
How to interview a candidate
Before concluding a lease agreement, it is important to communicate with the player in person. Usually the interview is conducted in Discord, Skype, Telegram and other messengers. The aksa owner must make sure that the future scholarship holder is familiar with the theory of the game, has relevant experience and achievements. The landlord also explains the rules of interaction. If the interview is successful, the parties conclude a contract. The player receives a starting team of axes for rent.

Access to the Ronin wallet does not need to be transferred. The player only needs to provide the login and password of the Axie Infinity account. The renter will not be able to withdraw cryptocurrency in any way.
Conclusions
Looking for an Axie renter is better in large communities of players in social networks (Reddit, Discord, VKontakte), as well as on the official website – in the Scholars section. After the innovations of 2022 (reduction of payments for duels, cancellation of rewards for quests), players’ interest in Scholarship programs decreased. At the beginning of 2022, experienced gamers expect 50-80% of the profits. Before concluding a contract, it is recommended to conduct a live interview. This will help to make sure that the applicant is competent. In addition, it is necessary to discuss the terms of work. We agreed with the player to cooperate in a 50/50 format. Follow the stages of the experiment: the results will be published every week.
