Key Points
Every adventure calls for new items – and somewhere to get them. Harry Potter got his wand from Olivander’s. Goku got his orange gi from Master Roshi. What about Ronin and Axie gamers? They can now go to the Mavis Store for many of their in-game items. Mavis Store is a webshop for in-game items – both on and off-chain. Pay with $RON, $AXS, $SLP, $WETH and $USDC. Snag powerups, cosmetics, rewards, and more. Here’s why it matters to our movement:
Game developers come to Ronin when they want to launch the next breakout Web3 game. The more features at their fingertips, the more they can build. For example, the Pay with WRON feature opened the door for thousands of players to purchase Pixels’ VIP memberships. As a result, Pixels is now cash-flow positive. This is a win-win for the Pixels team and the players they serve. So, where does the Mavis Store come in?
Mavis Store gives developers the space to offer in-game items to their communities. Think new skins. Stat boosters. Lootboxes. There are no limits except the creativity of our game studio allies. That means your favorite Web3 games are going to get a lot more interesting – and maybe even more competitive! You’ll have new experiences to explore, and new loops to discover. Mavis Store is another step towards infinite gaming opportunities.
High fees for in-game items on the App Store and Play Store can often suffocate game developers’ revenue. In comparison, the small 5% fee Sky Mavis receives for maintenance of the Mavis Store is a breath of fresh air for builders. We’re also directing 0.5% of every in-store transaction to the Ronin Treasury, which accrues even more value to the RON token and everyone who holds it.
We have an expansive vision for Mavis Store, and today is just the first step. For now, you can find two items on Mavis Store: Battle Bears Gas Cans and Origins Gems. Let’s look at each one:
In Battle Bears, players can use Gas Cans to travel to the battlefield where they’ll fight for rewards and experience. There are packages of Gas Cans from $2 USD to $1,000 USD available. In-app purchases can also yield up to 50% in extra items – this bonus is exclusive to Gas Can packages listed in Mavis Store. Purchases of Gas Cans on Mavis Store may even make a user eligible for future rewards.
In the Mavis Store, players can now purchase off-chain Origins Gems. Use these to buy special items in the Origins Shop. For example, use Origin Gems to adopt starter axies like Noir and Rouge! Remember that the Origins Shop is in Origins. That means you’ll have to buy Gems on Mavis Store, then open Origins to use them. Here’s how that will look:
Buy Gems on Mavis Store → Open Axie Infinity: Origins → Buy special items and consumables in the Origins Shop
In November, we shared that 90% of the revenue generated in the Origins Shop by Gems will go to the Origins vault. These funds will be used to make Origins even better. The remaining 10% goes to the Axie Treasury, which also strengthens Origins and accrues value to AXS.
