## Introduction 
The boom of GameFi and non-fungible tokens has resulted in the emergence of many in-game digital assets and cryptocurrencies that promote player engagement. Most of these games, which are part of the Metaverse, have gone a step further by creating cryptocurrencies that drive their virtual economies. Axie Infinity with its cryptocurrency and in-game asset called Smooth Love Potion (SLP) is an example of such a game. 
## What is Axie Infinity? 
Axie Infinity, built on the Ethereum blockchain, is one of the leading gaming and DeFi projects. It is a play-to-earn gaming platform which has characters called Axies that exist as  non-fungible tokens (NFTs). In order to participate in the game, a player should assemble a team of Axies. 
## What is SLP?
The Smooth Love Potion (SLP), an ERC20 token, is the Axie Infinity ecosystem’s in-game currency. As such, players earn SLP when they participate in various gaming activities such as adventures and battles. Also, they use SLP to purchase the Axies they want to use during the games.

The factors that affect the price of the Smooth Love Potion
There are various internal and external factors that affect the price of SLP which include the expansion of the gaming industry and the token’s utility.

## The utility of SLP in the Axie Infinity Ecosystem
The SLP is Axie Infinity’s in-game currency since the players use it to purchase the Axies they need to play the game. In addition, the platform rewards the players using the SLP. For example, the gamers earn the SLP token when they participate in the game’s special events and activities such as battles.

As part of the game, the players wager their SLP in order to take part in contests. As a result, such SLP tokens form a central prize pool. Therefore, the players that battle with the Axies in the battle arena may win these tokens. 
### Sale of the SLP to other players
Although the players usually earn the SLP when they participate in the game there are other users who do not win them. Such people may choose to purchase them from the users who hold them. For that reason, there is a secondary market where the players can buy and sell the SLP tokens, thereby raising its demand.

### Sale of SLP to investors for the purpose of speculation
SLP is a cryptocurrency with monetary value and people can transfer it to others. Also, investors can trade it on different crypto exchanges since they can purchase it when its value is low and sell it  when the price rises.

What is important, in this case, is for the investors to trade it on reputable exchanges such as Gate.io which have low fees and reliable technical analysis indicators. Notably, the availability of SLP on cryptocurrency exchanges increases its demand and liquidity.

### Purchasing real life goods and services
As noted, SLP is a true cryptocurrency with monetary value attached to it. Therefore, people can use it to buy goods and services such as smartphones and sneakers. However, the SLP tokens are not yet internationally accepted as means of payment. They are only accepted in certain countries like the Philippines where many people play Axie Infinity.

It is also important to note that, since  SLP is an ERC-20 cryptocurrency, people can transfer or hold it in crypto wallets that accept Ethereum tokens and coins like ETH. For example, you can use MetaMask or Rainbow Wallet, among others, to manage your SLP tokens. As well, this makes it acceptable to many people around the globe. 
## Global gaming expansion 
The other reason why the demand for SLP will increase is the expansion of the gaming industry. As you are aware of, the market for gaming products keeps on expanding as new users join the fray. Since Axie Infinity is the leading blockchain based game the demand for SLP is likely to keep on increasing.

Already, the gaming industry is worth more than $120 billion, yet analysts predict greater adoption in the near future. As an example, analysts predict that the gaming market size is likely to exceed USD 504.29 billion by 2030.

The Covid-19 pandemic increased the demand for blockchain based games since many people sought ways to enhance their social interaction during that period. In addition, universities and colleges are offering courses that enable their students to consider future professional careers in the gaming sector.

Further to this, there has been vast investment in the gaming sector since 2020. Many start-ups such as A16z have been investing in the sector. Already, A16z has invested over $150 million in Mythical Games, one of the most promising peer-to-peer (P2P) gaming platforms. 
## Recent performance of Axie Infinity
In 2022 Axie Infinity was the best performer in the metaverse sector, generating $590, 50 million in revenue. However, despite its steady growth, the average earnings of an Axie player decreased significantly in 2022.

Early in 2022, each player could earn around 150 SLP which used to translate to a cash value of between $40 and $50 per day. However, since the price of SLP is lower these days, the amount a player earns in monetary terms is less than before. Even though the price of SLP is depressed, the game still has many users.

### Partnerships and endorsements 
Axie Infinity has partnered with some leading tech companies and brands. Examples of its partners are Aave, Maker Samsung, Kyber Network, Delphi Digital, Upbit, Kyber Network and Ubisoft. Some of these partners are centralized and decentralized crypto exchanges which can assist in increasing the demand for SLP.
