Axie Infinity co-founder Aleksander Leonard Larsen says that 1 million daily active players of the NFT-based video game have never used any crypto application before—and acknowledges that the game's learning curve is "really hard" for crypto newbies.
Speaking on a panel discussion about the metaverse at Token2049, Larsen said that Axie Infinity has about two million daily active players, 50% of whom have never used any crypto application before. "It's really hard to begin playing Axie right now," he said. Likening the process of onboarding players to swimming to an island, he said that, "a lot of people are drowning" in the attempt. "Basically, they can't get to the game itself, because it's so hard."
