Axie Experience Point [AXP], is an off-chain token that is gained by axies through gameplay and other various axie experiences. Initially, AXP can only be gained in Origins, but it will be available in other Axie Infinity games such as Homeland, DoLL, and more in the future.
Levels are on-chain numbers that are mapped to each Axie, while ascension is a mechanism where you will need to sign an on-chain transaction for an axie to advance to certain levels, at intervals of 10 levels.
How To Check AXP?
In order to check your axie's AXP and level, you will need to go to App.Axie and head into your inventory to see your collection of axies. You will be able to see a quick overview of your axies' AXP and levels by checking out the circled number on the left side of their names.
For a detailed view of your axie's current AXP, hover to one of your axies and click on Manage axie.
On the Axie Progression menu, you can view when your axie gained AXP over the last 7 or 30 days. The Axie Progression Menu tracks your Axie’s level, total AXP, and daily earned AXP — all in one place.
Want to know a secret? If you hover your mouse cursor over a specific AXP bar, you can check which games or materials the axie gained AXP from.
You can also check the levels of all other axies in the axie marketplace.
Don't mind this example. It's just a level 12 AgamoGenesis. :)
How Do My Axies Earn AXP?
Trainers can help their axies gain AXP by playing with them through various axie experiences such as Axie Infinity: Origins. It starts as an off-chain number, and only a limited amount of AXP can be gained by each axie per day.
All axies start with a daily AXP cap of 2,000 AXP. As your axie's level increases, the daily AXP cap also increases.
Axie Infinity: Origins
You can use your axie and win battles in Origins daily in order for you to gain enough AXP to ascend your axies. Once your axie reaches a certain level and number of ascensions, you may even be able to upgrade their parts to have stronger cards. As long as the axie hasn't reached their daily AXP cap yet, your axies will get AXP from winning matches in Ranked mode.
- Your axies will get varying amounts of AXP for each win from Ranked matches [with or without Stamina] in the Arena, depending on your rank.
- The AXP you can gain from Origins is capped at [level of the axie * 1,500 AXP]. For example, a level 10 axie can earn a maximum of 15,000 AXP in Origins.
- If your axie levels up while playing, it's Origins daily AXP cap automatically increases, allowing you to continue playing with that axie.
- If your axie isn't gaining AXP even though it hasn't reached its Origins daily AXP cap yet, it's possible that the axie has already reached it's overall daily AXP cap which you can check on the axie's page in App.Axie.
- You can also earn some AXP in Arcade Mode; albeit much lower compared to Ranked. But for players who want to relax and enjoy a more casual experience while still getting some much needed AXP, Arcade Mode could be a good option!
Axie Infinity: Homeland
Players can assign up to 32 axies per land plot on Homeland, where their axies can earn AXP by doing various tasks. Each tasks gives a varying amount of AXP, with tasks that requires more effort/time giving more AXP.
The AXP each of your axies can gain on Homeland is capped at 10,000 AXP per day. Please check our Homeland AXP guide for more information on earning AXP in Homeland.
Axie Infinity: Classic
Axies can also gain AXP from winning matches in Axie Classic. Just like in Origins, each axie has a cap on how much AXP they can gain from Classic per day. The AXP you can gain from Classic is capped at 12,500 AXP per day for each axie, shared between Arena, Cursed Coliseum, and Grand Tournament.
Axie Sky Smash
Playing a ranked match with your axie on Sky Smash also earns AXP for your axie. Your first win daily gives out 100 AXP, while each subsequent win earns another 40 AXP, with a 3,000 AXP cap per day.
Axie Quest
Winning a Dojo stage or a ranked match on Axie Quest gives each of your axies in your team 500 AXP, up to a maximum of 6,000 AXP per day for each axie.
Axie Champions
Each axie can earn up to 1,000 AXP per day. With a full axie squad, players can grind up to 5,000 AXP for every run.

Duet Monsters

Coco and Premium Coco
Coco and Premium Coco are chocolate treats that axies love. You can use Coco and Premium Coco to give AXP to your axies instantly. Check our Consumables article for more information on how to get Coco and how to feed them to your axies.
Note: Banned axies cannot gain AXP.
Ascension
When your axies reach a certain amount of AXP, they will get an increase in their level, which is an on-chain attribute that is added to your axies. As AXP gain is off-chain, you will need to perform a transaction to sync your Axie's level on-chain at every 10 levels through a process called Ascension.
For every 10 levels worth of AXP that your axie gains, you must ascend your axie before they'll be able to gain further AXP and levels. The Ascension process involves submitting an on-chain transaction, which syncs your axie's on-chain level attribute to their current level.
Ascension Levels
There are 6 ascension points at the moment [levels 9, 19, 29, 39, and so on].
1st Ascension: 1 to 10 > 13,310 total AXP needed, costs $0.50 of AXS to ascend
2nd Ascension: 10 to 20 > 110,480 total AXP needed, costs $1.00 of AXS to ascend
3rd Ascension: 20 to 30 > 334,170 total AXP needed, costs $1.50 of AXS to ascend
4th Ascension: 30 to 40 > 701,300 total AXP needed, costs $2.00 of AXS to ascend
5th Ascension: 40 to 50 > 1,223,670 total AXP needed, costs $2.50 of AXS to ascend
6th Ascension: 50 to 60 > 1,910,670 total AXP needed, costs $3.00 of AXS to ascend
Note: At the moment, you can only ascend your axie six times. This means that it will no longer gain any more AXP after it gets to Level 60, and cannot be ascended further until higher levels of ascension are unlocked.
How to Ascend an Axie
There’s two options in ascending axies, depending on how many axies you want to ascend. If you’re only looking to ascend one axie, you can do a single ascension on the axie’s details page. Alternatively, you can also ascend up to 20 axies at the same time through the Axie Ascension page.
Single Axie Ascension
Step 1: Once the axie is ready for ascension, on the axie's details page, click the Ascend button.
Step 2: Click on Ascend axie, then confirm the transaction on your Ronin wallet.
Step 3: You'll then see your axie at their new level and with their new level cap.
Multiple Axies - Batch Ascension
Step 1: On the App.Axie website, click on the Axie Experiences button and go to Axie Ascension.
Step 2: Axies that are ready to ascend will be shown on the page. Select the axies that you would like to ascend and click on Ascend Axies.
NOTE: You can only ascend up to 20 axies at a time.
Step 3: The total AXS cost for ascending the axies will be shown. Click on Ascend and confirm the transaction with your wallet to finalize the ascension.
NOTE: The transaction will use more RON than usual due to having more data on the transaction from the multiple ascensions.
When ascending multiple axies at the same time, the details for each ascension such as new level caps and Radiant Spirit Shell rewards [for Mystic axies] will not be shown.
You’ll then get a confirmation message, and your axies will reflect their new levels and level cap after a few minutes.
Part Evolution
Ascending your axies is a crucial part of the axie progression system. Each axie ascension will allow you to evolve one part of the axie to level 2 parts, for a current maximum of three parts at the 3rd ascension.
An axie will be eligible to evolve parts for evolution by reaching certain levels:
- One part after it reaches level 10
- Two parts after it reaches level 20
- Three parts after it reaches level 30
- Four parts after it reaches level 40
- and so on...
Aside from the level requirements, upgrading parts will also require materials, which can primarily be earned by releasing axies. Check our Axie Evolution Overview for more information on axie part evolution.
Legacy EXP
Experience Points gained by some axies from older axie experiences were converted to AXP in the new system. The Experience Points had been converted at a 1:1 ratio, which means these axies received 100% of their old Experience Points as AXP. Legacy EXP is capped at 35,156 EXP, which is equal to a max of 35,156 AXP when converted.
