Axie Infinity Land Hosting Goes Live on November 12

Axie Infinity Land owners can now open their Terrariums plots to players who have axies but no Land of their own. Sky Mavis announced Hosted Plots on November 11, 2026, and said the feature goes live the next day, with land owners and their guests sharing the rewards ^[1]. It follows Terrariums V1.2 in August, which added rewards for owning multiple collectible parts on a single axie and for joining Land plots into an Estate ^[2]. That same month, the team closed the Axie Pin Drop leaderboard event and said qualified winners would get prizes after review ^[3]. Hosted Plots targets the players those updates left out, and how well its reward split works in practice is still unproven.

Cel-Shaded Art and Character Design

Axie Infinity: Terrariums uses a top-down, cel-shaded cartoon style close to the bright look of Animal Crossing. Round trees, crop fields and oversized buildings like the Town Hall, the Dojo and the Atia Shrine fill each Axie Infinity Land plot, and the axies wander between them. Each biome, such as Forest or Savannah, recolors the same layout, so a plot reads at a glance. The character designs are distinct and the polish is consistent throughout.

Rounded trees and cel-shaded characters fill a charming, polished top-down world.

Community Reactions to Earnings

Players are less united on how Terrariums pays out. Some appreciate the detailed guides for making the earning system clearer ^[4]. Others note that earning requires owning land or Axies, and free plots yield nothing ^[5]. Some critics consider the game a scam, saying land prices are falling as earnings decline with each update ^[6]. Nonetheless, some players say they enjoy the game and continue playing despite the earning complaints.

We also checked video comments. Most comments are genuine player questions and criticism. But a cluster of wallet-address drops with generic praise, a promo-style play link, and a ‘first’ comment pushing a Ronin delegation looks coordinated or promotional. ^[7]

AXS Token Price Decline

AXS, the token tied to Axie Infinity, has trailed other gaming tokens over the past month and the past three months, though it lost less than the gaming index over a full year. The price barely moved on the day of the Hosted Plots post.

• 30-day range: $0.7744 to $1.15
• Past 90 days: -6.9% (vs. other gaming tokens: +7.1%)
• Our wash-trading model finds some indicators, the second of its four risk bands for this token today, and we flagged it on none of the 27 days it scored ^[13]

How Axie Infinity Land Hosting Works

The Hosted Plots post came with a one-minute video that explains the system. It starts from a gap Sky Mavis admits to. The Free Plot every player gets doesn’t mine bAXS, so players without Land have no way into the core Terrariums economy. At the same time, owners of Axie Infinity Land with only a few axies often leave plots idle ^[1].

Under Hosted Plots, a land owner opens an idle plot and fuels its Atia Shrine. Guests, which the game calls Flamekeepers, bring their own axies and pay nothing. Each Flamekeeper keeps a fixed share of what their own axies mine, and the host keeps the rest. One Flamekeeper’s rewards don’t depend on how the other guests on the same plot do. Friends and guilds can share Axie Infinity Land through an invite link, and a host has to give notice before removing a Flamekeeper, who keeps mining in the meantime ^[1].

The video puts most of its weight on clarity. Guests get a status chip, a daily strip of rewards and a “While you were away” card. If their axies aren’t mining at the full rate, the game says why in plain words, and players see an estimate before they join a plot. In a follow-up post, Sky Mavis said land owners could set hosting requirements, such as a minimum Atia’s Flame, before accepting axies ^[12]. The video doesn’t give the size of the guest share, and it closes by saying details may change.

A tweet about the new feature has drawn a range of responses. In its first day, the post received 97 likes, 46 retweets, and 10 replies. Players are sharing their thoughts from various viewpoints.

Some readers are already picturing themselves on the sharing side. One commenter wrote, “I should try this!” ^[8] Another said Hosted Plots sounds like “a nice way to get new players in without a land bag” ^[9]. The math crowd is also tuning in. One reply called it a way to turn idle land into something players without land can rent ^[10].

Not everyone is sold on the idea of renting. One fan admitted they are torn between buying land and renting it out, or just renting the Axies instead ^[11]. So the reaction is split. Some players are excited to get in the game. Others are still weighing their options. That is a pretty normal way to react to a brand new feature.

Axie Infinity: Terrariums’ X followers are down by about 5,144 over the past month, to 879,787. Despite the drop, it still ranks 5th of 104 games we track by X followers.

Axie Infinity Decline and Ronin Breach

A 2022 research report says the number of daily Unique Active Wallets for Axie Infinity declined by 86% in Q3 compared to Q2. The same report says Sky Mavis has raised three post-seed rounds. These were a series A for $7.5 million, a series B led by A16z for $152 million, and an emergency round led by Binance for $150 million.

A 2022 document titled “Back to Building: Ronin Security Breach Postmortem” describes an attack on Sky Mavis. It says Sky Mavis employees were under constant advanced spear-phishing attacks on social channels, and one employee was compromised. The attacker used that access to reach Sky Mavis IT infrastructure and gain access to the validator nodes.
