Accept Axie Infinity (AXS) payments
Axie Infinity Shard (AXS) is the governance token of the Axie Infinity game. It was issued as an ERC-20 on Ethereum, while the game itself runs on Ronin, a separate network. easyway accepts AXS as an ERC-20 on Ethereum with the same checkout and API as ETH and the stablecoins. Below: the contract that counts, why Ronin doesn't, and what the numbers look like.
Token, network and limits
| Token | Network | Contract | Confirmations | Min. withdrawal | Withdrawal fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AXS (Axie Infinity Shard) | Ethereum · ERC-20 | 0xBB0E17EF65F82Ab018d8EDd776e8DD940327B28b | 12 | 0.65 AXS | 2.2 AXS (flat) |
This is the address CoinGecko, Coinbase and Trust Wallet's token list give for Axie Infinity Shard on Ethereum. It is a plain ERC-20 with 18 decimals, a fixed supply of 270 million AXS and no proxy, and no fee is taken on a transfer, so the amount the customer sends is the amount that arrives.
Ethereum yes, Ronin no

Players usually hold their AXS on Ronin, because that is where the game, its marketplace and the Ronin Wallet live. Ronin is EVM-compatible: its addresses are the same 40 hex characters as Ethereum ones (the Ronin Wallet shows them with a ronin: prefix instead of 0x), so a customer can paste the invoice address into a Ronin transfer and it will go through. The coins then sit on Ronin and the invoice stays open. To pay, the AXS has to be on Ethereum first: bridged out of Ronin, or withdrawn from an exchange with Ethereum (ERC-20) as the network. The guide to paying from an exchange walks through choosing the network.
Amounts and fees
On a USD invoice the AXS amount is locked from the exchange rate when the customer selects the coin, and the checkout shows the exact amount to send. Transfers under 0.01 AXS are skipped as dust; several larger ones add up, and the invoice is paid after 12 confirmations, usually a few minutes. Short or late payments follow the underpaid and late payments guide.
AXS is not a stablecoin: the payment is credited and later withdrawn in AXS, so later price moves are yours. The platform fee is a flat 0.5% of each confirmed payment: 100 AXS received leaves 99.5 AXS on your balance. A withdrawal costs a fixed 2.2 AXS, which covers the Ethereum gas of one token transfer. Every coin's numbers are on the pricing page; how they compare with other gateways is in crypto payment gateway fees, compared.
Integrating
Nothing is AXS-specific: create an invoice with the API (or a payment link if you don't write code), send the customer to the hosted checkout and deliver when the signed invoice.paid webhook arrives. To price an invoice in AXS itself, pass currency = "AXS_ERC20"; to show only AXS at checkout, pass allowed_assets with "AXS_ERC20". Runnable examples are in the quickstart.
Common questions
Is easyway connected to Axie Infinity, Sky Mavis or Ronin? No. easyway is independent and only receives the AXS token as a payment for your own goods or services.
Where is the AXS kept after a payment? On your easyway balance until you withdraw it. Live withdrawals only go to addresses you whitelisted with two-factor authentication; see security. Other gaming tokens on the same Ethereum addresses: ApeCoin (APE), Chiliz (CHZ), The Sandbox (SAND) and Gala (GALA).
