Sky Mavis and its players have generated $2.05 billion in sales to date for Axie Infinity, an nonfungible token (NFT) game, according to measurement firm DappRadar.

The game uses NFTs to uniquely identify cute characters. Players spend real money to acquire those characters and engage in battles with other players. They can level up the characters and sell them to other players, and that generates income for the players.
