The team in a blog post declared that they are striving to reach a situation where “invested” community participants have the ability to decide how to resource the Axie Infinity ecosystem.

The project is still in the early stages of decentralization. “As progress is made on the decentralization continuum, actions like council formation, resource allocation, on-chain voting, and treasury activation will be unlocked,” the blog post said.

The primary aim is to entrust the collective to foster self-governance. Therefore, a team of core community members of Axie Infinity, the “town builders,” was created in May.
