Wrapped ETHereum (WETH), Axie Infinity (AXS), and Smooth Love Potion (SLP) are the tokens that are used by the play-to-earn game Axie Infinity. To play Axie Infinity, you need to connect your Ronin Wallet that is used to hold ERC20 assets, such as WETH, AXS, SLP, and USDC and ECR721 assets, such as Axie, Land Plots, and Land Item.
