[MONI (Monsta Infinite)](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/monsta-infinite/) is an in-game currency in MMORPG card-based monster battle game, built on blockchain. As a [play-to-earn](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/play2earn-play-to-earn) universe Monsta Infinite allows gamers to earn real-life revenue while exploring the virtual world.
Despite being Initially designed as a lower entry cost fork of another distributed universe, [Axie Infinite](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/axie-infinity/), Monsta infinite eventually came to uniquely address a number of issues currently associated with the world of NFT games.
During gameplay users build a team of creatures called MONSTAs and compete in card-based battles against other players or computer-controlled opponents. Moreover, Monsta Infinite supports an open-world feature, allowing gamers to develop a social network and participate in live events.
Apart from MONI the game features another native currency STT (Stamen Tellus). While MONI is considered a governance token, giving the holders an opportunity to vote on major decisions on the platform and to profit through MONI stacking, STT is generally used for purchasing in-game assets. STT is acquired through participating in battles, collecting dividends from land ownership and breeding and selling the game characters — MONSTAs. MONI is awarded to high-ranking players at the end of each season in player-versus-player (PvP) mode.
According to the roadmap posted on the Monsta Infinite official web page MONI first went on sale in September 2021. Game public launch is scheduled for the first quarter of 2022.
