Axie Infinity Founder Calls Out Sui-Powered Game ‘Seed Go’ for Copyright Infringement
Axie Infinity co-founder Alexander Larsen has accused the Sui-based game Seed Go of infringing on his project’s intellectual property.
“This infringes on our Axie Infinity IP, and it’s not okay,” Larsen claimed in response to claims about Seed Go.
He specifically called out the game creators and Mysten Labs, suggesting they resolve the matter “so we can all save money and time.”
Sky Mavis confirmed they’ve notified the Sui team about the alleged infringement, stating they’re resolving issues externally rather than pursuing legal action.
Game Details
Seed Go utilizes “Seedmon” NFT characters and is built on the Sui blockchain, according to its Telegram-based implementation. It employs SLOVE and SEED tokens.
Axie Infinity, launched in 2018, gained prominence as one of the earliest pioneers in play-to-earn gaming. Its distinctive Axies — NFT creatures bred by players — have generated over $1.3 billion in revenue since inception.
Industry Reaction
Another Sky Mavis/Ronin founder characterized Seed Go as “Axie at home,” referencing the food-at-home internet meme.
While Mysten Labs helped establish Sui smart contracts for the game, the Sui Foundation clarified they maintain high standards for endorsed projects and aren’t currently supporting Seed Go.
The Sui Foundation acknowledged a small investment in Seed but emphasized they are distancing themselves from the project.
