At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, players flocked to Axie Infinity, a blockchain-based video game where users received cryptocurrency tokens for their time spent playing. In 2022, when the broader crypto market crashed and a massive hack erased players’ earnings, most users fled. A new study by Cornell researchers has investigated why some players stuck around.At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, players flocked to Axie Infinity, a blockchain-based video game where users received cryptocurrency tokens for their time spent playing.

Birds flock in order to forage and move more efficiently. Fish school to avoid predators. And bees swarm to reproduce. Recent advances in artificial intelligence have sought to mimic these natural behaviors as a way to potentially improve search-and-rescue operations or to identify areas of wildfire spread over vast areas—largely through coordinated drone or robotic movements. However, developing a means to control and utilize this type of AI—or “swarm intelligence”—has proved challenging.Birds flock in order to forage and move more efficiently.
