As announced on our blog, 
Probably the more exciting thing for everybody is gonna be the Scholarship Program, though. No sense letting Axie Infinity have all the fun. We're gonna give play-to-earn fans a chance to get started at very little cost. Once bulk transactions and rent functionality are finished being developed for the game, we will be able to eliminate the startup cost entirely. Only new players are allowed, though... we'll have to take away your allowance if we find out you're cheating the system. Please don't make us 😞
