Hi , first thank for your good question that I think many need an answer .
Actually it’s right gas fees are insane for every project not only Axie so my little business is not good as it should do . I need to wait to have bigger bag of SLP before swapping to reduce a little Some fees . But axie in February lunch Ronin the sidechain of axie which have partners like Ubisoft , Samsung ... in March normally it should be 100% ok to avoid fees on eth Mainnet .
I use between 2h-3h / day . Fighting during coffee at work or before sleeping .
Sorry for this tooooooooo long answer but I think it’s would be very important .
Take care , thanks
