What to Know About Axie’s Lunar Event Deadline

Axie Infinity’s Lunar New Year Axie Releasing Event was scheduled to run from January 20 to February 20, 2022. Its February 20 deadline is historical, not an upcoming date in 2026. If you have seen a post saying the event is ending on February 20, check whether it clearly identifies the year before acting.

The event name does not, by itself, explain what players had to do, what rewards were offered, or whether any transaction was required. Don’t infer those details from the word “releasing,” or assume that old instructions still work. The event window has passed, so treat any current claim page using its name as unverified until Axie Infinity announces a new event with current rules.

In short: this is useful as a dated Axie history item, but not as a live event guide. You can still play Axie Infinity, but that is separate from joining the 2022 promotion.

The event was scheduled for January 20 through February 20, 2022. That date range is more than four years in the past, so you cannot enter the old event or meet its deadline now. A page or social post that omits the year can make an expired promotion look current; check the full date and publication context before following its directions.

Do not confuse this event with other Axie activities, such as Origins seasons, tournaments, or later community events. A similar theme or a familiar Axie logo does not mean that an old promotion has reopened. A new event should have a fresh announcement and its own dates, eligibility rules, and instructions.

If you want to check whether Axie has announced a new Lunar event, look for a current announcement from Axie Infinity itself. Confirm that its dates include 2026 and that the instructions match what appears in the official game or account flow. If you cannot verify those points, don’t connect a wallet or sign anything.

You may still find old posts, videos, or screenshots discussing the 2022 event. They can help explain what players were talking about at the time, but they are not proof that an event or reward can still be claimed. Treat old instructions as expired unless Axie Infinity has explicitly published a new version.

Use this quick check before acting on an event claim:

1. Find the year. Does the post say 2022, 2026, or no year at all?
2. Check the announcement. Is the event described in a current Axie Infinity announcement, not just reposted by another account?
3. Read the complete rules. Look for dates, eligibility, required actions, and any costs or transaction approvals.
4. Inspect the destination. Make sure it is an official Axie service before entering account details or connecting a wallet.
5. Stop at unexpected prompts. Don’t sign a transaction you don’t understand to “unlock” a past reward.

If any step fails, close the page and verify independently. A countdown timer or claim button is not evidence that a historical offer is still valid.

A request to connect your wallet, enter a recovery phrase, or approve an unfamiliar transaction deserves caution—especially when it is attached to an expired event. Never share your recovery phrase or private keys. A legitimate support representative should not need them to confirm an event or restore access.

Before approving a wallet action, read the prompt and check what it lets the site or contract do. If the purpose, asset, or permissions are unclear, reject it. Don’t rely on a social post’s description of a transaction as “free” or “just a claim.” Blockchain actions may have network costs or grant permissions that can put assets at risk; the exact terms depend on the transaction.

Axie Infinity is a Ronin-based NFT game, so wallet and asset safety matter when interacting with its ecosystem. Use the official game or wallet flow, keep your recovery phrase offline, and verify the destination before connecting. If you already approved something suspicious, review and revoke permissions where possible, and move remaining assets to a secure wallet if you can do so safely.

The old event’s name does not provide enough detail to establish its original costs, eligibility, or reward terms. Don’t assume participation was free, that a particular Axie was required, or that rewards remain claimable. If you are researching it for historical context, look for a dated announcement and preserve the year when sharing what you find.

For any new Axie event, check these details before committing time or assets:

• Eligibility: Which accounts, players, or assets qualify?
• Actions: What exactly must you do, and by when?
• Costs: Are there game purchases, marketplace charges, or network fees?
• Rewards: What is offered, how is it delivered, and can it be transferred?
• Risks: Could an action consume, transfer, or lock an asset?

If the rules don’t answer these questions, wait rather than guessing. An event announcement should make its terms clear enough for you to understand what you will spend, approve, or risk.

If you’re interested in Axie Infinity now, start from the current official game and account setup rather than an old event page. Review the game’s present requirements, wallet steps, and any costs before you buy or transfer assets. NFT prices and game rules can change, so don’t treat old event instructions or historic reward claims as current advice.

Before you participate in any Axie promotion, use this final checklist:

• Confirm the event is active and its dates include the current year.
• Find the rules in a current Axie Infinity announcement.
• Understand what actions and assets are required.
• Check any costs and transaction details before approval.
• Reject requests for your recovery phrase or private keys.
• Avoid links sent through unsolicited messages or replies.

If a claim depends on an event that ended on February 20, 2022, you do not need to rush to claim it in 2026. Verify a fresh announcement first; if there isn’t one, treat the offer as expired or suspicious.
