Tacter Axie App is safe to use. Here is why:
After last November's Axie Infinity ban wave, doubts related to the safety of Tacter Axie have increased among players. In this post we will answer in detail this question.
Hi! I’m Nacho from Tacter Axie. Today we are going to answer one of our most repeated questions: is Tacter Axie safe to use? But first, let’s introduce what Tacter Axie is…
What is Tacter Axie?
Tacter Axie is a mobile app that helps Axie players to significantly win more games and learn about the meta in very simple ways:
🃏 Exploring cards using our filters: class, type, part, energy cost, and effect. Check beforehand what potential damage can your enemy deal, and make decisions to turn the situation around.
⚡ Count energy inside the Axie App with our overlay: just activate the overlay, go into the android Axie app, and place the inputs to keep track of the energy your enemy has, and therefore the potential damage he can deal on every round.
If you want to learn about the importance of tracking energy and how to use the overlay in Android, read our Substack Post:
During this journey, more than 10.000 players across different regions have used Tacter Axie to boost their gameplay, and thus increase their SLP’s gains through MMR:
However, due to the last Axie ban wave last November, players’ concern about the safety of our energy overlay calculator feature and other third-party apps has increased. During the last weeks, we had some worried players asking this on our Discord community :
Its the app safe to use?
We will not get ban using this right?
Are third-party apps allowed?
The concerns are totally legit, and we feel the responsibility of making clear the situation. So let’s pose the question:
Is tacter Axie 100% safe to use?
Short answer: Yes, it is
Tacter Axie energy overlay is 100% safe to use, and won’t be considered in any instance a reason to ban an account by Sky Mavis (Axie developer). Here’s why:
1. ✍️ Tacter App doesn’t interfere with the game at any point:
One of the most common examples that we use to illustrate how Tacter Axie works is the handmade calculation example. Tacter Axie doesn’t do anything that can’t be done by the player itself with:
✏️ Pencil
📄 Paper
In contrast to other bannable third-party apps that interfere with Axie taking their data to automatize the calculation (which is clearly considered as a reason to ban), Tacter Axie doesn’t do anything that can’t be done by the player itself with a pencil and a paper. Indeed, we facilitate this calculation by providing an easier and convenient overlay where users have to make the inputs to obtain the final results.
2. ✅ Sky Mavis it’s fully in favor of third party app tools, actively advocating them through their official channels:
As they make clear in their whitepaper, Sky Mavis is fully in favor of third party app tools, declaring the following:
We believe the Axie universe can be a powerful medium for attracting developers to blockchain technology and as a potential launchpad for Indie developers.
In the same Third Party development page within their whitepaper, Axie promotes and encourages its players to use third-party tools, listing some of them (we are currently working to make Tacter Axie appear on that list). Furthermore, they also promote third-party tools among their community on their official Discord, holding channels to show off and foster development.
Furthermore, Axie Infinity's official Terms of Use are also very clear about what is and what is not allowed in third-party tools. They set the limit on the following :
“Engage in any automated use of the system, such as using scripts to send comments or messages, or using any data mining, robots, or similar data gathering and extraction tools, except as mentioned in 2.5)”
In conclusion: any automatic counting app, bot, or tool that gathers information for the game on its own is totally prohibited and can be a reason to ban. In contrast, overlays that make counting easier but ask the player to place himself every input of the calculation (as Tacter Axie does), are totally safe and fully permitted.
3. 🔑 Tacter Axie is not a Keylogger (we can’t take any personal data). Here are the permissions we ask for:
Another classical concern when it comes to installing a third-party app is about what permissions are required to install and run the tool. In the case of Tacter Axie we ask for the following:
Permission to write and read through storage (to keep track of the user journey inside our app)
Permission to connect internet (upload cards content and update changes)
Permission to run on foreground (In order to run the overlay with our app closed)
Permission to draw over other apps (to overlay the energy counter during an Axie game)
None of this permission allows us to extract any personal data, nor to keep track of your keyboard events (this is how Keyloggers extract passwords). We do not ask for any additional permissions that are not necessary to run the app.
⚠️ Bonus: last ban wave wasn’t due to third-party apps, but to multiple accounts abuse.
As they declared in their official Discord, last Axie Infinity’s ban wave (which ended with 18,505 Axies) wasn’t due to third-party apps, but to multiple accounts abuse:
