What is the source of the token rewards? Are the tokens pre-mined and then handed out based on games played on Axie’s servers?

Just trying to understand the innovation. Is it primarily that game rewards can be exchanged on chain, while the granting of the rewards is still centralized?

Two tokens:

AXS is the governance token and is premined, mainly held to fund the team, given out as rewards to players and given out as rewards for keeping AXS staked. Used for breeding new Axies

SLP is the token gained by playing the game, this token is also used for breeding new Axies. The game servers sign a message allowing you to claim the SLP from a smart contract on the ronin chain, this part is not completely decentralized.
