Axie Infinity is a “play to earn” game that has a metaverse and a marketplace. However, the game has had errors logging errors lately with the marketplace. The game has an “Axie Infinty Error 502”.
Therefore, users are unable to log in and buy Axies to play. Users also trying to login into the game for the first time receive an error 502 each time they try to purchase in the marketplace via MetaMask.
The marketplace gives a “Purchase Failed!” error and remains unresponsive no matter how long you wait. This error left many wondering if it is an individual issue or a general issue with the NFT marketplace.
What is Error 502 in Axie Infinity?
Axie Infinity cannot log in using MetaMask, and it brings up an Error 502. The 502 error is a representation of a bad gateway. There are several reasons that players speculate might be causing the error:
What are the Probable Causes of the Error?
- Too many users
- Server error
- MetaMask Error
However, technologically, error 502 shows that the webserver you are connected to serves as a proxy for relaying information to another server. The webserver is a proxy in the chain.
Therefore, error 502 occurs when the server cannot relay information from the original server due to the possible reasons listed above. Other reasons include overloading. The error is simply a temporary problem.
Previous Purchase Method
Here is the previous purchase method that gives the error 502:
- Open MetaMask by going to the official MetaMask website in your browser.
- Select the right plug-in or extension for your browser.
- Download the plug-in.
- Click the MetaMask logo in your browser.
- Download the Ronin wallet.
- Setting up the Ronin wallet.
- Creating an account.
- Connect your MetaMask wallet.
The 502 Error
Error 502 in the game is either a crashing server error. Other times it is an account sign-up error. The error occurs when you create an account with MetaMask first and then link it with Ronin.
Then, you can use the same secret recovery phrase (formerly known as a seed phrase) as your MetaMask wallet to create the Ronin wallet, effectively linking the two wallets.
After clicking login with MetaMask, the wallet displays a blank screen and becomes unresponsive. You need MetaMask to display wallet Eth before buying Axie. This is impossible when it goes blank; therefore no login and playing to earn.
How to Fix Error 02 in Axie Infinity
1. Create your account with Ronin first.
2. Link your Ronin account with MetaMask.
3. Go to the MetaMask setting and click the link with Ronin.
4. Congratulations! You’re in!
The error is temporary, and it is not an issue with MetaMask, but a server MetaMask connects to allow linking with Ronin. Using the solution above helps clear the problem, and players can freely access the Axie Infinity marketplace and keep playing and earning.
The Future of Axie Infinity
Axie Infinity is still a top game despite the few errors. Such errors usually show that many people are actively playing the game. Therefore, the servers are overloading. The game is aware of the issue and working on fixing them; this is just temporary. Let us keep playing and earning. See you in the metaverse!
