BlockBeats report: On April 29, according to an official announcement, the gaming blockchain Ronin has declared it will migrate to Ethereum Layer 2 on May 12. During this transition, on-chain operations will experience a scheduled downtime of approximately 10 hours, after which normal operations will resume. The new underlying architecture will be built on OP Stack and integrate EigenDA as the data availability layer. Users are advised to unstake their RON tokens before the migration on May 12, or they will be automatically unstaked by the system after the migration is complete.
The core objective of this migration is to leverage Ethereum’s security, data availability, and finality capabilities for Ronin, while introducing a mature on-chain gaming infrastructure to the Ethereum ecosystem. As the underlying network for renowned on-chain games such as Axie Infinity and Pixels, this move is regarded as a significant milestone in Ronin’s ecosystem development.
After the migration, the annual inflation rate of RON will be reduced from over 20% to below 1%, and the treasury will gain ongoing revenue from staking, Sequencer net fees, and Marketplace transaction fees (increasing from 0.5% to 1.25%).
