Ronin will migrate to Ethereum to become an Optimistic Rollup Layer 2, and RON inflation will decrease to less than 1%.

April 29th — Gaming public chain Ronin announced it will migrate to Ethereum Layer 2 on May 12, with roughly 10 hours of downtime for on-chain operations during the transition. Normal operations will resume post-migration. The new underlying architecture will be built on the OP Stack, integrating EigenDA as its data availability (DA) layer. Users are advised to unbond their RON stakes before the May 12 migration; otherwise, the system will automatically unbond stakes after the migration completes. The core goal of the move is to leverage Ethereum’s security, data availability, and finality, while bringing mature on-chain gaming infrastructure to the Ethereum ecosystem. As the underlying network for popular titles like Axie Infinity and Pixels, Ronin calls this a key milestone in its ecosystem development. Post-migration changes include: - RON’s annual inflation rate dropping from over 20% to below 1% - The treasury receiving ongoing revenue from staking, Sequencer net proceeds, and marketplace fees (fees rising from 0.5% to 1.25%)
