Ronin is an EVM-compatible blockchain designed for Web3 games. Sky Mavis, the studio behind Axie Infinity, launched it in 2021 as a sidechain of Ethereum so that players could make game transactions without Ethereum's fees. Because it is EVM-compatible, developers can reuse Ethereum-style tools, contracts and wallets. Some sources now describe Ronin as an Ethereum Layer 2, so check its official documentation for the current architecture.
RON is the native token. It was introduced to secure and decentralize the network, and holders can stake it through Ronin Staking, where rewards and risks are worth reading about before you delegate. Fees on Ronin are generally described as low, which suits games that need many small actions. DeFi activity is modest: about $9.6M in TVL at the time of writing.
The ecosystem is mostly games and collectibles. Axie Infinity is the best-known title, joined by Wild Forest, Fishing Frenzy, Craft World, Pixel Heroes Adventure and Ragnarok Monster World. Ronin Market is the main marketplace for game NFTs, and Katana DEX V3 covers token swaps. Forkast, a prediction market, and Cambria Duel Arena, with wagered duels, involve real-money stakes, so readers must be 18+ (21+ where required) and should check that online gambling is legal where they live. Some dApps on this page, including Binance, Gate and CCIP, are multichain services that list Ronin among many networks.
