Ronin gaming sidechain gets ready to transition to Ethereum layer 2
Summary
Ronin is migrating from an independent sidechain to an Ethereum layer 2 network to improve security and throughput. The transition, triggered by a hard fork, aims to plug the gaming-centric blockchain back into the Ethereum ecosystem. By adopting the OP Stack and EigenDA, the network plans to lower costs and boost scalability. Additionally, the move introduces a 'Proof of Distribution' model to reward active contributors while reducing RON token inflation from over 20% to below 1%. The upgrade will result in approximately 10 hours of network downtime.
