Odaily Odaily Planet Daily reports, Ronin, the gaming-focused blockchain behind Axie Infinity, will migrate from an independent sidechain to an Ethereum Layer 2 network (L2) via a hard fork on May 12. The upgrade adopts the OP Stack architecture and is expected to trigger approximately 10 hours of network downtime, during which transfers, swaps, contract interactions, and on-chain gaming activities will all be paused.This upgrade simultaneously introduces the Proof of Distribution mechanism, which automatically rewards ecosystem builders based on their actual network contributions. In terms of tokenomics, RON's inflation rate will be drastically reduced from over 20% to below 1%; the 90 million RON originally allocated for staking rewards will be transferred to the treasury fund; and the market fee will be increased from 0.5% to 1.25% to enhance network security, scalability, and long-term economic stability.

gaming-focused blockchain Ronin has announced its migration to an Ethereum Layer 2 network on May 12. The underlying architecture will utilize the OP Stack and integrate EigenDA as the data availability layer. Chain operations are expected to be paused for approximately 10 hours during the migration. The team advises users to unstake their RON in advance or allow the system to handle it automatically after the migration is complete.Following the upgrade, RON's annual inflation rate is projected to decrease from over 20% to less than 1%. Additionally, the treasury will gain new revenue streams from staking rewards, Sequencer net profits, and Marketplace fees. Furthermore, Ronin has introduced a "proof of allocation" incentive mechanism based on "Builder Score," distributing RON rewards to ecosystem builders on a monthly basis.
