Ronin Introduces zkEVM to Enhance Web3 Gaming

In 2018, five founders converged in a modest office in Vietnam to birth Axie Infinity, heralding a new era of blockchain games that promised true ownership to players. Years later, Ronin emerged as the optimized blockchain that propelled Axie Infinity to global success.

Last year, Ronin's transition to Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) set the stage for the next wave of web3 games. Today marks a pivotal moment with the deployment of zkEVM technology, enhancing Ronin's scalability.

Ronin Network Continues to Dominate Web3 Gaming

Introducing zkEVM on Ronin

With 1.5 million daily active users (DAU), Ronin stands as one of the largest gaming blockchains globally. This milestone is a testament to our commitment to onboard real users - real gamers, real people. The integration of zkEVM marks the next step in this journey, leveraging the Polygon Chain Development Kit (CDK) to advance our mission.

In the near future, developers will gain the ability to launch their own Layer 2 blockchains on Ronin's mainnet. These new Ronin chains will utilize zero-knowledge proofs, enabling a broader array of games, attracting more players, and fostering greater economic empowerment.

What is zkEVM?

Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) allows a blockchain to process transactions efficiently without revealing transaction details.

zkEVM in Context

Imagine James has a map revealing hidden treasure, but his friends doubt its authenticity. To prove his worthiness, James seeks a magic sword from a wizard who tests his skills. Zero-knowledge proofs enable the wizard to verify James's worthiness swiftly without exhaustive tests, enhancing efficiency.

Ronin and zkEVM

Presently capable of handling 40 million transactions daily, zkEVM will scale Ronin to process 400 million or even 4 billion transactions. This expansion accommodates diverse game types, ensuring Ronin remains scalable and supports games with unique technical demands.

Core Benefits of zkEVM

• Scalability: Enables infinite blockspace, accommodating more games.
• User Experience: Facilitates seamless cross-chain interaction.
• Economic Alignment: Higher staking rewards for validators supporting Layer 2 chains.
• Diverse Games: Attracts games with varied technical requirements.

Founders’ Perspective on Ronin’s Evolution

From Axie Infinity's origins to today's expansive ecosystem, Ronin continues its commitment to innovation and community engagement. With zkEVM, Ronin evolves from supporting high-quality games to becoming a cornerstone of web3 gaming.
