Ronin Migration to Ethereum Layer-2 Infrastructure Set for May 12

Ronin, the blockchain that powers popular games like Axie Infinity and Pixels, is set to undergo a major transformation. On May 12, it will migrate to Ethereum's layer-2 infrastructure, marking a significant shift in its operations. This move is expected to bring about economic restructuring, with $RON token inflation plummeting from over 20% to less than 1%. The migration is also likely to impact the gaming industry as a whole, which has seen a decline in momentum and venture capital funding.

The migration will see Ronin transition to the OP Stack, Ethereum's layer-2 infrastructure that powers millions of transactions daily. This change is expected to improve scalability and reduce costs for users. The economic restructuring is not limited to token inflation, with marketplace fees flowing to the Treasury set to increase by 2.5 times.
