Our story started in 2017. In the CryptoKitties Discord. On a clogged Ethereum. From the early days of Axie scaling was top of mind. At the time, Ethereum was still early in its scaling journey. Gas fees were high. Transactions would get stuck. Ronin was built to onboard everyday people without having to worry about these things. Layer 2s were still untested at the time. We made a practical joice and deployed Ronin as a sidechain vs. a true layer 2. But even from the early days of Ronin's journey, we were keeping an eye on Ethereum's scaling progress. Now Ethereum has made major progress. It's now much cheaper and more efficient to run an L2 than a standalone sidechain. The l2 migration will come with these benefits for users, developers, and RON holders: • A proof of distribution system that rewards real activity with a portion of the RON we're saving now that we no longer need to pay for our own security.

The Ronin market will now send 1.25% of NFT all NFT volume to the treasury (up from .5%). 90 M RON from the former staking allocation will be allocated to the Treasury. Save the date, May 12th. We're coming home.(Jihoz.ron)
