Ronin, the EVM-based blockchain powering popular play-to-earn (P2E) games like Axie Infinity, has announced its strategic shift to Ethereum Layer 2. This move aims to enhance scalability and reduce transaction costs for its growing user base. Sky Mavis, the developers behind Ronin, revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that the transition is slated for completion in Q1 or Q2 of 2025. By leveraging Ethereum's Layer 2 solutions, Ronin anticipates a significant boost in network performance, enabling faster and cheaper transactions within its gaming ecosystem. This transition marks a significant step for Ronin, returning from a sidechain model to integrate directly with the Ethereum network. The move is expected to attract more developers and players to the Ronin ecosystem. ```
