According to BlockBeats, Ronin has announced plans to transition from an Ethereum sidechain to an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) solution. Established four years ago to support Axie Infinity with a faster and more efficient network, Ronin was created when Ethereum's scaling roadmap was still in its early stages. Now, with advancements in Ethereum's capabilities, transaction costs and speeds have improved significantly. Ronin aims to become a gamified engine for Ethereum and is set to fully integrate as an L2 solution by next year.
