Frequently asked questions
What is Ronin and what are its primary use cases?
Ronin is an EVM-compatible, gaming-first Layer-1 by Sky Mavis (native currency: RON) that powers titles like Axie Infinity and Pixels, plus NFTs and DeFi in its ecosystem (Mavis Market, Katana). It’s optimized for on-chain gameplay and asset transfers via the Ronin Bridge to/from Ethereum. Typical fees are sub-cent (often <$0.01), blocks finalize in ~3 seconds, throughput scales to hundreds of TPS, and activity has peaked above 1M daily active addresses during major game events.
What makes Ronin unique compared to other blockchain networks?
Ronin is uniquely tuned for Web3 games: ultra-low gas, 3s block times, and hundreds of TPS provide real-time responsiveness and microtransactions that general-purpose L1s struggle to deliver. Compared with Ethereum L1 (15 TPS, ~12s blocks, multi-dollar fees), Ronin’s sub-cent fees and faster finality enable seamless gameplay, free/discounted gas campaigns, and frictionless onboarding. Post-2022, the network added a circuit-breaker-secured bridge, an expanded DPoS validator set, and integrated tools (Ronin Wallet, Mavis Market, RNS) that harden security and streamline the game developer stack.
What is the gas token used for Ronin, and how to get it?
Ronin uses RON as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain RON by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
