Ronin Migrates to Ethereum
Ronin (RON) · Releases & Updates · May 12, 2026
Ronin migrates from its own chain to Ethereum L2 on May 12, slashing RON inflation from 20% to under 1%.
Ronin — the gaming chain behind Axie Infinity and Pixels — is migrating to Ethereum as an OP Stack L2 on May 12, 2026. The upgrade powered by Optimism, Conduit, Boundless, and EigenDA brings major tokenomics improvements. RON inflation drops from 20%+ to under 1%, making RON significantly scarcer. A new Proof of Distribution reward system launches for builders, and Ronin Treasury gains new inflows from staking, sequencer profits, and marketplace fees.
- ~10 hours of downtime on May 12 — all onchain actions paused during migration - Unstake your RON before May 12 (or it will be auto-unstaked after migration) - RON inflation: 20%+ → less than 1% post-migration
