Ronin, the blockchain created for the gaming ecosystem of Axie Infinity, is set to transition back to the Ethereum network as a layer-2 solution. This change is driven by the improved performance of Ethereum, with better transaction speeds and lower costs, as well as increased interest from institutional investors in the Ethereum ecosystem. Initially launched in 2021 to provide faster and cheaper transactions for NFT gaming, the Ronin team now believes Ethereum is entering a new growth era. The migration to Ethereum’s layer-2 network is planned for Q2 2026 and will occur in two phases. The move aligns with Ethereum's emerging status as a favored platform among traditional financial institutions, highlighting its potential as a foundational layer for decentralized finance and other applications beyond gaming.
