Ronin is shifting from an Ethereum sidechain to a Layer 2 solution, projected for completion in Q1 or Q2 of 2026. This transition, led by Sky Mavis, aims to integrate a $450M TVL and involve partners like Coinbase and Compound.
Sky Mavis’s decision to elevate Ronin to an Ethereum Layer 2 platform signifies a pivotal enhancement in decentralized gaming infrastructure, aligning more closely with Ethereum. The move also marks a significant shift in Ronin’s future integration.
Ronin’s upgrade will entail a multi-stage process involving governance and community input, led by core leaders at Sky Mavis. This transition involves $450 million in total value locked, influencing the project’s financial base significantly.
“Ronin aims to become a gamified engine for Ethereum and is set to fully integrate as an L2 solution by next year.” — Trung Nguyen, CEO of Sky Mavis, Binance
The upgrade is anticipated to transform the way financial assets and gaming economy function on Ronin by increasing security and scaling benefits through Ethereum’s ecosystem. Institutional roles by Coinbase and Compound highlight market trust in the process.
This extensive migration is expected to enhance liquidity flows and cross-chain transactions between Ronin and Ethereum, bolstering security. The process will require coordination over various phases to mitigate risks and downtime.
Historical trends in similar L2 migrations suggest potential boosts in developer adoption and market engagement for Ronin post-upgrade. Significant financial and technological dividends are likely, given precedents set by other Ethereum L2 successes.
