On June 18, 2024, Ronin has launched
its zkEVM, a zero-knowledge layer-2 chain, to enhance blockchain gaming.
This new development is built with the
Polygon Chain Development Kit (CDK) and aims to support more users and game
studios.
This strategic move will enable Ronin
to introduce its own zkEVM Layer 2 chains. Ronin is exploring Agglayer to turn
itself into an L2, leading to Ethereum alignment.
The integration with Polygon’s CDK is
tipped to help Ronin handle up to 4 billion daily transactions, a substantial
increase from its current capacity of about 40 million transactions per day.
Ronin zkEVM allows projects building on
Ronin to launch their own layer-2 chains on top of the Ronin mainnet.
zkEVM enables infinite blockspace by
enabling economically aligned layer 2 chains to be deployed on top of Ronin
Sky Mavis, the company behind the popular blockchain game Axie Infinity, it is the developer of the Ronin blockchain that focuses on supporting blockchain games. Jeff Zirlin is the co-founder of Sky Marvis.
The launch of Ronin zkEVM will increase Web3 gaming capabilities by helping scale the number of transactions and it is expected to accommodate more users and help game studio partners grow.
