Event description

  • Ronin Network, a blockchain tailored for gaming since its 2021 launch by Sky Mavis, is facilitating the migration of Origins and Beasts NFT collections from Arbitrum to its ecosystem, starting the week of April 14, 2025, to leverage Ronin’s EVM compatibility and low-cost transactions, which average $0.02 per swap compared to Arbitrum’s $0.50 as of 2024 data from L2Fees.
  • The migration, led by Kuroro Beasts—a Web3 gaming project—follows a trend of NFT projects like Forgotten Runiverse moving to Ronin for better gameplay and broader reach, driven by Ronin’s 700,000 daily active users in 2024, a 300% increase since 2022, largely due to Axie Infinity’s success, per DappRadar.
  • This strategic shift could boost Ronin’s $RON token price, as migrations often increase network activity; a 2023 study by Chainalysis found that layer-2 migrations can lead to a 15-20% token price surge within 30 days if user adoption rises, though risks like Arbitrum’s 2023 outage—causing 2-hour downtime—highlight potential stability concerns.

Ronin Network Feather Fan Upgrade

The Feather Fan Upgrade, launching at block 46557383, requires developers to update validators and RPC nodes by July 3. It integrates EIP-7702, a key feature of Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade (set for May 7, 2025), allowing Externally Owned Accounts (EOAs) to adopt smart contract wallet features without deployment costs. This reduces friction for users, especially gamers, and unlocks new UX improvements. Ronin’s alignment with Ethereum’s roadmap aims to enhance scalability and interoperability, potentially attracting more dApp developers to its ecosystem.Recent NewsOver the past three months, Ronin has been buzzing with activity. In April 2025, the network introduced a $10M Ecosystem Grants program, offering up to $300K in RON to support innovative builders (roninchain.com). This follows a strong 2024, where Ronin hit over 250,000 daily active addresses and $5B in total value locked (TVL) within nine months, per Coinbase.com. The upgrade builds on this momentum, signaling Ronin’s commitment to growth.Future PlansLooking ahead, Ronin aims to expand its gaming hub status beyond Axie Infinity. The roadmap includes onboarding new NFT projects and enhancing Ronin Market for seamless NFT trading (roninchain.com). The integration of EIP-7702 also sets the stage for future wallet innovations, potentially lowering barriers for global adoption. Sky Mavis, Ronin’s creator, plans to leverage these upgrades to support a broader range of blockchain games.Onchain DataSpecific onchain metrics for the upgrade period aren’t yet available (as of June 28, 2025), but historical data shows Ronin’s strength: over 2 million wallet downloads and millions of NFT transactions (Coinbase.com). Post-upgrade, expect a spike in transaction volume as developers and users adapt to new features. Keep an eye on platforms like Dune Analytics for real-time insights after launch.Community SentimentX reactions to the announcement (e.g., post 1937112864994758899) are overwhelmingly positive, with users like @JoelleMasiaGTI and @GoblinWarsGame hyping “$RON to the moon” and praising Ronin’s gamer focus. However, @A_J_Dominic raised concerns about $RON’s value, reflecting some uncertainty. Overall, the sentiment leans bullish, driven by the upgrade’s potential.Additional InsightsThis upgrade positions Ronin against competitors like Polygon, which also targets gaming but lacks Ronin’s play-to-earn heritage. Users benefit from faster, cheaper transactions and new wallet features, though early adopters should watch for potential teething issues. A risk disclaimer: as with any upgrade, volatility or technical glitches could occur—proceed with research.Join the excitement as Ronin levels up! Follow @Ronin_Network for updates.
