Ronin is Coming Home to Ethereum with Optimism’s OP Stack
•
Ronin is coming home to Ethereum, and Optimism is making it possible.
Last month, Ronin shared plans to migrate to a Layer 2 chain, with a vision to become Ethereum’s gamification engine. After considering four proposals, the Ronin Validator community ultimately voted to adopt Optimism’s OP Stack. We couldn’t be more excited to build together with Ronin and welcome their community to the Superchain.
Optimism is the best ecosystem for ambitious teams looking to build production-ready chains on Ethereum. The OP Stack delivers fast, cheap, and scaled blockspace, empowering projects like Ronin to focus on delivering the best products and experiences to their users. Optimism is the backbone of Ethereum’s rollup ecosystem, driving 71% of all L2 transaction fees year-to-date. With unmatched adoption, reliability, and scale, the OP Stack is the default choice for mission-critical infrastructure.
We invited Ronin to build its L2 on Optimism’s OP Stack along with a deeply integrated team of technical collaborators:
Eigen Layer offers unparalleled scale for millions of gamers, supporting up to 1M TPS via Eigen DA.
Boundless provides capital efficiency, with fast withdrawals and cost-effective scaling through ZK proving.
Conduit offers custom, high-availability sequencing with the highest uptime and performance across the OP Stack. Conduit OP Stack chains have delivered 100% uptime in the past 2 years.
Flashbots provides 200ms block times, only available on the OP Stack, and with a roadmap to continue to drive this time down to <100ms.
The OP Stack is trusted by world-class developers at Base, Ink, Unichain, World Chain, Soneium, Celo, and many others; all with their own unique communities, customization needs and technical requirements. By building with Optimism, Ronin will be closer than ever to innovation happening on Ethereum and across the OP Stack.
Ronin and its ecosystem will benefit from:
Proven Scale: Optimism has demonstrated the ability to scale live chains, and continues to improve scaling with partners like Base.
Player UX: With fast block times and support for customization, Optimism ensures strong UX for players across the Ronin ecosystem.
Real-World Performance: The OP Stack offers fast withdrawals, strong TPS, and a clear path to Stage 1 decentralization.
Migration Support: Optimism’s battle-tested playbook and deep technical expertise will help Ronin quickly and safely migrate to an L2.
Ecosystem Support: Ronin will benefit from Optimism’s partnerships and integrations, along with milestone-based incentives to drive growth.
Superchain Collaboration: Ronin users, creators, and builders will tap into the Superchain’s powerful network effects and shared innovation across the OP Stack.
Optimism gives chains the ability to customize features to their unique needs, while benefitting from shared security, upgrades and innovations across the OP Stack. For Ronin, this flexibility means their L2 will launch with $RON as a custom gas token, utilize EigenDA for data availability, and have a clear path towards full ZK validity proofs with Boundless.
Along with our technical collaborators, Optimism will partner with Ronin every step of the way, accelerating their vision to become Ethereum’s gamification engine. Over the coming weeks and months, we look forward to working closely with the Ronin team, getting to know the Ronin community better, and spearheading their L2 migration with all of the features needed to make this a pivotal moment for Web3 gaming and Ethereum adoption.
