Sky Mavis introduces Ronin zkEVM for improved network scalability
Built with Polygon’s Chain Development Kit, the new zero-knowledge Layer 2 chain aims to support the rapid growth of Ronin’s gaming ecosystem.
Ronin, the gaming blockchain from Sky Mavis, announced the launch of Ronin zkEVM, a Layer 2 chain that uses zero-knowledge technology to expand its network and support more users and games.
What’s the meaning: The launch strengthens Ronin’s ability to accommodate a broader user base, driving further innovation and expansion in the web3 gaming space.
How does it work: Ronin zkEVM uses zero-knowledge proof technology to create a layer 2 chain, which increases the capacity and efficiency of the network by offloading some of the processing to a secondary layer while maintaining the security and decentralization of the primary blockchain.
However: While zkEVM technology promises significant improvements, its implementation and widespread adoption will require ongoing development and user training to ensure seamless integration into existing gaming ecosystems.
Ronin teased the announcement on social media:
Scale down:
- Adoption of advanced solutions such as zero-knowledge proof systems (zkEVM) is a growing trend, which improves the performance and scalability of blockchain networks to support larger numbers of users and more complex applications.
- Technology will support more users and foster the growth of gaming partners who will drive innovation and expansion in Ronin’s gaming ecosystem.
Key Quote:
Trung Nguyen, CEO and co-founder of Sky Mavis has expressed plans to build a unified gaming ecosystem for seamless asset transfers, token swaps, and NFT swaps between Layer 1 and Layer 2 games with minimal gas fees.
“Our ultimate vision is to become the platform where the next billion people create their first crypto wallet, and we believe more games will be the way to get there.”
Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon and Chief Business Officer of Polygon Labs highlighted Ronin’s role in fusing advanced technology with broad distribution and user engagement.
- Nailwal predicts that Polygon CDK will revolutionize the Ronin gaming ecosystem, promoting a permissionless environment that attracts numerous game studios.
