RON token inflation will fall sharply from above 20% to under 1%, reducing emission levels and limiting new supply. Meanwhile, marketplace fee allocations to the treasury will increase 2.5 times, rising from 0.5% to 1.25%.<\/p>\n<p>Further reinforcing treasury growth, 90 million RON tokens originally set aside for staking will be reallocated to support the ecosystem. Additional inflows are expected from sequencer profits and network activity-related revenues.<\/p>\n<p>Ronin is also launching a proof-of-distribution system, which will automatically allocate rewards to developers based on measurable contributions. This replaces earlier manual processes and is intended to incentivise ongoing development within the network.<\/p>\n<p>The transition comes as blockchain gaming projects increasingly turn to established infrastructure, following a broader slowdown that has made standalone networks harder to sustain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Bitcoin\u2019s Quantum Defense Plan Faces Criticism From Cardano Founder<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Ethereum,Ronin#Ronin #Shifts #Ethereum #Layer2 #Major #Overhaul #Slashing #Inflation #Boosting #Treasury1777034021<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ronin will migrate to an Ethereum layer-2 using the OP Stack, marking the end of its sidechain model after four years.
