Hold onto your game controllers, folks—Ronin is on fire! The Ronin blockchain has just hit a new milestone, boasting a whopping 2 million daily active users (DAUs) as of July 29, according to Token Terminal. That’s right, Ronin is now the reigning champ of daily active users, leaving other blockchains like Tron and Solana in the dust.
Ronin Tops the Charts: Gaming’s Latest Superstar
On July 29, Token Terminal dropped the data bombshell that Ronin is leading the pack in daily active users. With 2 million DAUs, Ronin has edged out its competitors, including Tron, which clocked in at 1.8 million, and Solana with 1.2 million. It’s like Ronin’s gaming ecosystem has hit a home run, and the other blockchains are just trying to keep up.
For those keeping score, Token Terminal’s DAU chart counts the number of unique addresses interacting with business-relevant contracts. In simple terms, it’s a measure of how many distinct users are actively engaging and transacting within the network. So, Ronin’s two million DAUs are not just a number—they represent a bustling, lively gaming community.
What’s Fueling Ronin’s Growth Spurt?
So, what’s behind this surge in Ronin’s user base? The Ronin team recently dropped some insight in their mid-year review published on July 23. According to them, their impressive growth is thanks in part to a surge in activity on their NFT marketplace, Mavis Market, and the exciting listing of the Ronin (RON) token on Binance. Talk about a game-changer—this move was like opening a new gateway to “gamers country,” attracting heaps of new users.
In addition to that, Ronin boasts 12 million RON holders and has seen over three million downloads for its Ronin Wallet. And it’s not just the numbers—Ronin’s ecosystem now includes 15 playable games, with more on the way. That’s a lot of gaming action, folks!
Pixels Migration and zkEVM: What’s Next for Ronin?
One of the big stories is the migration of Pixels, one of the largest Web3 games by user count, to Ronin in February 2024. Pixels has been a hit, with its monthly active users peaking at 1.7 million in June. And get this—players have spent over 15 million Pixels (PIXEL) tokens on VIP coupons over the last year. That’s some serious in-game spending!
But Ronin isn’t stopping there. The network is also making waves with its tech upgrades. On June 18, Ronin announced its plans to introduce Ronin zkEVM, a zero-knowledge (ZK) Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) layer-2 chain. This new tech is set to use a modified version of the Polygon Chain Development Kit (CDK) to enhance its capabilities. According to Sky Mavis, the team behind Ronin, zkEVM will help “further decentralize Ronin” and use ZK-proof layer-2 rollups to manage billions in transactions in the future. Big dreams, big moves!
