Ronin Migrates to Ethereum Layer 2 on May 12 With 10-Hour Downtime, Slashes RON Inflation to Below 1%

According to CoinDesk, Ronin will migrate from an independent sidechain to Ethereum Layer 2 via hard fork on May 12, bringing approximately 10 hours of network downtime during which all transfers, swaps, contract interactions, and on-chain gaming activities will be paused.

The upgrade introduces OP Stack architecture and reduces RON inflation from over 20% to below 1%, while raising market fees from 0.5% to 1.25% to enhance security and scalability.
