$RON Staking. Ronin Games. Wen? NOW.
Five years ago, a ragtag band of missionaries dreamed that we could create a new type of gaming ecosystem— one with digital property rights at its core, enabled by the latest advancements in blockchain technology.
Today, we take the next step in our journey together. Today, we’re one step closer to our infinite destiny.
To celebrate the launch of RON staking, we’re announcing the first game studio partners building on Ronin. Notably, we’re announcing the first expansions to the Ronin ecosystem outside of the Axie IP signaling that Ronin is becoming THE launchpad for the most thoughtfully crafted and compelling Web3 games. Beyond Lunacia.
We have unshakable conviction that Web3 is the next tectonic shift in gaming. If you also know this – and can’t sleep at night thinking about the possibilities – you’re in the right place. Let’s build together.
RON Staking Is Live!
Ronin is the first gaming chain both built by and owned by gamers. Since its fair launch, the only way to earn RON has been by farming it using in-game resources. As holders of the RON token and owners of Ronin, we’re calling upon our community to stake their RON tokens and secure the network.
RON Staking empowers anyone, anywhere to take an active role in supporting the Ronin– and earn rewards for doing so.Everyone has a choice: delegate your tokens to any of the 22 validators based on their contributions to the community, uptime, and commission rate. The amount of RON you earn depends on how much you stake and the validator you choose. Note that validators have until April 12th to set up their nodes, which means you may not see all of them today.
See our previous announcement for more details about staking rewards.

Meet Bali Games
Bali Games are the makers behind the Korean mobile puzzle game and smash-hit Anipang, which achieved $1.8 billion gross revenue and over 130 million downloads. Even Jiho’s mom played Anipang!
Bali Games has also expanded major IPs like Disney Pop, Snoopy Puzzle, and BT21. On Ronin, Bali Games will leverage these experiences to create Axie-inspired puzzle games starting with Axie Champions, a Match 3 game intended to introduce a new archetype of gamer to the Axie universe. In match3 games, players move objects on a grid to create a line or cluster of three or more identical objects. Think Axie X Candy Crush! Bali Games will also be building a Match 3 game outside of the Axie universe in the future.
