Axie Infinity is a blockchain-based gaming ecosystem that blends aspects of traditional gaming, cryptocurrency, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The game uses a Play-to-Earn (P2E) model and is set in a world named Lunacia, which is inhabited by creatures called Axies. The associated assets and transactions are conducted via the Ronin sidechain, a Layer-2 EVM-compatible blockchain built to scale Axie Infinity. Ronin is home to most digital assets used in the Axie Infinity ecosystem, and the project team is expanding the network to allow third-party game development studios to launch additional games. It uses a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism, with RON serving as its native token. The network is secured by 22 validators, 10 of which are operated by community members with the highest total combined RON stake. The remaining 12 are classified as Governing Validators and are operated by parties selected by the project team. In-depth information about Ronin can be found here.
