Sky Mavis Unveils Ronin zkEVM for Better Network Scaling
Built with Polygon’s Chain Development Kit, the new zero-knowledge Layer 2 chain aims to support the rapid growth of Ronin’s gaming ecosystem.
Ronin, Sky Mavis’ gaming blockchain, announced the launch of Ronin zkEVM, a Layer 2 chain using zero-knowledge technology to scale its network and support more users and games.
What’s the Significance: The launch enhances Ronin’s capacity to accommodate a larger user base which promotes further innovation and expansion in the web3 gaming space.
How it works: Ronin zkEVM uses zero-knowledge proof technology to create a Layer 2 chain, which increases the network’s capacity and efficiency by offloading some of the processing to a secondary layer while maintaining the security and decentralization of the primary blockchain.
However: While zkEVM technology promises significant improvements, its implementation and widespread adoption will require ongoing development and user education to ensure smooth integration into existing gaming ecosystems.
Ronin teased the announcement on social media:
Zoom out:
- The adoption of advanced solutions such as zero-knowledge proof systems (zkEVM) is a growing trend, enhancing the performance and scalability of blockchain networks to support a larger number of users and more complex applications.
