Question 1

What is RON?

Accepted Answer

RON is the native utility token of the Ronin network. It is used both to pay the Gas required for network transactions and to connect players, application builders, and the community within the network; therefore, it is not an in-game points token exclusive to any single Ronin game. In actual on-chain operations, users need RON to pay for the network resources consumed by transaction execution and recording. Builders and projects can also participate through RON in network security, rewards, and treasury governance mechanisms.

Question 2

Why is RON the Gas asset on Ronin?

Accepted Answer

When submitting on-chain transactions on Ronin, such as transfers and contract interactions, RON is used to pay Gas fees. Gas fees are the fees required for the network to process a transaction and write it on-chain; if the wallet has insufficient RON, other assets cannot automatically substitute for payment, and the transaction generally cannot be submitted. Gas payment differs from the transaction amount: even if an NFT or another token is transferred, the fee is still settled in RON according to Ronin's network rules. Fees change with the resources required by the transaction and network rules, so the fee for any one transaction should not be treated as a fixed standard.

Question 3

How can RON participate in network security?

Accepted Answer

RON holders can delegate RON to validators to participate in Ronin's network security mechanism. Here, delegation means allocating tokens to validators to support their network responsibilities; it does not mean directly handing tokens to a particular game or application for use. Whether rewards can be earned, the reward rules, undelegation conditions, and potential risks depend on the validators and network rules at the time. Before staking or delegating, users should confirm validator status and applicable operating conditions; holding RON itself does not mean that one has automatically participated in network security.

Question 4

What is the relationship between RON holders and Ronin Treasury?

Accepted Answer

Ronin Treasury is a network treasury governed by RON holders. Holders' governance rights concern treasury-related decisions and do not mean that every holder has a directly redeemable share of treasury assets or a fixed cash flow. The treasury's fund flows are related to network activity: the official page states that after the 2025 EIP-1559 upgrade, a portion of the Gas fee from each transaction goes directly into the treasury; in addition, Ronin Market, Katana DEX, and sequencer net revenue can also form treasury inflows. Funds flowing into the treasury and how holders decide treasury matters through governance are two separate stages.

Question 5

What does RON's total supply represent?

Accepted Answer

The official RON page shows a total supply of 1 billion tokens. Total supply is a measure of RON's overall quantity and is not equivalent to the circulating amount immediately tradable on the market at a given time. To understand RON's tradable supply, total supply, circulation, and the status of locked or not-yet-distributed tokens need to be viewed separately. Total supply alone cannot indicate the amount available to an individual, nor can it independently indicate market liquidity.

Question 6

What is Proof of Distribution?

Accepted Answer

Proof of Distribution (PoD) is Ronin's RON reward mechanism for builders. Projects such as games, dApps, and DeFi protocols first register project information and their deployed smart contracts; the system calculates Builder Score solely based on activity from contracts registered in the tracking list. Builder Score is calculated for each period based on on-chain metrics from those contracts, and projects receive RON accordingly. Activity from unregistered contracts is not counted toward PoD; therefore, “having on-chain activity” and “that activity being eligible for PoD scoring” are not the same thing.

Question 7

How can builders have project contracts counted in PoD?

Accepted Answer

To enter PoD, builders must use a wallet that does not already hold another builder profile and is not a builder administrator for another project to register a project, set a treasury wallet to receive rewards, and add the project's deployed contracts. They must then prove that they have the appropriate control over each contract. Contract deployer verification can allow a contract to register itself on-chain; other acceptable ownership or authorization role verification methods may require Sky Mavis review. Finally, an activation transaction is submitted to put the builder profile on-chain; the administrator wallet must have sufficient RON to pay the Gas for this transaction.

Question 8

How is RON's network use related to token demand?

Accepted Answer

RON demand channels include paying Gas for Ronin transactions, delegating to validators to participate in network security, and builders paying Gas for PoD activation transactions. Increased network activity may increase demand for RON or fee flows in these use cases, but it does not guarantee a price increase. For example, more transactions result in more Gas payments and, under network rules, form partial treasury inflows; however, token price is also affected by tradable supply, market buying and selling, holder expectations, and overall market conditions. Treasury revenue or application activity cannot be directly equated with RON purchase demand or price performance.
