In Q1 2025, Ronin executed a pivotal transition to a permissionless architecture, enabling open smart contract deployment and catalyzing a sharp increase in developer activity. Key ecosystem highlights included OpenSea’s integration, the explosive debut of Tama Meme, and the $21M Fableborne presale. While financial and usage metrics declined QoQ amid market headwinds, native DeFi TVL increased and infrastructure upgrades like the Cerastes hardfork and Ronin Developer Console laid the groundwork for long-term scalability. With $23M in capital programs launched and several new game deployments, Ronin is positioning itself as a broader platform for gaming, DeFi, and consumer apps.
