About the

The Ronin Protocol Development (a.k.a. Ronin Core Development) team is dedicated to advancing and optimizing the stability and dependability of Ronin. As an EVM chain, Ronin capitalizes on Ethereum's technology and network effects, solidifying its position as the third most utilized blockchain by Daily Active Users (DAU). We are actively engaged in improving security, decentralization, and particularly scalability. We are delving into low-level optimizations across operating systems, virtual machines, databases, and networking to vertically enhance scalability. We are also exploring advanced cryptographic tools (e.g., Zero Knowledge proofs) to horizontally scale the network.
