Ronin primary sources — 2026-08-13

This file captures the primary-source snippets used for the projects/ronin and companies/sky-mavis separation refresh.

Official homepage

• URL: https://roninchain.com/
• Retrieved: 2026-08-13 UTC
• Notes:
  • The homepage labels Ronin as Ronin Ecosystem and frames it as Freedom Through Play.
  • The lead positioning says Ronin is the blockchain for fun and practical blockchain applications.
  • Useful because it shows the current top-level story is not neutral infra alone; it is a vertically framed ecosystem venue.

Ronin Docs home

• URL: https://docs.roninchain.com/
• Retrieved: 2026-08-13 UTC
• Notes:
  • The docs homepage routes users to Quickstart, Explore the Ronin Developer Console, Set up a node, and Discover services & tools.
  • The Developer Console card says builders can Deploy, sell & list NFTs with no-code tools and Access Sky Mavis suite of products for distribution.
  • The same landing page routes builders toward Ronin Market and Ronin Store, which is useful evidence that the chain is packaged with first-party growth and monetization surfaces.

Quickstart docs

• URL: https://docs.roninchain.com/developers/quickstart
• Retrieved: 2026-08-13 UTC
• Notes:
  • The quickstart page offers guides for reading blockchain data, writing blockchain data, deploying a smart contract, and List NFT collection using Developer Console.
  • Useful because it shows that builder onboarding is not only RPC-and-contract deployment; listing and distribution workflow are folded into the default path.

Node operations docs

• URL: https://docs.roninchain.com/developers/nodes
• Retrieved: 2026-08-13 UTC
• Notes:
  • Ronin docs say Ronin is an Ethereum L2 built on the OP Stack.
  • The same page says the node software is the standard op-node and reth combination and that Ronin's L2 infrastructure is operated by Conduit.
  • The canonical setup is delegated to Conduit’s repository, which is a useful current operator-boundary detail.

Ronin Bridge docs

• URL: https://docs.roninchain.com/apps/ronin-bridge
• Retrieved: 2026-08-13 UTC
• Notes:
  • The bridge page says Ronin Bridge is an app for bridging ERC-20 tokens and NFTs between Ethereum and Ronin.
  • It also says Ronin Bridge is a multi-signature bridge and that multiple bridge operators have to approve transactions before finalization.
  • Useful because it keeps operator-approved bridge truth inside the live product docs, not only in the historical exploit narrative.

April 2022 funding / incident response post

• URL: https://blog.axieinfinity.com/p/funding
• Retrieved: 2026-08-13 UTC
• Notes:
  • The post says Sky Mavis' Ronin validator nodes and Axie DAO validator nodes were compromised.
  • It says The root cause of the breach was the small validator set and that Sky Mavis would increase the validator group to 21 validators.
  • It also says the Ronin wallet had been downloaded 3 million times, which is a useful indicator that wallet distribution was part of the same operator story.
  • Useful because it ties validator topology, bridge credibility, reimbursement, and wallet distribution into one first-party explanation of the live system.

Sky Mavis homepage

• URL: https://www.skymavis.com/
• Retrieved: 2026-08-13 UTC
• Notes:
  • Sky Mavis presents Ronin as one of its core products and describes Ronin as an EVM blockchain crafted for developers building games with player-owned economies.
  • The site groups Ronin beside Axie Infinity and the wider Mavis Ecosystem, which is useful evidence for the project-versus-company split.
