After bidding for Arbitrum, Polygon and zkSync, Ronin chose Optimism's technology to transition it from Ethereum sidechain to a full L2 network. Optimism's winning bid includes 5 million OP tokens (depending on revenue metrics) and is upfront supported by companies such as Eigen Labs, which will add between $5 million and $7 million to Ronin's funding pool. The move aims to increase developers’ returns and integrate Ronin into Optimism’s ecosystem, which already includes Base and other companies. Ronin’s total lock-in value (TVL) is $54 million, well below Base’s $4.7 billion, but it brings gaming expertise to Optimism’s expanding L2 network.
