$AXS Axie Infinity is built on the ETH network, but the ETH chain is congested and the high gas fee makes the transaction cost too high. For game applications, what is needed is fast and cheap transaction fees, so as to ensure a friendly user experience. In order to achieve better development of Axie Infinity, Sky Mavis, the founding team of Axie Infinity, developed the Ronin sidechain. An ETH sidechain developed specifically for Axie Infinity ensures that users can freely transfer assets to other chains. When players play Axie games, Axies are deposited through smart contracts on ETH. Once Axies exist in the contract, they will be available on the Ronin chain. The Ronin sidechain is an independent blockchain compatible with ETH, running in parallel with the ETH mainnet, with its own consensus mechanism PoA authority proof.

PoA is a reputation-based system that can ensure fast and seamless transactions on the chain due to its limited number of validators and relatively centralized nature, and can be confirmed almost instantly.

Validators are carefully selected by the team based on their credibility.

Unlike proof of stake, if a validator misbehaves or negatively impacts the network, they lose credibility rather than tokens. #内容挖矿
