According to CoinDesk, the Ronin network has experienced a significant increase in its user base, growing over 700% since the beginning of 2024. This growth has been fueled by the resurgence of crypto gaming, particularly the success of the game Pixels. In the past month, Pixels has attracted 1.25 million unique users, according to DappRadar.

The popularity of play-to-earn gaming, especially in the Philippines, has contributed to the growth of the Ronin network. Jeffery Zirlin, head of growth for Sky Mavis, the company behind the Ronin blockchain, said that the success of Pixels has defied expectations. The game, which started on the Polygon network before moving to Ronin in October, now has as many as 750,000 daily active users.

Zirlin also mentioned that Ronin has 12.7 million wallet downloads, indicating a large number of potential users for the play-to-earn gaming sector. Unlike Axie Infinity, another popular game on the Ronin network, Pixels does not require users to be crypto-ready from the start. They can set up their wallets and start earning later on. Despite the seasonality of crypto gaming, Zirlin said that Ronin and Sky Mavis are prepared to handle the ups and downs of the market.
