Ronin plans to adjust its economic model, eliminating passive staking rewards and shifting to token-weighted governance.

CoinFeed reported on March 4th that Ronin announced on its X platform that, with the network scheduled to upgrade to Ethereum Layer 2 in late March, Ronin will implement a series of economic model reforms. These include eliminating passive staking rewards and the old validator system, shifting to a "contribution-based" mechanism that provides targeted rewards to influential builders. The treasury will increase its revenue streams, including increased Ronin market transaction fee sharing, sorter profits, and token revenue from Ronin applications and games. Governance will shift from validators to a token-weighted voting system, with RON holders voting on treasury buybacks, investments, and DeFi activities. Ronin stated that the current RON token supply dynamics are problematic and require a complete overhaul.
