Ronin Adjusts Proof of Distribution System to Treasury Fee-Based Weighting

@Jihoz_Axie, co-founder of Axie Infinity and the Ronin Network, has announced key adjustments to the Proof of Distribution (POD) system based on community feedback from builders, gamers, and collectors.

The changes shift the NFT volume category from raw trading volume to fees paid to the Ronin treasury, aligning incentives with onchain activity that directly benefits the network. Similarly, the DEX volume category now uses fees paid to the treasury rather than raw volume for weighting. NFT volume that does not pay the Ronin treasury has been reclassified under the contract volume category. All three categories — NFT, DEX, and contract volume — are now denominated in RON.

Jihoz noted that the POD release has revealed two meaningful shifts: the Ronin treasury has become a unifying force, and builders are actively finding ways to drive more onchain activity benefiting the entire ecosystem.

These refinements aim to reward contributions that sustain the Ronin ecosystem rather than purely speculative activity, reinforcing Sky Mavis's focus on sustainable Web3 gaming economies.
