Exceeding both TRON and Solana, Sky Mavis’ Ronin blockchain recently grabbed the top spot in terms of daily active wallets, recording over 2 million on 26th July. Its total lifetime wallets are now over 23 million. So what’s driving the growth?
Despite a significant drop-off of daily active players in June, social RPG Pixels remains the top game on Ronin. Currently with up to 750,000 DAUWs, no other game on the blockchain is near.
However, other apps on Ronin are contributing to the current surge. Next after Pixels, data-sharing gaming protocol Carv, which announced its integration with Ronin earlier in 2024, is the top-rated app with more than 260,000 DAUWs. Carv is currently driving activity via its SOUL airdrop campaign, which lets users earn SOUL – that can later be converted to CARV tokens – for binding new users and their data to various networks, including Ronin.
With its $1 million Apeiron Guild Wars tournament running through the summer, hybrid PC god game Apeiron is also driving significant traffic, currently with around 100,000 DAUWs.
As for Sky Mavis’s own Axie Infinity, the company’s Q2 2024 update showed the game’s audience increased by 200% thanks to the release of Bounty Boards in May and a collaborative effort with Coinbase’s Learn & Earn campaign in June, which resulted in a significant influx of new wallets.
Around the 40,000 DAUW mark, as per data from DappRadar, sits mobile RTS Wild Forest which recently launched globally, and has just completed its play-to-airdrop season 2.
PC-based top-down 4V4 hero shooter The Machines Arena from Icelandic/Chinese developer Directive Games has also generated some interestlately. Ahead of the TMA token launch, the game is kicking off its play-to-airdrop campaign on 30th July, through which players can earn TMA tokens through quests, NFT minting and gameplay.
While Directive Games was one of the initial thirdparty developers to join Ronin in 2023, more recent games on the network include Fight League, which is adding to the growing activity with its free NFT mint on Ronin coming up 31st July.
In addition, MMORPGs Lumiterra and Forgotten Runiverse, both which announced their move to Ronin in June 2024, have imminent closed beta tests launching on the network within the next week.
